When obtaining a certificate of origin in entrepot trade, first of all, clarify the requirements of the final destination country of the goods for the certificate of origin. Different countries may require different types of certificates of origin, such as the General Certificate of Origin CO, the Generalized System of Preferences Certificate of Origin FORM A, etc.
In terms of document preparation, usually basic documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists and copies of bills of lading need to be provided. If third-party trade is involved, documents such as entrepot contracts may also need to be provided.
In terms of the operation procedure, generally, apply to the local China Council for the Promotion of International Trade or the Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. If it is handled through an agent, find a professional and reliable institution like Zhongshitong. Zhongshitong is familiar with the handling requirements of various certificates of origin and can assist in preparing documents and improve the handling efficiency. Meanwhile, note that the information on the certificate of origin should be consistent with that on other documents such as customs declarations and bills of lading to avoid discrepancies that may cause customs clearance difficulties.
