FAQ
Certificate of Origin — common questions
What is a certificate of origin?
A certificate of origin certifies the country where goods were manufactured. Importers use it to claim preferential duty under trade agreements and to meet destination import requirements.
What is the difference between preferential and non-preferential COO?
A non-preferential COO simply states the country of origin. A preferential COO, issued under a trade agreement (FTA), lets the importer claim reduced or zero customs duty.
Who issues the certificate of origin in India?
Authorised chambers of commerce and government-designated agencies issue certificates of origin in India. Preferential certificates are issued under specific trade agreements via designated authorities.
Is a certificate of origin always required?
Not always — it depends on the destination country and whether the importer is claiming preferential duty. Many shipments require it; your forwarder can confirm based on the destination and goods.
