DGFT Notifies Agencies for Certificate of Origin under India-Oman CEPA
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) announced the operationalization of the Certificate of Origin under the India-Oman Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). This initiative includes designating authorized agencies responsible for issuing the certificate, which is crucial for facilitating trade under the CEPA framework.
The DGFT has also amended the Handbook of Procedures (HBP) to include guidelines related to the issuance of the Certificate of Origin. This move aims to streamline trade processes and enhance regulatory compliance between India and Oman.
Legal practitioners involved in international trade should closely follow these developments, as compliance with the new Certificate of Origin regulations will be vital for businesses engaging in trade under the India-Oman CEPA.
