This update allows for the electronic issuance of GSP Form-A via the e-CoO Platform, simplifying the process for claiming reduced import duties.

FAQ :

The United Kingdom (UK) has been added to the e-COO Platform, enabling the electronic issuance of Preferential Certificates of Origin (CoO) for India's exports to the UK under the Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP).

Valid proofs of origin are either GSP Form-A (which does not require stamping by a designated authority) or an origin declaration that identifies the originating good.

Exporters can submit the GSP Form-A electronically on the e-CoO Platform. Physical pre-printed stationery for Form-A will no longer be issued.

According to UK authorities, the stamp and signature of the issuing authority are not mandatory. However, the electronic GSP certificate submitted via the e-CoO platform will be made available with an image signature through the online approval process.

Guidance on registration and application submission for the e-CoO Platform can be found in the Help manual & FAQs available on the platform's landing page at https://coo.dgft.gov.in.

For further assistance, you can raise a service request on the DGFT Helpdesk, call the toll-free Helpline number 1800-111-550, or send an email to coo-dgft@gov.in.
