Overview

When you need a legalised certificate of origin in Yemen

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

  1. Confirm the requirement

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

  2. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    The certificate of origin is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  3. MEA attestation

    The Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi verifies the chamber's stamp and adds its attestation.

  4. Yemen Embassy legalisation

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

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

Avoid rejection

  • Preferential COOs under trade agreements usually do not need embassy legalisation; check your buyer's instruction first.
  • Check that the company name is spelt the same way on every document; the Yemen Embassy compares names across the set.
  • 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.
