Executive Summary:
This Public Notice from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade amends the Handbook of Procedure 2015-2020 regarding the Importer-Exporter Code (IEC). The notice details modifications to the application process for IEC and eIEC, including online submission and modifications. It eliminates the requirement for digital signatures and introduces system-generated IECs. The changes are effective as of August 8, 2018.
