What is a Certificate of Origin?
A Certificate of Origin (CoO) is a vital international trade document that certifies goods in a particular export shipment were wholly obtained, produced, manufactured, or processed in a particular country. It declares the "nationality" of the product and is required by many treaty agreements for preferential tariff treatment.
Types of Certificates of Origin
- Preferential CoO : For tariff reductions
- Non-Preferential CoO : For general trade purposes
- Electronic CoO : Digital certification
- Special CoO : For specific trade agreements
Certificates of Origin are typically issued by chambers of commerce, trade associations, or customs authorities, depending on the requirements of the importing country and the nature of the trade agreement.
Why is a Certificate of Origin Important?
- Tariff Preferences : Enables importers to claim reduced or zero tariff rates under free trade agreements.
- Customs Clearance : Facilitates faster customs clearance and reduces delays at borders.
- Trade Compliance : Ensures compliance with import/export regulations and trade agreements.
- Market Access : Required for entry into certain markets and for specific product categories.

- Exporters shipping goods internationally
- Manufacturers selling products abroad
- Trading companies handling international shipments
