What is a Certificate of Origin?
A certificate of origin (CO) is a document used in international trade to certify goods made in the country from which they are exported from. A CO is completed by the exporter and certified by a recognized issuing body – in the Kingdom of Cambodia’s case, Ministry of Commerce (MOC), attesting that the goods in a particular export shipment have been produced, manufactured or processed in a particular country.
For a CO to be valid, it must be signed by the exporter and countersigned by MOC.
Preferential and Non-preferential COs
Non-preferential COs see goods that do not benefit from any preferential treatment and do not emanate from bilateral or multilateral free trade agreements (FTA).
Preferential COs attest that goods in a particular shipment are of a certain origin under the definitions of a particular bilateral or multilateral FTA. This certificate is required by a country’s customs authority in deciding whether the imports should benefit from preferential treatment in accordance with special trading areas or customs unions such as the European Union, ASEAN or the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) or before anti-dumping taxes are enforced.
