Certificate of Origin

A Certificate of Origin (CoO) is an essential international trade document that certifies the country in which the goods in a shipment are manufactured or produced. It serves as proof of the product's origin and includes key information such as the nature of the goods, the country of export, and their destination.

Types of Certificates of Origin

There are two main types of Certificate of Origin issued in India

Preferential Certificate of Origin

Non-Preferential Certificate of Origin

Who Issues a Certificate of Origin?

Importance of Certificate of
Origin in International Trade

Customs Clearance

A CoO is mandatory for customs authorities to assess applicable duties and release the shipment.

Trade Agreements & Tariff Benefits

Under trade agreements, certain goods from India are eligible for duty exemptions or concessions, subject to origin criteria. A valid CoO is the only proof that enables you to avail these benefits.

Regulatory & Political Controls

In some cases, goods from specific countries are restricted or subject to special duties due to political or trade policy decisions. CoOs help customs enforce such rules and restrict unauthorized imports.

Export Incentives

To claim export incentives and benefits under India’s FTP (Foreign Trade Policy), proof of origin is often mandatory. CoO ensures you comply and qualify for benefits.

Detection of Illegal Imports

The document is also critical for customs authorities to trace the origin of goods and identify unauthorized or prohibited trade.
