Certificate of Origin Software

A certificate of origin states the country or origin associated with goods in a shipment. Requirements and acceptable formats can vary by destination, customer, chamber, treaty or government authority.

What it is for

Keep this document connected to the shipment.

The document is used when a transaction calls for a statement about where goods originate. Some shipments need a general certificate, while others require a specific preferential trade-agreement certification or third-party validation.

Origin data can be kept alongside the shipment and reused on related paperwork, while the flexible template can grow with the number of products.

Information the document can include

Exporter and consignee information
Shipment and invoice references
Product descriptions
Country-of-origin statements
Quantity and package details
Certification text
Authorized-signature fields
Additional notes or references
Why use reusable software?

Reduce repeated typing between related documents.

The same shipper, consignee, products, quantities and references often appear in several places. Shipping Documents Pro keeps the shipment as the source and uses it to prepare multiple document layouts.

Save recurring parties and products
Duplicate a prior shipment as a starting point
Use dynamic rows instead of fixed form-image coordinates
Preview, print or save finished paperwork as PDF
