Certificate of Origin

A Certificate of Origin is an important international trade document that certifies that the goods listed therein were manufactured, produced, or processed in Trinidad and Tobago. It serves as formal proof of the origin of the products and is a key requirement for clearing customs in many countries.

This certificate plays a critical role in ensuring that our products meet the conditions outlined in various trade agreements, including those under CARICOM, the European Union Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), and other bilateral or multilateral agreements. When presented to customs authorities in the importing country, it may entitle the buyer to preferential duty rates or even duty-free access, depending on the agreement in place.

In Trinidad and Tobago, Certificates of Origin are typically issued by authorized bodies such as exporTT, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, or the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce. This document confirms that our products comply with the rules of origin and are eligible for the benefits of preferential trade access.

By providing this Certificate of Origin, we affirm our commitment to quality, transparency, and compliance with international trade standards. It is a guarantee to our regional and international partners that the goods they are receiving are genuinely Made in Trinidad and Tobago.
