Import/Export (IE) Code Modification

Keep your IEC details accurate on the DGFT portal.

About Import/Export (IE) Code Modification

An Import Export Code must always reflect your current business details, and any change — in address, bank account, constitution, directors/partners, or contact information — needs to be updated on the DGFT portal. IEC modification is also required during the mandatory annual update, where even businesses with no changes must confirm their details to keep the code active. An outdated or unconfirmed IEC can be deactivated, disrupting your imports, exports and foreign remittances. The modification process is fully online, and we ensure your amendments are filed correctly so that customs clearances and banking transactions continue without interruption.
