DGFT Launches Open API to Simplify Certificate of Origin Process for Exporters
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has introduced an Open API facility on its Trade Connect e-Platform to streamline the process for exporters obtaining Certificates of Origin (CoO). This digital integration allows exporters to connect their ERP and accounting systems directly with the DGFT platform, reducing manual data entry, minimizing errors, and improving processing efficiency. The API supports both preferential and non-preferential CoOs, facilitating electronic submission, verification, and tracking of applications to ease compliance and enable tariff concessions under trade agreements.
