Overview

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.

Process

The Tunisia process for an Indian certificate of origin

  1. Send us a scan first

    WhatsApp a scan of the certificate of origin and tell us who in Tunisia will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.

  2. Notary in India

    The signatory's signature or the certified copy is notarised in India, as the chamber and MEA require for this document.

  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

  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • Certified Arabic or French translation, if the authority in Tunisia asks (we arrange it)
  • Matching commercial invoice and packing list
  • Signed original certificate of origin
  • Bill of lading or airway bill copy

Avoid rejection

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