When you need a legalised certificate of origin in North Macedonia
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.
Companies dealing with North Macedonia 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. North Macedonia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
