Certificate of Origin documents -

– for goods being shipped overseas

Oftentimes, organizations, importers, banks or freight forwarders will request a certificate of origin on goods ready for exportation. The certificate of origin attests that such goods have been wholly obtained, manufactured, processed or produced in a particular country. The certificate usually accompanies your goods across international borders. It is recommended that the certificate be authenticated by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. The certificate will contain various details such as the identification of the goods being shipped, the country the goods are being shipped to, the number and frequency of shipments and the value of the goods. The certificate should be sworn in front of a notary public before being authenticated by the Chamber of Commerce. Here are some steps you should follow when completing your Certificate of Origin:
