Overview

Certificate of origin for Belgium: what and why

The certificate of origin (COO) states the country where your goods were produced. Customs in the importing country uses it to apply duties, check restrictions and clear the cargo. The non-preferential COO is the version that is usually legalised. Non-preferential certificates of origin are issued by authorised agencies, including Indian chambers of commerce, through the DGFT's online certificate of origin platform.

European buyers rarely need legalised shipping documents for routine trade, but authorities and banks may ask for them in tenders, disputes or special import regimes.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Belgium usually ask for a legalised certificate of origin for customs clearance at the port of entry, payment under a letter of credit or import duty assessment.

A certificate of origin issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Belgium accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Process

Step-by-step: certificate of origin apostille for Belgium

  1. Send us a scan first

    WhatsApp a scan of the certificate of origin and tell us who in Belgium will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.

  2. Notary in India

    The signatory's signature or the certified copy is notarised in India, as the chamber and MEA require for this document.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the certificate of origin.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Back to you

    The finished certificate of origin is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Belgium.

What to send us

  • Signed original certificate of origin
  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • Matching commercial invoice and packing list
  • Bill of lading or airway bill copy

Avoid rejection

  • Consignee name, invoice number and quantities must be identical on every document.
  • Preferential COOs under trade agreements usually do not need embassy legalisation; check your buyer's instruction first.
  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
  • Legalise the COO and the invoice together; embassies compare them line by line.
