IEC Update Deadline : Are You Compliant?
As June 30th 2025 nears, there’s a critical compliance step every importer and exporter in India must take: updating their Importer Exporter Code (IEC). The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) mandates that all IEC holders verify and update their details annually between April 1st and June 30th, even if there are no changes. Missing this deadline can lead to deactivation of your IEC, halting your international trade operations.
