<h1>Certificate of origin digitisation allows authorised chamber to issue online certifications, replacing manual issuance and easing exporter compliance.</h1> DGFT authorised the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry to issue certificate of origin (non-preferential) via the Trade Connect online portal; the chamber will process and verify applications submitted through the portal, eliminating physical submissions. DGFT has mandated the discontinuation of manual issuance nationwide, requiring all certificates of origin to be issued exclusively through the digital platform, making KCCI the sole regional chamber empowered for online issuance and aiming to streamline export documentation for multiple local sectors.
