Overview

When you need a legalised Import Export Code (IEC) and trade registration documents in the UAE

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.

Buyers and government tender portals in the Middle East often ask Indian suppliers for legalised registration documents before approving them as vendors.

Authorities, banks and business partners in the UAE 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 the UAE in New Delhi.

After the UAE mission in India legalises the document, most UAE authorities also require attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) after arrival, which your UAE partner usually completes. Many import invoices are now attested electronically by MOFA on the importer's side, so confirm with your buyer before attesting invoices in India.
