Certificate of Origin

Guideline For Authentication Of Export Documents

Calcutta Chamber of Commerce is officially authorized by the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India to issue Certificate of Origin (Non-preferential) in respect of goods exported from India.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has mandated that all Certificates of Origin (CoOs)—both Preferential and Non-Preferential—must be issued electronically through the eCoO 2.0 platform (https://www.trade.gov.in), making manual/physical CoOs invalid for exports from India.

Effective Deadline: The mandate to use the electronic platform for non-preferential CoOs came into effect by 1 January 2025.

Register at the DGFT CoO portal using your IEC, PAN, and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Fill in application details (HS code, invoice details) and upload documents (invoice, packing list). Pay the fees online, preview the document, and submit to receive a digitally signed Certificate of Origin (CoO).
