Trade Notice No. 25/2026/27 issued by DGFT on 7th September 2026. DGFT has introduced an Open API facility for issuance of Certificates of Origin (CoO) through the Trade Connect platform and the same is now made available for use by eligible exporters as per prescribed process and technical requirements.
The objective of the Open API facility is to enable exporters to integrate their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), accounting or other software systems with the DGFT’s Certificate of Origin system for electronic submission and exchange of CoO-related information, thereby reducing manual data entry and facilitating a more efficient application process.
The complete process for registration, API access, authentication, technical integration and use of the Open API facility is available on the Trade Connect portal, at
