1. What is a Certificate of Origin?
A certificate of origin is an essential document in international trade that certifies the country in which a product was manufactured. It is required by customs authorities in the importing country to determine the eligibility of the goods for tariff reductions or exemptions under preferential trade agreements. AusRoo Ship assists shippers in obtaining these certificates to ensure compliance with customs requirements and to take advantage of trade benefits.

3. Understanding Preferential Trade Policies
Preferential trade policies are agreements between countries that provide reduced tariffs or exemptions on certain goods to promote trade between those countries. These policies, such as Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), offer significant cost-saving opportunities for businesses involved in international shipping. AusRoo Ship helps clients understand which trade agreements apply to their shipments and how they can benefit from these policies.
4.The Importance of Certificates of Origin in Customs Clearance
Without a certificate of origin, your goods may face higher tariffs or delays during customs clearance. Customs authorities use this document to verify whether your products qualify for reduced tariffs under free trade agreements. At AusRoo Ship, we ensure that all the necessary documentation, including certificates of origin, is prepared correctly to prevent customs delays and additional costs.
