The Department of Commerce has adopted the solution successfully and rapidly.


I would also like to commend the Department of Commerce and ITC teams for their continuous support throughout the development of the system.


This recognition is not just a testament to our hard work but also a milestone in advancing government services.”

The Electronic Certificate of Origin system has introduced a revolutionary approach to issuing certificates, offering a seamless end-to-end digitalization process that is setting new standards for efficiency and effectiveness.


The system was implemented during the ‘Trade Facilitation for SMEs in Sri Lanka’, a project felicitated by the International Trade Centre (ITC) and GIZ with funding from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development in Germany (BMZ).

Key stakeholders have witnessed a multitude of benefits from this innovative system, including reduced paperwork, faster processing times, for Digital Payments, LPOPP, and signatures and enhanced data accuracy.
