What Indian exporters are collecting record certificates of origin (CoOs)—over 721,000 this year—yet shipments to some key markets are slipping. Why? A CoO proves your goods qualify for tariff breaks under free trade agreements, but as trade experts point out, paperwork alone doesn’t sell products. Competitiveness, demand, and pesky non-tariff barriers matter more. The government isn’t ignoring the mismatch. With US tariffs biting—India faces the steepest at 50%—policy makers are redrawing the export playbook. Think closer engagement with trade partners, awareness drives for exporters, and even dedicated officers in embassies to scout opportunities. The goal? Make every CoO count in real trade flows. But can India double exports to FTA partners as planned—or are exporters too weighed by supply chain hurdles and shifting demand? After all, while exports to Australia and the UAE are inching up, ASEAN shipments fell despite a higher number of CoOs. Read the full report by Dhirendra Kumar.
