The Certificate of Origin (CO) is a vital international trade document certifying the country where goods were manufactured or produced. This certification significantly impacts import duties, customs clearance processes, and compliance with trade agreements. Angkut Logistics helps businesses manage this crucial documentation efficiently, streamlining import and export operations.
Why is a Certificate of Origin Important?
1. Reduced Import Duties
Goods imported under free trade agreements (FTAs) often qualify for reduced or waived import duties, provided they have a valid CO.
