China Certificate of Origin – What An Importer Should Know

Certificate of Origin, also known as C/O or CO, is a shipping document which is used for certification that the products exported are wholly obtained, produced or manufactured in a particular Country.

Why important?

This shipping paper is intended solely to prove the origin of goods in order to satisfy customs or trade requirements. Now it can be served as:

Reference for trade statistics
Evidence of goods` inner quality or settlement of exchange
Important tool for deciding on tariff treatment

Most countries now are applying different customs duty rate upon imported commodities from different countries. In the specific conditions, import countries will provide different tariff treatment according to the C/O. While in some cases, tariff duty rates can make up a large part of the total laned cost.

When needed?

Certificates of Origin should only be issued when they are actually needed, for example, in the following circumstances:

To meet customs requirements in the importing process
The customer/buyer/importer (consignee) requires it
To meet `quota` or statistical requirements imposed by the importing country
To comply with the banking or trade finance requirements ( L/C, letters of credit)

Check with your local Customs authority to see if you`ll benefit from getting a proper C/O. If yes, request CEP Team apply it for you. It`s an option at extra cost

Attention: For some countries such as Egypt/Saudi Arabia/Syria, a C/O is a must, no matter whether you can benefit from the duty discount.
