IMPORT & EXPORT · INDIA
An ECTA certificate of origin supports a preference claim for qualifying goods traded between India and Australia. It is not an annual company registration or export-council membership. Start with the goods, manufacturing history and buyer's request. LIQUETAX can organise the evidence and agreed application work; the authorised issuer and importing customs make their own decisions.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Map the buyer's request to ECTA goods-origin preparation.
List the applicable evidence questions and missing inputs.
Reconcile the pack for the relevant authorised issuer and current Indian eCoO route.
Share available certificate/status evidence and included follow-up actions.
Begin before the shipment and buyer's document deadline. Evidence preparation and issuer processing are different steps. A late or incorrect certificate needs the authorised procedure; do not assume that paying a fee guarantees retrospective issuance or automatic renewal.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamThis certificate concerns a preference claim for qualifying goods, not a blanket licence to export. Start with the buyer's requested treatment and the applicable origin rule.
References: DFAT: ECTA Chapter 4 — Rules of Origin · DFAT: ECTA Annex 4B — Product-specific origin rules
Chapter 4 provides 12 months from completion or issue for the certificate and limits it to a single importation, potentially covering several independently qualifying goods. It is not 12 months of company membership.

Do not infer permission from the treaty's future-review clause. Confirm the currently authorised proof-of-origin route and implementing instructions with the issuer before submission.

ECTA allows non-party invoicing subject to its conditions. Disclose the invoice issuer and reconcile the prescribed certificate information; invoicing location and manufacturing origin are different facts.

Potentially, if the consignment conditions are met. Explain the transit and handling, and retain the transport and customs-control evidence needed for the actual route.

No. Export-council membership is a separate question. This engagement concerns the goods-origin file and agreed certificate application, not council membership or company formation.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Product and preference | Identify the goods, tariff classification and intended import treatment. | Country of dispatch alone does not establish origin, and a certificate does not make every tariff line duty-free. |
| Manufacturing and inputs | Map producer records to the applicable general or product-specific origin rule. | Annex 4B distinguishes alternative rules from requirements that must be satisfied together. Do not select the easiest phrase and ignore the rest. |
| Invoice chain | Disclose the exporter, producer, buyer and any non-party invoice issuer. | Reconcile names, descriptions, quantities and invoice references before requesting certification. |
| Transport route | Record transit, storage and handling outside India and Australia. | Keep evidence needed for the consignment conditions, including customs control where applicable. |
