A Certificate of Origin is an important international trade document, required by foreign governments, attesting that goods in a particular export shipment are wholly obtained, produced, manufactured or processed in a particular country. A Certificate of Origin must be signed by the exporter, notarized, and then validated by a designated agency. Since 1898, chambers of commerce have been recognized by government and customs officials as competent authorities to issue a Certificate of Origin.
