Notice 42/2020-2021 dated 19.02.2021, 48/2020-2021 dated 25.03.2021, 10/2021-2022

32/2021-22 dated 24.01.2022 and 04/2022-2023 dated 27.04.2022, it is informed that the
transition period for mandatory filing of applications for Non-Preferential Certificate of
Origin through the e-CoO Platform has been further extended till 31st March 2023.

2. While the exporters and NP CoO Issuing Agencies would have the option to use
the online system, the same shall not be mandatory till 31st March 2023. The existing
systems of processing non-preferential CoO applications in manual/paper mode are
being allowed. For guidance on registration and online application submission process,
the Help Manual & FAQs may be seen on the landing page at https://coo.dgft.gov.in

3. The authorised agencies are therefore required to sensitize the exporting
community and their constituents regarding the online system and its registration
requirements well in time. Any issues relating to the IT system and its implementation
may also be brought to our notice for appropriate action
