UK-India CETA origin declaration

An origin declaration is a statement that confirms where goods originate. The exporter or producer must complete an origin declaration to show that the goods meet the CETA’s rules of origin. The declaration must be completed in English and sent to India for authentication before a claim for preferential tariff treatment can be made in India. 

You must use one of the origin declaration templates on this page. It is the same template, available in Excel or Microsoft Word file formats.  

The layout of the origin declaration template is different from the formats used under other UK free trade agreements. Complete the origin declaration electronically where possible, as you must convert it to a PDF before sending it for authentication.  

You can include multiple different goods in one origin declaration if they are part of the same shipment. For UK exports, an origin declaration may only apply to a single shipment. 

Only include goods that meet the rules of origin. Non-originating goods that are part of the same shipment do not need to be included in the origin declaration. 

Your origin declaration is valid for 12 months from the date of completion. The date of completion should be written in the format dd/mm/yyyy.  

Whether you use the Excel or Microsoft Word template – after completing the template you must convert it to PDF format before sending to India for authentication.
