Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the process of obtaining an Import Export Code (IEC) for individuals involved in trading clothes. It confirms that selecting 'merchant export' from the 'Nature of Concern' dropdown is the correct option for those without their own manufacturing facilities. The guidance also explicitly states that merchant exporters are permitted to both import and export goods.

If there is no own manufacturing , select merchant export.
