Our Verification of Conformity services help to ensure that shipments conform to local importing standards in order to be cleared at destination.
Verification of Conformity (VOC) programmes are compulsory mechanisms required by Governments to verify goods before they are shipped to ensure they meet the required quality and safety standards of the importing country. For importers and exporters, this requires ensuring that their products are correctly classified and certified in order to be approved for clearance.
Cotecna International has been appointed by local governments to verify and inspect their imported goods from many countries in the world.
Our VOC Services include:
- Guiding the exporter throughout the entire certification process
- Documentary checks
- Conformity assessment in the exporting country, including physical inspection and testing in accredited laboratories
- Issuance of a Certificate of Conformity (COC) or Certificate of - Inspection (COI) required for customs clearance
