Srinagar: The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce & Industry on Thursday informed that the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued a ‘Certificate of Origin’ (non-preferential) to exporters in Jammu & Kashmir.
In a statement issued here, KCCI said, “The Director General Foreign Trade (DGFT), has authorised it to issue Certificate of Origin (Non- preferential) to exporters in Jammu & Kashmir. The DGFT issued the Public Notice Enlistment vide No.38/2023 on 31st of January, 2024. The KCCI expresses its gratitude to the Director General of Foreign Trade Mr. Santosh Kumar Sarangi for reconsidering its earlier public Notice No 31/2023 dated 20-09-2023.”
It said that the process took KCCI four months of strenuous efforts to get the earlier decision of DGFT reviewed after fulfilling all the requirements.
It also said that the enlistment of KCCI as an authorised Chamber to issue the Certificates of Origin in Jammu & Kashmir is a morale booster for the exporters.
