Certification is the process of confirming the conformity of goods, services, management systems or professionals with established standards and requirements. This process is carried out by accredited certification bodies that independently assess and verify the quality and safety of products or services.
Purpose of Certification:
Quality Assurance: Ensures that products or services meet established quality standards.
Safety: Confirms that goods are safe for use and meet regulatory requirements.
Legal Compliance: Ensures compliance with laws and regulations governing specific industries.
Document preparation
Successful certification requires the right set of documents. We prepare all necessary customs and transportation documents, including invoices, packing lists and certificates. This ensures timely completion of all procedures and minimizes the risks of delays.
Product Certification:
Assessment and confirmation of compliance of goods with established standards and requirements.
Stages of certification:
Preparation: Collection and preparation of all necessary documents and materials for certification.
Audit and Verification: Conduct inspections, tests and evaluations to verify compliance with standards.
Certificate issuance: Upon successful completion of all inspections, a certificate confirming compliance with the established requirements is issued.
Monitoring and control: Periodic verification and confirmation of conformity of certified products, services or management systems.
Benefits of certification:
Consumer confidence: A certificate of quality increases the confidence of customers and partners in the company's products or services.
Competitiveness: Having certification helps you stand out in the marketplace and increase your competitiveness.
Market access: Certification is a prerequisite for entry into many markets, both domestic and international.
Risk reduction: Compliance with standards helps minimize product quality and safety risks.
Certificates are an integral part of the documents that customs authorities check when importing and exporting goods. Non-compliance with certification requirements can lead to administrative sanctions, delays in deliveries and other negative consequences.
Documents for customs clearance:
Certificates of Conformity: These documents confirm that products meet established quality and safety standards. Customs authorities require them for verification at the clearance stage.
Declarations of Conformity: These represent a declaration by the manufacturer or importer that the goods meet safety and quality requirements. They are also an important part of the documents submitted to Customs.
Other certificates: Depending on the type of goods, additional certificates such as phytosanitary or veterinary certificates may be required.
Customs inspection process:
Document verification: Customs scrutinizes all submitted certificates and declarations for compliance. The absence or incorrect execution of these documents may result in delay of the shipment.
Physical inspection: In some cases, in addition to checking documents, Customs may conduct a physical inspection of the goods to confirm that they meet the declared standards.
Administrative Responsibility:
Fines and penalties: Importing or exporting uncertified goods can result in administrative penalties, including fines and confiscation of the goods. This emphasizes the importance of proper and timely execution of certification documents.
Blocking the shipment: Customs authorities have the right to detain the shipment until all necessary documents have been submitted and verified.
The benefits of correct interaction:
Reduced clearance time: Having all the necessary certificates and declarations in place speeds up the customs clearance process and reduces the risk of delays.
Risk reduction: Proper paperwork and compliance with standards can help avoid fines and other administrative penalties.
Market access: Certification is a prerequisite for entry into many markets, both domestic and international.
Increased trust: Having certification documents increases the trust of customs authorities, customers and partners.
