In international tile trade, paperwork matters as much as product quality. One document that plays a decisive role is the certificate of origin, which confirms where tiles are manufactured and determines the import duty applied at customs. For importers, developers, and distributors, this document directly affects cost, compliance, and clearance speed. Ramirro Ceramica, a globally active tile manufacturer and exporter, structures its export processes around accurate origin documentation to support smooth, transparent, and compliant tile trade across international markets.

Certificate of Origin Explained

When tiles cross international borders, customs needs clear proof of where they are made. A Certificate of Origin (COO) is the official document that confirms the country in which the tiles were manufactured, helping customs classify the shipment correctly.

A Certificate of Origin is not an invoice or a packing list, and it is not optional. Customs authorities use it to apply the right import rules, decide the correct duty, and verify whether the shipment qualifies for benefits under trade agreements.

Tiles are sensitive to origin checks because duties and trade benefits change from country to country. The same tile can attract different duty rates based solely on its verified origin, which is why customs relies on the Certificate of Origin to assess duty, FTA or CEPA eligibility, and any safeguard measures.
