Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Import Export Code (IEC), explaining it's a mandatory identity number for all exporters and importers, not a tax exemption. It details how to export goods without GST by registering for GST and obtaining a Letter of Undertaking (LUT). The LUT is an undertaking to pay taxes if export conditions aren't met, and the application process is straightforward via the official portal.

IEC refers to Import Export Code issued by DGFT. It is mandatory for every exporter or importer to have this code before making such export or Import.

It is only an Identity code and doesn't give any exemptions from taxes on exports or imports.

To make exports without GST, you have to register under GST and submit LUT and then you can export without GST with condition that exports will be received before time limit mentioned under FEMA guidelines
