FAQ :
The CBIC has replaced the term 'Certificate of Origin' with 'Proof of Origin' in the Customs (Administration of Rules of Origin under Trade Agreements) Rules, 2020 (CAROTAR, 2020).
The amendment aims to streamline trade procedures, align with international practices, and facilitate trade by simplifying administrative requirements, reflecting a global shift towards self-certification.
'Proof of Origin' now covers both Certificates of Origin issued by designated Issuing Authorities and self-declarations made by eligible exporters, producers, or other designated persons.
The amendment aligns CAROTAR, 2020, with the amended Section 28DA of the Customs Act, 1962.
All verification requests for proof of origin under Trade Agreements should be addressed to the Directorate of International Customs (DIC), specifically the FTA Cell.
The modification regarding Circular 38/2020-Customs is implemented with immediate effect.
