Changes to applying for a UK Certificate of Origin
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Please note that any UK Certificate of Origin application made from 1 April cannot be copied from an application made prior to this date due to algorithms in the background on the application systems that would not permit the automatic allocation of the new plain paper COO reference numbers. If you need any assistance please do not hesitate to contact the team on internationaltrade@cambscci.co.uk or telephone us on 01223 237414.
