FAQ :

These rules came into force on 21st September 2020.

The rules apply to the import of goods into India where the importer claims a preferential rate of duty under a trade agreement.

To claim a preferential rate of duty, an importer must make a declaration on the bill of entry, indicate the relevant tariff notification, produce a certificate of origin for each item, and enter specific details of the certificate of origin into the bill of entry.

A claim can be denied without verification if the certificate of origin is incomplete, has unauthenticated alterations, is produced after its validity period, or is issued for an ineligible item.

Importers must keep all supporting documents related to the origin claim for at least five years from the date of filing the bill of entry.

If an importer fails to provide the required information and documents within ten working days, or if the provided information is insufficient, the proper officer may forward a verification proposal.
