DGFT Consultant YKG Global: Certificate of Origin (COO) for Exports
A Certificate of Origin (CoO) is an essential document issued by a competent authority, verifying the country of manufacture or processing of exported goods. Governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), it ensures exporters comply with international trade regulations. Certificates are particularly critical for perishable items such as fruits, vegetables, and flowers, expediting customs clearance globally.
Why is a Certificate of Origin Important?
- Proof of Origin: Establishes the manufacturing country of the goods.
- Trade Agreement Compliance: Verifies if goods qualify for duty preferences under Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).
- Customs Clearance: Facilitates the clearance process, especially for regulated goods.
- Accurate Duty Assessment: Ensures correct customs duties are levied based on the product's origin.
- Transparency in Trade: Reduces counterfeit risks and builds trust in international supply chains.
Types of Certificate of Origin:
- Preferential CoO: Provides tariff concessions under specific international trade agreements.
- Non-Preferential CoO: Certifies the origin of goods without offering tariff benefits.
Benefits of Obtaining a CoO:
- Tariff Reduction: Enables reduced or waived duties under trade agreements.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensures adherence to international trade mandates.
- Access to Incentives: Facilitates eligibility for subsidies and export benefits.
- Traceability: Enhances supply chain transparency and combats counterfeiting.
Steps to Obtain a Certificate of Origin:
- Apply through the DGFT online portal with documents such as:
- Shipping Bills
- Invoice and Packing List
- Bill of Lading/Airway Bill
- Digital Signature Certificate
