Certificate of Origin
A Certificate of Origin is an important international trade document that identifies the origin of the goods you’re exporting. It can be required for different reasons such as customs clearance in the buyer's country or payment via a Letter of Credit. So it’s vitally important that you submit the correct documentation.
