Why Mali asks for a legalised certificate of conformity (COC)

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.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Mali usually ask for a legalised certificate of conformity (COC) for customs clearance under conformity programmes, product standards compliance or 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 Embassy of Mali in New Delhi.
