Access IEC status, firm details, exporter category, registered address, owner information, branch details and available RCMC records using the IEC number.
The RPACPC IEC Verification API enables businesses to verify Importer Exporter Code (IEC) information using an IEC number. It returns the available firm and registration details, including IEC status, nature of concern, exporter category, incorporation date, DGFT regional office and other associated information.
The API also supports the get_all flag to request the available extended information, such as branch details, owner details and RCMC records.
This API can be integrated into exporter onboarding, business verification, trade finance, vendor due diligence and other KYB workflows.
The API response may include the following information, depending on the response received:
IEC number, IEC status, issue date and cancellation or suspension dates, where available.
Firm name, nature of concern and category of exporters.
Incorporation date, PAN number and DGFT regional office.
Firm mobile number, email address and registered address, where returned.
Available branch information and owner records, including name, PAN, father’s name and address.
Available Registration-cum-Membership Certificate records, file number and file date.
Provide the IEC number along with the required request and consent fields.
Set get_all to true to request all available details.
RPACPC processes the request and retrieves the available IEC-linked information.
Use the structured response in your business verification or onboarding workflow.
