How do I get a Certificate of Origin for my good? To obtain a Certificate of Origin, the good must be classified as originating from New Zealand.  Your good must be last processed in New Zealand.  Qualify under the following Origin Criteria - Wholly Originating - Wholly Produced - Product Specific Rules

Qualifying Criteria In a Nutshell… Wholly Originating Your good is a raw material or made from raw materials which come from New Zealand

Qualifying Criteria In a Nutshell… Wholly Produced Your good is made only from materials that originate from New Zealand and the territory of FTA Members Parties (but the final processing of the good must be done here)

Qualifying Criteria In a Nutshell… Product Specific Rules (PSR) Your good is made from some materials that originate outside of NZ and the territory of FTA member parties OR has materials of unknown origin The rule for each good varies. In each case the good will be tested against the rules which apply to that good to determine if it qualifies. In general, if you have ‘non-originating’ goods your good will need to be sufficiently processed in New Zealand to qualify.
