Why Cote d'Ivoire asks for a legalised agency agreement
An agency or distribution agreement appoints a local company abroad to import, register or sell your products. Many countries require it to be registered with a ministry before the agent can act, and they accept it only once legalised. The agency or distribution agreement is executed between your Indian company and the foreign agent, signed by your authorised signatory.
Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.
Companies dealing with Cote d'Ivoire are most often asked for a legalised agency agreement during registering a commercial agent or distributor, as well as for product registration by the local agent and exclusive territory appointments.
A agency agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Cote d'Ivoire in New Delhi.
