WHY DGFT DSC IS DIFFERENT

IEC-Embedded Digital Security for Cross-Border Trade

Standard digital signatures do not contain an embedded Import Export Code (IEC). The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) strictly requires that the applicant's 10-digit IEC is digitally embedded into the certificate’s user identity parameters.

With a DGFT DSC from OMYA INFOTECH, your certificate communicates flawlessly with the DGFT server and ICEGATE customs gateway. Submit export incentive applications, sign electronic bills of lading, and process shipments without port delays or authentication rejections.

Up to 50% Reduction in DGFT Application Fees

Using a DGFT DSC for online licensing, authorizations, and duty credit scrips entitles exporters and importers to significant fee rebates from the Department of Commerce compared to manual submissions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DGFT Digital Signature FAQs

Common questions regarding IEC linking and customs portal compliance.

Can a normal Class 3 DSC be used on the DGFT portal?

No. The DGFT portal requires the certificate to contain the specific IEC (Import Export Code) embedded in the OID field. A generic Class 3 DSC will result in an "IEC mismatch" error on the DGFT system.

Can a DGFT DSC be used on ICEGATE and other portals?

Yes. DGFT DSCs are fully compatible with ICEGATE Indian Customs, e-SANCHIT, and other foreign trade portals. In addition, they can also be used on GST and MCA portals if needed.

What happens if my IEC details change?

If your IEC or branch codes change, a fresh DGFT DSC reflecting the updated IEC profile will need to be issued, as cryptographic certificates cannot be edited once signed by the Certifying Authority.

What validity options are available for DGFT DSC?

You can choose 1 Year, 2 Years, or 3 Years. Most international trading companies prefer 2 or 3 years validity to align with multi-year export authorizations and foreign trade policies.
