Certificate of Origin (C/O) Application Service – Obtain Your Goods’ Origin Certification
1. Introduction to the Certificate of Origin (C/O) Application Service
The C/O application service, also known as the Certificate of Origin issuance service, is a crucial solution supporting import-export businesses. This essential document enables goods to benefit from preferential tariffs under free trade agreements and ensures compliance with import regulations.
Real Logistics takes pride in offering professional C/O services, optimizing both time and costs for businesses engaged in international trade.
2. Important Updates on C/O Issuance Procedures from March 1, 2025
From March 1, 2025, the Da Nang Regional Import-Export Management Office (QLXNK) will cease operations. As a result, electronic C/O applications (forms D, E, AK, VK, AJ, AANZ, AHK, RCEP, S, VC, VJ, VN-CU, and CPTPP) will automatically be redirected to the Hanoi Regional QLXNK for review and approval. Businesses should note this change to avoid disruptions in their C/O application process.
For fast and accurate C/O applications without hassle, Real Logistics is a trusted partner, handling the entire process efficiently while ensuring cost optimization.
