9. Summary description of the project/service
Brief Summary

METI plans to switch the way of issuance of COs by introducing the CO data exchange. In the CO data exchange, the issuing body of the exporting country sends the electronic data of CO directly to the customs authority of the importing country.




 

a. Objective(s)

Simplifying and speeding up origin certification procedures will increase use of the EPA, which is also expected to promote agricultural exports.

b. Business need for the project (background)

Simplification of existing procedures on origin of exported goods through data exchange

c. Business process covered*

Data exchange for certificates of origin

d. Overall architecture and functionalities*

In the CO data exchange, the issuing body of the exporting country sends the electronic data of CO directly to the customs authority of the importing country. By implementing the CO data exchange, exporters only need to submit an online application to the JCCI and have it certified, and they neither need to receive a CO on paper from the JCCI in person nor mail it to the importer, as was the case before.
