Electronic certificates of origin allow importers to claim preferential tariff treatment, duty relief, and compliance with free trade agreements by providing digitally certified proof of where goods were manufactured or substantially processed. Authorized chambers of commerce or government bodies issue them and transmit them electronically to trading partners and customs authorities, replacing their paper equivalents. The digital format speeds up border authentication and significantly reduces the risk of fraudulent claims. A critical distinction exists between non-preferential certificates of origin – serving general trade documentation purposes without directly affecting duty rates – and preferential origin proofs such as EUR.1 movement certificates or statements on origin under the Registered Exporter (REX) system, which determine the applicable tariff.
