What is a Certificate of Origin?

A Certificate of Origin (CO) is an international trade document that explicitly certifies the country in which a product was manufactured, produced, or processed. It is required by customs authorities to evaluate tariffs, trade agreements, and regulatory restrictions.

📉

Tariff Reductions

Enables exporters and importers to benefit from preferential duty rates under bilateral or multilateral free trade agreements.

Customs Compliance

Ensures shipments clear customs smoothly without costly delays, verifying compliance with trade quotas and anti-dumping laws.

🏛️

Chamber Attestation

Officially verified and stamped by authorized local chambers of commerce to guarantee absolute legal validity abroad.

Types of Certificates of Origin

Depending on your trade destination and agreements, you will require one of two primary categories.

Standard

Non-Preferential CO

Also known as an ordinary certificate. It states the country of origin of the goods without granting preferential tariff reductions. Used for standard commercial compliance and trade statistics.

  • Required for general international shipments
  • Issued via local Chambers of Commerce
  • Validates country-of-manufacture declarations
Special Trade

Preferential CO

Used when trading between countries that have established a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) like the USMCA. Allows the importer to qualify for reduced or eliminated customs duties.

  • Unlocks tax and duty savings
  • Requires strict regional value content rules
  • Tied to specific bilateral/multilateral pacts
