Why Oman asks for a legalised certificate of conformity (COC)
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.
Customs offices and banks across the Middle East routinely check that shipping documents carry stamps from the exporting country, and many will not release cargo or pay against a letter of credit until they do.
Companies dealing with Oman 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. Oman accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Oman accepts the MEA apostille, so commercial documents no longer need Oman Embassy legalisation.
