Food safety certificates: what your business needs?

At the foundation of any export business in India lies the Import Export Code (IEC). This fundamental requirement, issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), serves as your company's unique identifier in international trade. The 10-digit code is mandatory for all import and export operations. The application process for freeze-dried vegetable manufacturers in India involves submitting detailed company information, including incorporation documents, bank account details, and PAN information. While obtaining an IEC is relatively straightforward, it's just the first step in a series of necessary certifications for frozen and freeze-dried vegetable businesses.
