Certificate of conformity (COC) for Hong Kong: what and why
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.
Importers across Asia increasingly verify origin and value documents before clearance, and some still ask for paper documents with embassy stamps.
In Hong Kong, a legalised certificate of conformity (COC) is typically requested for customs clearance under conformity programmes; it is also used for product standards compliance and government and project tenders.
A certificate of conformity (COC) issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Hong Kong accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
