Products You Can Commonly Export with Just IEC
Starting an export business in India does not always require multiple certifications and complicated approvals. For many non-regulated product categories, businesses can begin exports with just an IEC (Import Export Code), basic shipping documents, and invoices.
If your products are non-food, non-medical, non-chemical, non-electronic, and non-hazardous, exporting can be much simpler and faster.
