Certificate of originThe certificate of origin is a document that contains information on where the imported or exported product originated. There are currently two types of certificate of origin in the Russian Federation.
The permissive document, issued under the form "ST-1", is issued to the applicant who exports products to the CIS countries. Without this document, it will not be possible to cross the customs control point.
Form "A" certification is required for manufacturers exporting to the European Union, Macedonia, Montenegro, Turkey, USA and Canada.
Form "A" certification is required for products specified in special lists approved by the legislation of the countries to which supplies are made. To obtain a certificate of origin, the applicant will have to undergo a series of tests, after which a document will be issued for the delivery of the product.
When exporting steel and fur products to the European Union, the entrepreneur will have to draw up a special certificate of origin.
In some cases, the certificate of origin can be valid for one year and the applicant only needs to undergo the examination once in order to obtain the certificate of origin.
