EC Certificates of Origin

The buyers (importers) usually require a Certificate of Origin to:

  • Meet customs requirements in the importing state
  • Meet 'quota' requirements imposed by the importing country
  • Comply with banking requirements or
  • Require one for other official and commercial reasons 

 In the UK, the officially designated authorities for the issue of EC Certificates of Origin are Chambers of Commerce. The service is available to all businesses in the UK. When applying for a Certificate of Origin, strict standard rules  must be complied with.
