Certificates of Origin
A Certificate of Origin is a document attesting that goods in a particular export shipment are wholly obtained, produced, manufactured or processed in a particular country (country of origin). Virtually every country in the world considers the origin of imported goods when determining what duty will be assessed on the goods or, in some cases, whether the goods may be legally imported at all.
A Certificate of Origin facilitates the movement of goods/shipments through customs. These trade documents are prepared by a number of Chambers in Ireland, including Waterford Chamber. Fees for the Certificates are as follows:
EU Certs
Members: €25 + VAT @ 21%
Non-Members: €35 + VAT @ 21%
Arab/Irish Certs
Members: €25 + VAT @ 21%
Non-Members: €35 + VAT @ 21%
These certificates are required for the following countries:
- People's Democratic Republic of Algeria
- Kingdom of Bahrain
- Republic of Iraq
- Republic of Djibouti
- Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
- State of Kuwait
- Republic of Lebanon

Rules to be observed regarding Arab-Irish Certificates of Origin
- All local Chambers must only issue and certify Arab-Irish Certificates of Origin for the 19 Arab countries that the Joint Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce represents.
- Although some exporters may insist, under no circumstances may a European Certificate of Origin be issued or certified for an Arab Country.
- Only Arab-Irish Certificates of Origin which Waterford Chamber has issued should only be certified by them i.e. they are not to be certified by another Chamber.
- Once the Arab-Irish certificate is authorised by Waterford Chamber, exporters must then forward it to the Arab Irish Chamber for certification.
- Waterford Chamber, on a quarterly basis, issues the JAICC with a list of companies who they issue Certificates of Origin to. With this list, the JAICC will know if exporters are using the Certificate of Origin correctly.
* Failure to have the Arab-Irish certificate certified by the Arab Chamber could cause shipment delays further down the line.
