Digital Certification of Origin (COD) - National Confederation of Industry (CNI)
What is it?
The Brazil Digital Origin Certification System (Sistema COD Brasil) is an online origin certification tool available to exporting companies and customs clearance agents and operators throughout Brazil as part of the Brazilian foreign trade modernization and debureaucratization project
What is it for?
This online platform has been developed to allow entrepreneurs to generate certification of origin documents (invoice, producer statement, and the actual certificate of origin) from any computer connected to the internet. Using the COD System, red-tape costs and the time for issuing the required documents are greatly reduced and errors that could lead to additional work and costs are avoided
