Overview

Certificate of origin for Botswana: 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.

Many African customs authorities and banks ask for legalised commercial invoices and certificates of origin, especially for shipments paid by letter of credit.

In Botswana, a legalised certificate of origin is typically requested for customs clearance at the port of entry; it is also used for payment under a letter of credit and 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. Botswana accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

    The certificate of origin is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  4. MEA apostille

Avoid rejection

  • 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.
  • Consignee name, invoice number and quantities must be identical on every document.
  • Legalise the COO and the invoice together; embassies compare them line by line.
