How do I apply for an ordinary/non-preferential certificate of origin (COO) to certify the Singapore Origin of my goods, if I intend to export to the US without the USSFTA?
Please note that Singapore Customs does not require you to obtain an ordinary/non-preferential COO for exports to the US. For exporting goods to the US, you will need to comply with Singapore's export requirements, including obtaining the relevant Customs export permits and checking if the goods you intend to export are controlled goods subject to restrictions by Competent Authorities (CAs) in Singapore. Thereafter, you may follow the permit application procedures via TradeNet.
If you wish to obtain documentation to attest to the origin of your goods as Singapore Origin, you may apply for an ordinary/ non-preferential COO through Singapore Customs, or any of the five authorised organisations* through their respective websites. You may wish to refer to Singapore Customs’ website on origin documentation for detailed application procedures and requirements.
* The five authorised organisations are: a) Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry; b) Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry; c) Singapore International Chamber of Commerce; d) Singapore Malay Chamber of Commerce and Industry; and e) Singapore Manufacturing Federation.
