A certificate of origin is an official international trade document certifying that products in a shipment were produced, manufactured, or processed in a specific country.

 

Customs authorities utilise these certificates to assess tariffs, verify origin, and determine product eligibility.

 

The ACC issues certificates of origin for Jordanian agricultural, livestock, and raw natural resource products, foreign re-exports, and foreign goods purchased locally under specific regulatory conditions.

 

It also issues certificates for Jordanian industrial products upon the exporter's request, based on certified factory invoices and industrial chamber documentation in accordance with Article 29 of the 2009 Jordan Chambers of Commerce Bylaw and the 2013 Certificate of Origin Instructions.
