What are certificates of authorization?

If you’re importing goods that contain intellectual property, such as brands, images or characters, you may need proof that your manufacturer has made these goods with the appropriate permission.

Certificates of authorization are often in the form of letters from the owners of the intellectual property rights. If you don’t provide a certificate, your goods may be confiscated by customs, and you could be fined.
