What is Certificate of Origin?
Non-preferential certificates of origin are issued in India by export promotion councils and chambers of commerce. Preferential certificates are used to claim lower duty under a trade agreement.
On India–USA shipments
India and the US have no free trade agreement, so there is no preferential certificate for US shipments; a buyer may still ask for a non-preferential one, and US marking rules require the country of origin on the goods.
