IEC Code
Hi
In order to start Import-Export trade, you need an IEC Code, ie Import Export Code as issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade.You can check for your regional office on google.Before approaching them its advisable to keep ready a few important documents like trade License ( also called as Gumasta sometimes ) in your newly created firm name.Then you must open a Bank Current account in the same firm name, obviously you will have a Pancard too.
When you go to the DGFT office, I am sure you will find many Agents/Consultants who may want to assist you for a nominal charge....Its advisable to take their services as it will not only ease your work but also expadiate it....
However, I would suggest that first you start supplying your products to other exporters to judge your market ...You can have the IEC at any time....
Hope that helps...
