Certificate of origin for Turkey: 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.
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.
In Turkey, a legalised certificate of origin is typically requested for customs clearance at the port of entry; it is also used 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. Turkey accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Turkey accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn Turkish translation made in Turkey; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.
