Registration Services
Every licence you need to start exporting
IEC, AD Code, LUT and MSME registration are the four that stop a first shipment before it starts. We prepare and file them for you — and each guide below tells you exactly what is involved, so you can also do it yourself if you would rather.
What we can file for you
Government fees are paid to the department at actuals — we never mark them up. Our service fee is quoted when you enquire, so you always know which is which.

How we work
You send documents, we check them first
Most rejections are a mismatched address proof or a bank letter in the wrong format. We catch those before anything is filed or paid for.
You stay the applicant
Every filing is made in your name and signed with your own Aadhaar OTP or digital signature, as the law requires. We prepare and submit; we never sign for you.
Government fees at actuals
Department fees are paid to the department. We do not mark them up, and our service fee is quoted separately so you can see both.
Renewals diarised
An IEC needs a free annual update, an LUT lapses every April, an APEDA RCMC runs five years. We keep the dates so a lapse never surprises you.
Not sure which ones you need?
Tell us what you plan to export and where. We will tell you exactly which registrations apply — including the ones you do not need, which is usually the more useful half of the answer.
