Service Info
Certificate of Origin
Depending on commodity and destination, your export shipments may require a Certificate of Origin. If you are not sure whether one is needed, go to FedEx International Documentation® or call FedEx International Customer Service at 1.800.247.4747. You can also complete a Certificate of Origin online using FedEx Ship Manager® at fedex.com.
When using a Certificate of Origin:
- One original is required.
- For shipments to Canada and Mexico, use the NAFTA Certificate of Origin if the goods qualify as North American Origin Goods.
- The Certificate of Origin contains much of the same information as the Commercial Invoice; the descriptions and amounts on the two documents must be consistent.
- Once completed, the Certificate of Origin must be notarized and then certified by your local chamber of commerce. (The NAFTA Certificate of Origin does not require these steps.)
- FedEx can prepare a Certificate of Origin for U. S. shippers for a fee. For more information, call 1.866.685.7001.
- All textiles shipped to the European Union require a Certificate of Origin.
