IEC Registration

Any form of business that carries out the process of import and exports would require a business transaction number. This number is known as the import export code (IEC). The Import Export Code is a ten-digit identification number which has to be quoted by the business during every transaction of import and export. Every individual or business requires obtaining an IEC Certification. The process of obtaining the Import Export Code Certification is straightforward. However, it would be beneficial to utilise services from a third-party for import export code Certification.
