What is a Certificate of Origin?
It is an export document declaring the origin of the goods. Customs authorities use it to apply the correct duty and to verify origin claims. It is distinct from a Certificate of Conformity, which attests to standards compliance.
When do I need one for auto parts?
Many destinations require a Certificate of Origin for parts imports; some trade arrangements use it for preferential duty. Confirm your country's requirement at RFQ stage. See common import documents.
