If you hold an Import-Export Code (IEC), this is a critical reminder you shouldn’t ignore!
As mandated by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), all IEC holders must update their IEC annually between April and June, regardless of whether any changes have occurred in the particulars.
🔍 Is It Mandatory to Update IEC?
Even if there are no changes to your IEC details, you are still required to confirm and update your information every year. Non-compliance may result in deactivation of your IEC, which can interrupt your import-export business operations.

📆 Important Deadline: June 30, 2025
Here’s what you need to know:
- Annual IEC update is compulsory (change or no change).
- June 30 is the last date to update or confirm.
- Deactivated IECs will need to be reactivated through an additional process
🛠 How to Update
