Key Update
AYUSHEXCIL has now been added to Serial No. 19 (Delhi) in Appendix 2E of the Appendices & Aayaat Niryat Forms of FTP 2023, joining the list of agencies authorized to issue Non-Preferential Certificates of Origin (CoO).
What is a Non-Preferential Certificate of Origin?
A Non-Preferential Certificate of Origin certifies that the goods being exported are of Indian origin but does not qualify the goods for any preferential tariff treatment. This certificate is typically required by importing countries for regulatory or statistical purposes.
Boost for the AYUSH Sector
This authorization is a significant milestone for the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) industry:
- Ease of Doing Business: Exporters in the AYUSH sector now have a dedicated council to handle their CoO needs.
- Industry Recognition: Reinforces the role of AYUSHEXCIL in promoting traditional wellness products globally.
- Administrative Efficiency: Reduces dependency on general export councils and improves turnaround times for documentation.
✉️ Conclusion
With AYUSHEXCIL now empowered to issue Non-Preferential Certificates of Origin, the Indian traditional medicine and wellness industry is better positioned to tap into global markets. This policy move reflects the government’s commitment to supporting sector-specific export facilitation under the FTP 2023.
