EC Certificates of Origin will be requested by your customer for the use of Customs Clearance, for payment against Letters of Credit or simply to meet “quota requirements” of the importing country.
Applications for an EC Certificates of Origin must always include back up documents to assist us in processing the document.
Your customer may also ask for your Commercial Invoice to be stamped – this is not a problem, we simply ask you to ensure that the Invoice bears an original signature which matches the Signatory Sheet lodged with us. Please ensure that you tell us if the Invoice requires authentication otherwise we will simply use this as back-up.
