What is a CO – Certificate of origin?
A certificate of origin (Also known as C/O or CO) is a document which attests that the product listed in the document has met certain criteria to be considered as originating in a particular country. A certificate of origin is prepared and completed by the seller of the goods, and may be subject to official certification by an authorized third party. In most cases that third party is the local chamber of commerce. Certain countries require a certificate of origin when importing a product to justify the product’s eligibility for entry and/or its entitlement to preferential treatment (duties)
