Do Certificates Ever Have to be Processed Manually?

Sometimes, at the request of importers both EU or Arab Irish Certificates may have to be processed manually. The best procedure for this eventuality is:

  • Purchase the blank certificate of origin.
  • Fill in all the necessary details (there are instructions for completing the certificate on the back of the pink copy of the EU certificate and blue copy of the Arab Irish certificate).
  • When the information has been properly entered then the pink copy of the EU certificate and the blue and green copies of the Arab Irish certificate are signed by one of your authorised signatories and the original 3 or 4 part certificate is sent in to the Chamber, along with any extra documents your customer requires, to be stamped.
  • All Arab Irish certificates submitted for stamping must be accompanied by the relevant commercial invoice signed by one of your authorised signatories. If you do not need this to be stamped then please mark it ‘DCC records only’.
