Arab Irish
Certificates of Origin 

The JA-ICC (Joint Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce) is responsible for the checking, certification and legalisation of commercial documents for the Arab markets, and the Arab-Irish Certificate of Origin should be used for the 19 Arab countries represented by JA-ICC.

​

The Arab-Irish Certificate of Origin is issued by the JA-ICC directly to its members and is also distributed through the local Chamber network throughout Ireland for non members. JA-ICC Certificates of Origin must be certified by the JA-ICC following completion by the exporter. When there is a requirement for certificates and other documents to also be legalised, the JA-ICC will arrange this with the relevant Arab embassy. The Certificate of Origin is required for the following reasons:

 

•    It is a legislative requirement of the importing Arab country

•    To comply with Letter of Credit or banking requirements

•    It is proof of origin for importer

•    To meet customs authorities requirements

 

​

Certificates of Origin can be accepted in Arabic and French.

If your certificate is in either of these languages, you must provide an English translation.

​

For further information on the import requirements of the Arab states represented by the JA-ICC, please refer to the JA-ICC website: www.jaicc.ie

Non-members: Certificates of Origin can be purchased directly from your local Chamber of Commerce.

All documents must be stamped by your local Chamber before submitting to the JA-ICC.
