Certificate of Origin (CoO) Issuance in Pune: DGFT Common Portal e-CoO for Free Trade Agreements (FTA)

Securing Certificates of Origin (CoO) for Global Shipments in Pune

When goods arrive at foreign customs destination ports, importing customs authorities require authentic certification establishing that the products were genuinely produced or manufactured in India. A Certificate of Origin (CoO) is the essential international trade document that satisfies customs rules of origin and unlocks massive tariff reductions under international trade treaties.

The DGFT has centralized all certificate issuance onto the Common Digital Platform for Electronic Certificate of Origin (e-CoO) (coo.dgft.gov.in). Pune exporters can secure two types: Preferential CoO (granting reduced or zero customs duties under Free Trade Agreements like India-UAE CEPA, India-Australia ECTA, ASEAN, and SAFTA) or Non-Preferential CoO (issued through recognized chambers of commerce like MCCIA). KOKJAGUAR Consultancy manages same-day digital e-CoO issuance. Explore our Certificate of Origin services.

Preferential vs Non-Preferential Certificates

• Preferential CoO: Enables foreign buyers to claim lower or zero customs duty rates under bilateral and multilateral FTAs/PTAs.
• Non-Preferential CoO: Standard proof of Indian origin required for general customs clearance, letter of credit (LC) terms, and embargo compliance.
• Authorized Agencies in Pune: Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA), Export Inspection Agency (EIA), and DGFT.
