Exporting

Export Documentation

Certificates of Origin – This is a document that can be used to satisfy your buyers that the products exported are wholly obtained or produced or manufactured in a particular country. Certain exports need export documents to be certified (authenticated) by a Chamber of Commerce.  The Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce provides a certification service for Certificates of Origin and other trade documents, including Certificates of Manufacture and Certificates of Free Sale. This is available Monday to Friday, 9am - 4pm.

Our new template is:

  • one template whether goods of New Zealand, foreign or mixed origin

Using the buttons below you can download the Nelson Tasman and Marlborough Chamber Certificate of Origin Templates and the Certificate of Origin Guide to help you fill in the template. All certificates must now be on the new template format introduced October 2021.
