Certificate of origin for South Sudan: 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.
Companies dealing with South Sudan 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of South Sudan in New Delhi.
