Certificates Of Origin

The Malta Chamber is authorised to process Certificates of Origin and to authenticate other documentation.

A Certificate of Origin confirms the ‘nationality’ of a product and serves as a declaration to satisfy customs or trade requirements. Certificates are mostly required for customs clearance procedures to determine duties or legitimacy of imports.  Certificates of Origin certify that goods in a shipment are wholly obtained, produced, manufactured or processed in a particular country. 

Certificates of Origin are processed electronically via this link to the certification site.  

In order to apply for a certificate users are required to register on the platform.  Once this is in order the account is activated and the user may apply for a certificate of origin

The following steps should be followed in order to complete the set-up of the account.
