EXPORT DOCUMENTATION

Letterkenny Chamber is officially authorised by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation and Chambers Ireland to issue and certify export documentation.

Certificates of Origin
Some countries request a Certificate of Origin with imports. This document proves the place of growth, production, or manufacture of goods.

The type of Certificate required varies according to the destination of the goods:

  • Arab-Irish Certificate of Origin is issued for countries that are Member States of the Arab League  
  • European Union Certificate of Origin is used for the majority of other countries.
