Apostille for Exporters
Exporters most often need commercial invoices, packing lists, sales contracts and certificates of origin apostilled. These go through CCPIT commercial certification first, then receive the Apostille from a provincial Foreign Affairs Office.
Key Points
- Commercial documents go through CCPIT certification before the Apostille
- Certificates of Origin are issued by CCPIT or customs
- Invoices and contracts must match the shipment exactly
- Translation is required for non-English destinations
- Batch submissions reduce per-document cost
Legal Basis
Hague Apostille Convention; CCPIT commercial certification rules.
