Following the entry into force of the UK-India Free Trade Agreement on the 15 July 2026, please note that UK exporters claiming preferential tariff treatment for goods exported to India must use an origin declaration completed by the exporter or producer.

This is a self-certification process which must not be stamped, certified or endorsed by UK Issuing Bodies.

HMRC guidance confirms that UK producers/exporters intending to complete origin declarations must register with HMRC. For each consignment, the exporter must complete the Origin Declaration Template and send it to both the customs authority in India and the importer of record in India.

Please see the relevant GOV.UK guidance.
