The Trade Connect e-Platform functions as a key digital reference point for international buyers seeking accomplished Indian exporters. Initially exclusive to Status Holder exporters, the service will now be accessible to a broader base of Indian exporters. The updated criteria mandate that, in addition to Status Holders, any entity with a valid, non-delisted Import-Export Code (IEC) is eligible if they have achieved a minimum export realization of $100,000 in at least one of the previous three financial years. Eligible exporters, identified via their IEC-linked Trade Connect accounts, will automatically see the option to create a microsite to showcase their products and credentials.
