Certificates of Origin

The Orange Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau (OCCVB) is excited to offer online Certificates of Origin through an affiliation with the American World Trade Chamber of Commerce (AWTCC).

A Certificate of Origin (CO) is an important international trade document attesting that goods in a particular export shipment are wholly obtained, produced, manufactured, or processed in a particular country.

COs also constitute a declaration by the exporter. Millions of COs are issued every year, facilitating trade around the world. Virtually every country in the world considers the origin of imported goods when determining the duty that will be applied to the goods or, in some cases, whether the goods may be legally imported at all. In addition, COs may be needed to comply with letters of credit, foreign customs requirements, or a buyer's request.

Completing your Certificate of Origin online through the OCCVB helps eliminate the likelihood of errors and reduces the cost. Also, key information is stored, allowing for repeat certificates to be created without the need for repetitive form filling.

Exporters and freight forwarders must register to access the Certificate of Origin program through a dedicated OCCVB web portal. Once the registration form is received, login credentials will be provided by members of our staff. Documents will bear the seal of AWTCC, which is registered with customs authorities worldwide.
