Overview

Why Somalia asks for a legalised Import Export Code (IEC) and trade registration documents

The Import Export Code (IEC), often called the import export licence, is the basic registration every Indian exporter needs. Overseas buyers and regulators ask for it, along with the RCMC and GST certificate, when they register you as a supplier. The Import Export Code is issued online by the DGFT; related trade registrations include the RCMC from export promotion councils.

Tender authorities and importers in Africa frequently ask Indian suppliers for legalised licences and registration certificates.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Somalia usually ask for a legalised Import Export Code (IEC) and trade registration documents for supplier or vendor registration, product registration by importers or government tenders.

The Import Export Code (IEC) and trade registration documents issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Somalia in New Delhi.
