Do You Need an IEC Code for Amazon Global Selling?

Planning to sell your products internationally through Amazon Global Selling? That’s a smart move — but before you can start shipping products abroad, you’ll need to get a few legal and compliance boxes ticked.

One of the most common questions we get is:

👉 “Do I need an IEC Code to sell on Amazon globally?”
The short answer is: Yes.
Let us explain why — and how we can help you get it hassle-free.


What is an IEC Code?

IEC stands for Importer Exporter Code. It’s a unique 10-digit code issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), under the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India.

It is mandatory for any individual or business looking to export goods or services outside India — whether through courier, post, or platforms like Amazon, Etsy, eBay, or Shopify.


Why is IEC Mandatory for Amazon Global Selling?

When you list your products on Amazon US, UK, Canada, UAE, or any other international marketplace, you are essentially engaging in cross-border trade. That makes your business an exporter — and as per Indian law, an IEC is a must for any kind of export activity.

Without it, you can’t:

  • Ship products internationally
  • Receive foreign payments legally
  • Clear goods through customs
  • Avail export incentives like GST refunds under LUT

Even if you are a sole proprietor or a home-based seller — you still need an IEC to sell globally.


Who Can Apply for IEC?

Anyone involved in international trade can apply:

  • Individuals
  • Sole Proprietors
  • Partnership Firms
  • Private Limited Companies
  • LLPs
  • Trusts & Societies

There is no GST or turnover requirement to get an IEC.


Documents Needed to Apply for IEC

The process is now completely online. Basic documents required include:

  • PAN of the applicant (Individual or Business)
  • Aadhaar or Company documents
  • Address proof (like electricity bill or rent agreement)
  • Bank account in the name of the business
  • A valid email ID and mobile number
