What is a Certificate of Origin?
Certificates of Origin (CO) may be required because of established Treaty arrangements,
varying duty rates, and preferential duty treatment dependent on the shipment’s origin.
The CO verifies the country in which the goods were manufactured. The commodity being
exported and its destination determine if the CO is required. The certificate of origin
might only be a small part of your export documentation, but an error in completing your
CO could lead to loss
What is a Free Trade Agreement?
Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) can help your company enter and compete more easily in
the global marketplace. Trade agreements help level the international playing field and
encourage foreign governments to adopt open and transparent rulemaking procedures, as
well as non-discriminatory laws and regulations. FTAs help strengthen business climates
by eliminating or reducing tariff rates, improving intellectual property regulations,
opening government procurement opportunities, easing investment rules, and much more.
