Routes under PVoC Schemes for obtaining CoC.
There are three (3) routes under which importers can obtain certification of their imports. These routes are as follows:

Under this route, the registration of products/exports is not required. Such products are tested or inspected prior to shipment and thereafter the CoC is issued.

Under this route, products are required to be registered. Random testing of products and random pre-shipment inspection are effected before the CoC is issued

Exports under this route require licensing which is reviewed from time to time. Products are frequently tested at random before the CoC is issued to the exporter.
