Certificate of origin for Tunisia: 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 offices and banks across the Middle East routinely check that shipping documents carry stamps from the exporting country, and many will not release cargo or pay against a letter of credit until they do.
Companies dealing with Tunisia 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. Tunisia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
