Import Export Code (IEC) in Surat

What this covers in Surat

Licence applications from Surat are routed to the Gujarat state authorities and, where applicable, the central licensing body.

Gujarat does not levy professional tax; Ahmedabad and Surat are the main incorporation and GST hubs. Professional tax is not levied in Gujarat, which affects employer-side registrations and payroll compliance for Surat businesses.

Because the process is jurisdiction-agnostic in practice, a Surat applicant gets the same statutory outcome as anywhere else in Gujarat — what changes is the office that processes it and the state-level charges attached to it.
