Why do I need a Certificate of Origin?
A Certificate of Australian Origin is often required:
- To export certain goods from Australia
- For customs clearance at the port of delivery
- As stipulated in a letter of credit.
The certificates are used for customs clearance at the destination country. In accordance with some free trade agreements, Certificates of Origin are required as part of the application for preferential tariffs. For example, Australian exports must be registered under the Thailand-Australia Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA) and accompanied by a TAFTA Certificate of Origin in order to qualify for the preferential rates.
