CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN is an invaluable document to be procured by the exporter in respect of goods exported from India. This certificate indicates that the goods, which are being exported, are actually manufactured in a specific country mentioned therein. When imports from certain countries are favorably treated in the matter of levy of import duties, the Customs Authorities of concerned country insist on some proof of the fact that the goods are genuine products of such countries. For this, a certificate of origin is sent to the importer by the exporter. As the very name indicates, it is a certificate indicating the fact that the goods, which are being exported, have originated / manufactured in a particular country. It is a sort of declaration testifying the origin of exports. It is mainly useful for taking advantage of a preferential duty, if available. It also ensures that banned articles do not go to the importing country. Finally, the certificate of origin ensures that the goods have not been re-shipped by the exporter after importing from some other country.
Types of CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN
Uses of CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN (mainly to the Importer):
In our country, the Chambers of Commerce, Export Promotion Councils and various Trade Associations/Councils, which have been authorized by the Government, to issue the Certificate of Origin.
