Certificate of Origin

What Is a Certificate of Origin?

A Certificate of Origin (CO) is an essential document used in international trade that verifies the country where goods were produced or manufactured. It serves as proof of the origin of the products, which is required by customs authorities for the import and export process. In logistics, this certificate ensures compliance with trade regulations, tariffs, and quotas. For beverage companies, a Certificate of Origin is particularly important when shipping internationally, as it helps facilitate customs clearance and ensures that products, such as alcoholic beverages or juices, meet the necessary legal requirements of both the exporting and importing countries.
