Dear Members,
As you are aware, that India- Australia “Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA)” was ratified recently by Australian Parliament. It was also announced that India Australia ECTA would be effective from 29.12.2022.
In this regard, O/o DGFT has issued Trade Notice No. 23/2022-23 dated December 22, 2022 regarding the Electronic filing and Issuance of Preferential Certificate of Origin (“CoO”) under India-Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (“Ind-Aus ECTA”) w.e.f. December 29, 2022.
It is informed that the electronic platform for Certificates of Origin (eCoO) is being expanded to facilitate issuance of Preferential Certificates of Origin for exports to Australia under India-Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (Ind-Aus ECTA) with effect from December 29, 2022
The Indian Exporter may please take note of the following points regarding the eCoO application process being notified herewith:
-
-
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) would be required for the purpose of electronic submission. The digital signature would be the same as used in other DGFT applications.
-
The digital signature may be Class III and should have the IEC of the firm embedded in the DSC.

Any new applicant exporter would be required to initially register at the portal. The password would be sent on the email and mobile number of the IEC holder. In case the IEC holder desires to update their email on which communication is to be sent, the same may be done by using the ‘IEC Profile Management’ service on the DGFT website https://dgft.gov.in

Once registration is completed, the IEC branch details would be auto-populated as per the DGFT-IEC database. Applicant is required to ensure that updated IEC details are available in the DGFT system. Necessary steps may be taken to modify the IEC details, when required.
