COs also constitute a declaration by the exporter. With the introduction of this document, the importer in the country of destination may request preferential tariff treatment accorded to the goods. There are two certification schemes and within each particular treaty, it is established which of these two apply and how :<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Self-certification issued by exporter, producer or importer (as applicable)<\/li>\n<li>Controlled certification which is issued by an officially designated authority.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The countries of Central America have all negotiated individual and collective Free Trade Agreements with other countries or regions. It is very important to consider that adherence to the \u201cletter\u201d (form) of a Free Trade Agreement is key to maintaining its benefits and in the case of the certificates of origin, in almost every case, the actual format of the document is established as an integral part of the agreement and therefore, to be acceptable, it must comply 100% with the format of reference incorporated in the agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING CERTIFICATES OF ORIGIN<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Certificates of Origin (CO) are integral parts of the official agreement and therefore in many cases, there is a predetermined \u201cTemplate\u201d or \u201cFormat\u201d that has to be utilized. Failure to adhere to the \u201cexact\u201d template specification may result in the elimination of the preferential treatment for a particular consignment. It is also worthy to consider that a revision of a CO may occur several years after the importation of the consignment and therefore, the reimbursement of the exempted amount and \u00a0heavy fines may apply retro-actively if a CO is rendered invalid.
