The online system offers several advantages, including faster processing times, reduced paperwork, and improved transparency.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Exporters and issuing agencies can access detailed guidance on registration and online application submission at <a href="https://coo.dgft.gov.in">https://coo.dgft.gov.in</a>.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Additionally, the authorized issuing agencies are urged to actively sensitize their exporter communities about the platform's benefits and encourage them to start using it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><em><strong>(KNN Bureau)</strong></em></span></p> 36041 https://knnindia.co.in/news/newsdetails/sectors/mandatory-e-filing-of-non-preferential-coo-extended-till-dec-2024 2023-12-27 13:31:15 knnindia.co.in
