Import Export Code (IE Code) Renewal, Surrender, and Updation in Brief:

• Renewal: IE Code does not have a renewal requirement. It remains valid as long as the entity is engaged in international trade activities.
• Surrender: Businesses or individuals not involved in international trade can voluntarily surrender their IE Code. The surrender process involves notifying the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and providing a reason for surrender.
• Updation: If there are changes in the details provided during the IE Code application (e.g., address, authorized signatory), it is essential to update the information with the DGFT. This ensures that the IE Code details remain accurate.
