Certificate of Origin (COO) Registration Service
A Certificate of Origin (COO) is an essential trade document that certifies that the goods in an export shipment are wholly obtained, produced, or manufactured in a particular country. This certificate is mandatory for customs clearance and to avail benefits under Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) or Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs).
At License Mantra, we assist exporters in obtaining both Preferential and Non-Preferential Certificates of Origin from designated government authorities or chambers of commerce. We ensure correct documentation, fast turnaround, and full compliance with destination country requirements—making your global trade journey seamless and credible.
