Why Venezuela asks for a legalised certificate of origin
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 brokers and banks in the Americas may ask for apostilled shipping documents for certain goods or payment terms.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Venezuela usually ask for a legalised certificate of origin for customs clearance at the port of entry, payment under a letter of credit or 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. Venezuela accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
