IEC Advanced API
Retrieve exporter and firm details from an Import Export Code, confirming a business is authorised for foreign trade before you onboard or pay it.
Overview
What the IEC Advanced API does
IEC Advanced returns the exporter and firm details registered against an Import Export Code, the identifier required for cross-border trade from India.
Any business claiming to import or export must hold a valid IEC. Verifying it confirms both that the trade activity is authorised and that the entity behind it is the one you think you are dealing with.
