Export Documentation (Certificates of Origin)

Certain exports need export documents to be certified (authenticated) by a Chamber of Commerce. South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce provides a certification service for Certificates of Origin and some other related trade documents.

Most often certification of export documents is required for exports to some Middle Eastern, Latin American or Asian countries, or if your products are food or health type products, or if a developing country has a special concession arrangement, or there is a free trade agreement between New Zealand and the importing country.

Certificates of Origin

A Certificate of Origin is a document to certify the place of growth, production or manufacture of goods. It is required when exporting to specific countries, when requested by a consignee for customers clearance, or when stipulated in a Letter of Credit. Certificates of Origin are processed electronically through eCertify or hard copies can be stamped at the Chamber of Commerce office.

The South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce requires all exporters using our certification process, to complete an Indemnity Form prior to any documents being authorised. Template forms are below. To register for electronic certification please contact the Chamber office for information regarding this enquiries@scchamber.org.nz
