Subject: Electronic filing of Non-Preferential Certificate of Origin (CoO) through the Common Digital Platform for India’s Exports w.e.f. 15th April 2021
                      In continuation to the earlier Trade Notice 42/2020-2021 dated 19.02.2021, it is informed that the electronic platform for Certificate of Origin (CoO) (URL: https://coo.dgft.gov.in ) is being expanded beyond Preferential Certificate of Origin to facilitate electronic application of Non-Preferential Certificates of Origin.

         2. The objective of the platform is to provide an electronic, contact-less single window for the CoO related processes. Applications for Non-Preferential Certificate of Origin may also be submitted through e-CoO platform w.e.f. 15th April 2021. However, there shall be a transition period for CoO(NP) issuing agencies to on-board this common digital platform. Submitting CoO(NP) applications on this online platform shall not be mandatory for the exporters in the immediate. The existing procedure of submitting paper CoO applications directly to the designated issuing agency shall also be in operation in parallel. Submission and issuance of CoO(NP) by the issuing agencies through their paper based system may continue up to 31st July 2021 or until further orders.
