A “certificate of origin” is a document used in international trade to certify that goods in a particular shipment were produced, manufactured, or processed in a specific country. Customs authorities use it to determine the eligibility of goods for customs purposes and to verify their country of origin.
It is worth noting that the Amman Chamber of Commerce issues certificates of origin for Jordanian agricultural and animal products, raw natural resources, foreign goods that are re-exported, and foreign goods purchased from the local market, subject to specific conditions.
Certificates of origin for Jordanian industrial products are also issued upon the exporter’s request, based on the original factory invoice certified by a chamber of industry and an original certificate of origin duly certified by a chamber of industry, proving that the goods are of Jordanian origin, in accordance with the provisions of Article (29) of the Jordanian Chambers of Commerce Law No. (45) of 2009 and the Instructions for Issuing Certificates of Origin for the year 2013.
