Legalization of certificates of origin is a process in international trade that involves official confirmation by authorized bodies that the goods listed in the document actually originate from the country indicated on the certificate. At 3CARGO, as a customs agency with many years of experience, we comprehensively handle the process of legalizing origin documents, acting on behalf of our clients under appropriate authorizations.
We complete the legalization process by submitting applications directly to customs offices, along with complete documentation confirming the goods’ origin. Our services include preparing all necessary formalities, representing customs authorities, and coordinating the entire process. Authorized exporters with a permit for simplified issuance of certificates of origin are an exception, as they can complete some of the procedures independently.
Obtaining a certificate of origin requires a systematic approach and knowledge of applicable regulations. At 3CARGO, we manage the entire process on behalf of our clients, ensuring professional service at every stage.
Our team of specialists handles:
Paying the fees associated with issuing the certificate, which vary depending on the institution and the type of goods.

The legalization of documents—in this case, certificates of origin—refers to the official certification that the goods listed in a given document originate from the country indicated in that document. This certification is officially confirmed by authorized bodies, such as Customs and Fiscal Services (UCS) or a Chamber of Commerce. The application for the legalization of certificates of origin must be submitted in person at a customs office, accompanied by a complete set of attachments. A customs agency can perform this task on behalf of the client based on a power of attorney for representation before customs authorities. An exception is made for authorized exporters who have permission to issue certificates of origin in a simplified manner.
To obtain a certificate of origin, you need to follow several steps:
Verification process: After submitting the application, the institution will verify the documents. If everything is in order, you will receive the certificate of origin.

A.TR transport certificates are issued for goods exported to Türkiye that hold EU customs status.
The EUR.1 certificate is issued for goods that have preferential EU origin.
