Brief Summary
The Electronic Origin Data Exchange System aims at facilitating the smooth implementation of the India-Korea Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) by way of electronic exchange of origin information between the two customs administrations in respect of the goods traded under the CEPA.
a. Objective(s)
The EODES enables the electronic submission of Preferential Certificate of Origin (PCO) and electronic Declaration of Origin, between the Republic of Korea and India. EODES shortens the transmission lead time and issues PCO authenticity, thus reducing the goods’ time-to-market through faster Customs clearance.
b. Business need for the project (background)
The business need is the elimination of hardcopy PCO enabling companies to enjoy savings in cost and time.
c. Business process covered*
The transmission and Receipt of Electronic Preferential of Origin.
d. Overall architecture and functionalities*
The data fields in a Certificate of Origin (CoO) shall be electronically shared by the exporting customs administration with the importing customs, as soon as the certificate is issued. This would facilitate faster clearance of imported goods.
