Question 1

What does Certificate of Origin mean?

Accepted Answer

A certificate of origin (CO) is a document that certifies the country of manufacture of a product. Non-preferential certificates of origin are used for general customs purposes (anti-dumping determinations, import licensing, trade statistics). Preferential certificates of origin are required to claim reduced or zero duty rates under a free-trade agreement and must be issued or certified by an authorised body. Common preferential certificate formats include: EUR.1 movement certificate (used in EU FTAs and UK FTAs), Form A / GSP certificate (for Generalised System of Preferences), REX (Registered Exporter System in the EU — a self-certification system that replaces Form A), USMCA Certification of Origin (self-certification — no government form required). Importers must retain proof of preferential origin for at least 3–5 years after the claim and must be able to provide it on request by customs. If the claimed preference cannot be proven, customs may back-claim the full MFN duty.
