Ayush Export Promotion Council Can Now Issue Non-Preferential CoO
Under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2023, a new development empowers the Ayush Export Promotion Council (AYUSHEXCIL) to issue Non-Preferential Certificate of Origin (CoO). This simplifies export documentation for Indian AYUSH product manufacturers and exporters.
