https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=90853 Effective June 1, 2025, electronic Certificates of Origin (e-CoO) issued by the Mauritius Revenue Authority under the India-Mauritius CECPA are recognized as valid for claiming preferential tariff treatment, provided they meet prescribed format, seal, signature, and notification requirements. Verification of e-CoOs includes use of specimen seals, signatures, QR codes, and an online portal. Importers or Customs Brokers must upload the e-CoO on the e-Sanchit system and accurately enter its details when filing bills of entry. For defacement, a printed copy of the e-CoO must be presented to Customs officers, who will verify details against the bill of entry; this replaces defacing original hard copies. The system prevents reuse of the same CoO reference number across multiple entries. Customs authorities are instructed to implement these procedures accordingly. en-us Wed, 23 Jul 2025 18:36:22 +0530 Wed, 23 Jul 2025 18:36:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=90853 Effective June 1, 2025, electronic Certificates of Origin (e-CoO) issued by the Mauritius Revenue Authority under the India-Mauritius CECPA are recognized as valid for claiming preferential tariff treatment, provided they meet prescribed format, seal, signature, and notification requirements.
