The Auckland Business Chamber makes document certification fast and simple.


Are Shipping disruptions Affecting you?

The recurrent changes to shipping and flight schedules are impacting export documentation.  We recommend that exporters apply for Certificates of Origin (CO) after a vessel has sailed. This will ensure the CO application is accurate and will not need to be replaced. A NZ China FTA CO number is required to be provided the export entry. This can be added by way of an amendment after departure. For flights we  recommend exporters apply for a CO once the flight is confirmed and goods ready to load.  Certifying for flights is given priority to ensure no delays .
