Certificates of origin are essential trade documents that confirm where goods were produced.
A certificate of origin confirms that goods were produced, manufactured, or processed in a specific country. Customs authorities use this information to determine duty rates, apply preferential tariff treatment under trade agreements such as NAFTA, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, or ASEAN FTAs, and verify import eligibility.
When the certificate is issued in a language other than the importing country's official language, a certified translation is required.

Requirements vary by country and by the language of the issuing country. Major trading nations with non-English official languages, including Germany, France, China, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, and most of the Middle East, frequently require translated certificates when shipping to or from English-speaking countries. Many countries also require translation when claiming preferential duty rates under free trade agreements. Your freight forwarder or customs broker will confirm the specific requirements for your shipment.
These are separate requirements. A Chamber of Commerce endorsement authenticates that the certificate was issued by a legitimate authority in the country of origin. A certified translation renders the document in the required language. Some importing countries require both; others require only the translation. We provide the translation and Certificate of Accuracy; the endorsement must be obtained from the Chamber of Commerce in the country that issued the original certificate.
Standard certificates of origin are typically one to two pages and can be translated and certified quickly. For urgent shipments facing an imminent customs deadline, same-day service is available when orders are placed before noon. Contact us directly to confirm availability for your specific language pair and volume.
