Overview

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

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.

Companies dealing with Japan 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 notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Japan accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

How to get a certificate of conformity (COC) apostilled for Japan

  1. Confirm the requirement

    Share the certificate of conformity (COC) and the instructions you received from Japan. We check signatures, names and dates before you courier anything.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the certificate of conformity (COC) or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the certificate of conformity (COC).

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.
