The Instruction No. 11/2024-Customs issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs, addresses the verification of authenticity and genuineness of Certificate of Origin (CoO) issued by UAE Authority under the India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
