Dear Members,   We would like to inform you that the O/o DGFT  has issued Trade Notice No. 02/2018-19 dated  11/04/2018 regarding launch of facility to check status of Importer Exporter Code (IEC) application made to DGFT.   As you are aware,  Importer Exporter Code (IEC) is applied/ modified through online portal for IEC application.  However, it has come to notice of DGFT that in some cases even after issuance of IEC by DGFT, the IEC data though transmitted by DGFT to ICEGATE (Customs) is not accepted by ICEGATE (Customs) due to some transmission errors. As a result, the IEC holder is unable to export/import using this IEC.    Therefore, for early detection/timely resolution of such cases, a facility has been created to check the current status of IEC application and status of IEC transmission to ICEGATE. The status query is based on PAN used in IEC application made to DGFT.
