Self-certified Origin Declarations under the India-UK CETA may support preferential tariff claims only after authentication and assignment of a Unique Reference Number. UK exporters or producers must send the declaration to the designated CBIC email address and the importer's ICEGATE-registered email; importers must quote the URN in the relevant Bill of Entry. Authentication confirms the declaration's genuineness, not the originating status of goods, which remains subject to separate verification. Declarations are valid for twelve months and generally apply to a single shipment, with specified flexibility for warehoused goods cleared through multiple ex-bond Bills of Entry. Transitional claims are permitted for eligible goods arriving or remaining under customs control when the Agreement takes effect.
