CERTIFICATES OF ORIGIN
Certificates of Origin (CO) are an essential component of international trade. They confirm that the goods in a particular shipment have been wholly obtained, produced, manufactured or processed in a particular country.
COs may be requested by importing countries’ Customs Departments, importers, freight forwarders or banks.

WET STAMPED (MANUAL) CERTIFICATION
‘Wet-Stamped’ certification refers to the physical stamping of a document and is required by some Customs Authorities and recommended when documents are required to be ‘legalised’.
This service is available for:
Certificates of Free Sale or Manufacture
Certificates of Origin and related export documents for exports to: Algeria, Bahrain*, Cuba, Egypt*, Ethiopia*, Guatemala*, Iraq*, Jordan*, Kuwait*, Lebanon, Oman, Peru, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey*, Yemen and UAE*.
* These countries are known to accept electronically certified documents without issue, so it is worth checking if a wet-stamp is required.
For all other countries please apply online using the electronic certifying service.
**Please note if you request a document to be Wet Stamped, this can be picked up from our office or we can courier it to your preferred address.**
CERTIFICATE OF FREE SALE OR MANUFACTURE
