DGFT has operationalised a dedicated online module on the Trade Connect ePlatform for electronic issuance of Certificate of Origin for Agarwood exports, aimed at improving transparency, traceability, and ease of doing business. Exporters can apply online using existing DGFT credentials, upload origin and chain-of-custody documents, track status, and download the digitally issued certificate after approval. Applications are routed to the jurisdictional Divisional Forest Officer for verification and inspection, then to the State Nodal Officer for approval, rejection, or clarification. The module also provides an online verification facility for authorities and is to be used from 25 May 2026.
