Not quiteโ
With the ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ came into force from ๐ญ๐ฑ ๐๐๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฒ, a new Self-Certification Framework has been introduced for claiming preferential #Tariff treatment on eligible #Imports from the #UK.
The interesting part is the “ADDITIONAL LAYER OF AUTHENTICATION”.
A UK #Exporter or #Producer can self-certify the origin of the #Goods.
๐๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ๐:
-> The #OriginDeclaration must be submitted through the prescribed process.
-> #IndianCustoms authenticates the declaration against the information shared by #UKCustoms.
-> On successful authentication, a #UniqueReferenceNumber (#URN) is generated.
-> The importer must quote the URN in the relevant #BillofEntry.
So, the thought process should not be โ
“๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฟ๐๐๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ. ๐’๐ข ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐.” ๐
It is MORE…
Origin Declaration โ Authentication โ URN โ Preferential tariff claim
And there are a ๐๐๐ช ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐๐ก๐ง๐ฆ importers should keep on their CHECKLIST:
๐ Keep the #ICEGATE-registered email address updated and share it with the UK exporter.
๐ Ensure the Origin Declaration is properly authenticated before claiming the benefit.
๐ Quote the URN in the Bill of Entry.
๐ Keep track of the 12-month validity of the declaration.
๐ Goods already in transit or under #Customs control when #CETA came into force may also qualify for transitional treatment, subject to the prescribed conditions.
And ๐ข๐ก๐ ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ก๐ง ๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก:
Authentication establishes the “authenticity of the declaration”. It does not, by itself, establish that the goods satisfy the ๐ฅ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ข๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐ป. Those requirements continue to apply separately.
For hashtag#Businesses importing from the UK, this is therefore not merely a documentation change. It is a process change that needs to be built into the import #Workflow.
A little preparation before the #Shipment arrives can save a lot of questions after it does.
