Why Chad asks for a legalised certificate of origin
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 Chad, 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Chad in New Delhi.
