A Certificate of Origin (often abbreviated to CO) is a
document used in
international trade. It traditionally states from what
country the shipped
goods originate, but "originate" in a CO does not mean the country the goods are shipped from, but the country where there goods are actually made. This raises a definition problem in cases where less than 100% of the
raw materials and processes and
added value are not all from one country. An often used practice is that if more than 50% of the sales
price of the goods originate from one country, that country is acceptable as the country of origin (then the "national content" is more than 50%). In various international agreements, other percentages of national content are acceptable.
