Why Yemen 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.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Yemen 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 Yemen in New Delhi.
