Problem:
The authenticity of paper certificates of origin is verified after the goods have entered the market:
- Goods enter the country accompanied by a paper certificate of origin and are sold.
- After some time, the tax administration reviews the import documentation.
- A request for verification of the paper document is sent to the PCC or to Polish customs authorities.
- We verify the paper documentation.
- We send a response (one of two options) to the customs authorities of the importing country:
OPTION 1: The document is authentic.
What next? The inspection ends.
OPTION 2: The document is forged.
What next? Goods of unknown origin have entered the market. Anti-dumping duties, sanctions, or embargoes may have been circumvented.
The state administration must resolve the situation.
Consumer protection authorities order the importer to withdraw the product from the market and impose penalties.
The tax authorities impose fines on the importer.
Solution:
Require electronic certificates of origin. Verify authenticity immediately before the goods enter the country. Full control. No risk.

Problem:
My goods are being held at the border due to the need to verify the authenticity of paper certificates of origin:
- The shipment is stopped at the border by the customs authorities of the importing country.
- Customs officers suspect the document may be forged or the origin of the goods is not acceptable.
- A request for verification of the paper document is sent to the PCC or to Polish customs authorities.
- We verify the paper documentation.
- We send a response (one of two options) to the customs authorities of the importing country:
OPTION 1: The document is authentic.
What next? The goods are released and continue on their way. However, they may have spent anywhere from a few days to several weeks at the border. This may result in additional warehousing fees or losses, especially for perishable goods.
OPTION 2: The document is forged.
What next? The goods are rejected and returned. This causes losses for both the importer and the exporter.
There is also a risk of penalties.
