A Certificate of Origin (COO) is an important trade document used in international shipments. It certifies the country where the goods have been manufactured or produced. Customs authorities across the world rely on this certificate to verify the origin of goods before allowing them to enter their country.
Example:
An Indian company named ABC Electricals Pvt. Ltd. exports LED Lights to a buyer in Dubai (UAE). Before the goods are shipped, the buyer asks for a Certificate of Origin to confirm that the LED lights are manufactured in India.
