Overview

When you need a legalised certificate of origin in Vietnam

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.

Importers across Asia increasingly verify origin and value documents before clearance, and some still ask for paper documents with embassy stamps.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Vietnam 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Vietnam in New Delhi.

In our processing experience, Indian commercial documents for Vietnam go through Vietnam Embassy legalisation, even though personal and educational documents can now be apostilled.

Process

Step-by-step: certificate of origin attestation for Vietnam

  1. Confirm the requirement

    Share the certificate of origin and the instructions you received from Vietnam. We check signatures, names and dates before you courier anything.

  2. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the certificate of origin.

  3. Ministry of External Affairs

    The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the certificate of origin, which the Vietnam Embassy requires before it will legalise it.

  4. Vietnam Embassy legalisation

    The Embassy of Vietnam in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.

  5. Back to you

    The finished certificate of origin is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Vietnam.

What to send us

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

Avoid rejection

  • Consignee name, invoice number and quantities must be identical on every document.
  • Preferential COOs under trade agreements usually do not need embassy legalisation; check your buyer's instruction first.
  • Legalise the COO and the invoice together; embassies compare them line by line.
  • Check that the company name is spelt the same way on every document; the Vietnam Embassy compares names across the set.
