Certified Declaration of Origin

What is a Certified Declaration of Origin?

Many customs measures relating to goods being imported into a country, in particular those relating to tariff & public health, depend on this certificate for their administration of the origin of the goods.
The increasing number and the complexities of the Free Trade Agreements (FTA's) has emphasised the importance of correctly identifying the origin of imports. Such evidence is the Certificate of Origin & Certified Declaration of Origin.

While the Certificate of Australian Origin is applicable for goods originating from Australia, the Certified Declaration Origin is applicable for goods originating from another country. These are goods originally imported in Australia and then re-exported to another export market.

Why do I need a Certified Declaration of Origin?

Certified Declaration of Origin verifies that the goods were manufactured outside of Australia and can be used for customs clearance at the port of destination.

The Certified Declaration is per shipment document.
