Overview

Certificate of origin for Fiji: 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.

Importers in Oceania occasionally ask for apostilled or legalised shipping documents, mainly for regulated goods.

Companies dealing with Fiji are most often asked for a legalised certificate of origin during customs clearance at the port of entry, as well as 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. Fiji accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Process

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

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the certificate of origin and any list your buyer or authority in Fiji gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the certificate of origin or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  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. Tracked return

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.

What to send us

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

Avoid rejection

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