Certificate of origin for Nicaragua: 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.
Customs brokers and banks in the Americas may ask for apostilled shipping documents for certain goods or payment terms.
Companies dealing with Nicaragua 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. Nicaragua accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
