A certificate of origin is a document used in international trade to certify that goods in a shipment have been produced, manufactured, or processed in a specific country. Customs authorities use the document to determine the applicable tariff treatment and verify the country of origin of the goods.

The Amman Chamber of Commerce issues certificates of origin for Jordanian agricultural products, livestock products, raw natural resources, foreign goods re-exported from Jordan, and foreign goods purchased from the local market under specified conditions.

It also issues certificates of origin for Jordanian industrial products at the request of exporters, based on an original factory invoice certified by an industrial chamber and an authenticated certificate confirming the goods are of Jordanian origin, in accordance with Article 29 of the Jordanian Chambers of Commerce Regulation No. 45 of 2009 and the 2013 Instructions for the Issuance of Certificates of Origin.
