Overview

When you need a legalised certificate of conformity (COC) in the Gambia

A certificate of conformity (COC) confirms that goods meet the technical standards of the importing country. Several countries run conformity programmes that require a COC before customs releases the cargo. A certificate of conformity is issued by an approved inspection or testing agency, often under the importing country's own conformity programme.

Many African customs authorities and banks ask for legalised commercial invoices and certificates of origin, especially for shipments paid by letter of credit.

Companies dealing with the Gambia are most often asked for a legalised certificate of conformity (COC) during customs clearance under conformity programmes, as well as for product standards compliance and government and project tenders.

A certificate of conformity (COC) issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of the Gambia in New Delhi.
