A Certificate of Origin is a trade document that may be used to satisfy your buyers that the products exported are wholly obtained or produced or manufactured in a particular country. Customs authorities in certain countries require a Certificate of Origin as verification that the goods being imported into that country originate from the country claimed (e.g. New Zealand) to determine the applicable tariff.
A copy of the standard Certificate of Origin form issued by the Employers’ Chamber may be viewed and downloaded as a word or excel document.

We also certify a wide variety of other trade documents, including Commercial Invoices, and any other documents that may be required by the exporter or the buyer (eg. a packing slip, Certificate of Free Sale, Certificate of Manufacture), or required for overseas customs and/or health authorities (eg. health certificate, Halal certificate).
China Free Trade Agreement Certificates of Origin
From 1st October 2008, exporters seeking tariff preference under the NZ-China Free Trade Agreement will be required to have a China Free Trade Agreement Certificate of Origin accompany their consignment.
