When you need a legalised certificate of conformity (COC) in New Zealand
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 in Oceania occasionally ask for apostilled or legalised shipping documents, mainly for regulated goods.
In New Zealand, 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. New Zealand accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
