The BUYER often requires THE SELLER to provide a valid certificate of origin to prove that the origin of the imported goods is in the other contracting country in order to obtain the corresponding tax rate treatment.

According to their trade policies, countries in the world, in order to protect their industrial production and the needs of international trade competition, often impose restrictions on some goods and formulate some measures to control the quantity of imported goods, such as import quota, license system, anti-dumping and countervailing system. In order to implement these control systems, it is necessary to first determine which country the goods are imported from, then determine whether the goods are subject to import quantity restrictions, whether import licenses are required, whether quotas are written off and anti-dumping, countervailing duties are imposed... Certificate of origin has become an important tool to implement these systems.
