Exporters and Importers in India must obtain an Import Export Code to operate their business legally. Having an IEC certificate allows you to sell your product in the international market as a registered Exporter. You are not allowed to import or export goods without IEC code registration. Once the IEC code is issued, an exporter can apply for port registration on the ICEGATE portal with the help of AD Code Registration.

Getting an IEC code is the first step of your import/export business. No matter what products you are exporting, you will need an import-export license at every step.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
