28 September 2010 No. IEC forms a primary document for recognition by Govt. of India as an Exporter/ Importer.

28 September 2010 Agree, with pyne sir,

However attention also that the following categories of importers or exporters are exempted from obtaining Importer - Exporter Code (IEC) number:

Importers covered by clause 3 (1) [except sub-clauses (e) and (l)] and exporters covered by clause 3(2) [except sub-clauses (i) and (k)] of the Foreign Trade (Exemption from application of Rules in certain cases) Order, 1993.

Ministries/Departments of the Central or State Government.
Persons importing or exporting goods for personal use not connected with trade or manufacture or agriculture.

Persons importing/exporting goods from/to Nepal provided the CIF value of a single consignment does not exceed Indian Rs. 25, 000.

Persons importing/exporting goods from/to Myanmar through Indo-Myanmar border areas provided the CIF value of a single consignment does not exceed Indian Rs. 25,000.

However, the exemption from obtaining Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) number shall not be applicable for the export of Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipments and Technologies (SCOMET) as listed in Appendix- 3, Schedule 2 of the ITC(HS) except in the case of exports by category(ii) above.
