Is IEC compulsory for every importer/exporter?

In most practical import-export transactions, IEC is required for customs and foreign remittance workflows. Applicability should still be checked case-wise for your business model.

Is IEC a one-time registration or does it need regular renewal?

IEC is generally a one-time code linked with PAN, but profile details must remain updated. DGFT also requires periodic profile confirmation/update as per current portal rules.

Can one PAN have multiple IECs?

Typically one IEC is issued per PAN. If there are profile issues, corrections/updates should be filed instead of duplicate applications.

How long does IEC approval usually take?

Straightforward cases can move quickly, often within a few working days. Timelines can extend if document mismatch or query/clarification is raised.

Do your charges include government fees?

Government/DGFT fee (if any) and third-party costs are separate. Professional fee covers document checks, filing support, and query/follow-up handling as per selected scope.
