The DGFT issued Trade Notice No. 10/2021-2022 dated July 19, 2021 for the extension of date for Mandatory electronic filing of Non-Preferential Certificate of Origin (CoO) through the Common Digital Platform to October 01, 2021.
In continuation to the earlier Trade Notice 42/2020-2021 dated February 19, 2021 and 48/2020-2021 dated March 25, 2021, it is informed that the electronic platform for Certificate of Origin (CoO) (URL: https://coo.dgft.gov.in ) which was made live for issuing preferential certificates under different FTAs has now been expanded to facilitate electronic application for Non-Preferential Certificates of Origin as well.
The objective of this platform is to provide an electronic, contact-less single window for the CoO related processes. However, on the request of certain Chambers/Associations the existing system of submitting and processing non-preferential CoO applications in manual/paper mode is being allowed for the time being and the online system is not being made mandatory. This option of submission and issuance of CoO (Non-Preferential) by the issuing agencies through their paper-based systems may continue further up to September 30, 2021.
All Agencies as notified under Appendix-2E are required to ensure the on-boarding exercise is completed latest by September 30, 2021. The concerned agencies may reach out over email to ddg2egov-dgft[at]gov[dot]in for any guidance or clarifications in regard to the on-boarding process.
