There are two ways to obtain a CoC customs clearance certificate, depending on your own situation. However, in order to reduce export risks, most customers choose to apply for it in the exporting country.

1. Application in the country of destination:

Simple process: sampling test at the port → inspection → (if necessary: ​​apply for TEC certificate) → apply for CoC customs clearance.

After the products arrive at the Kuwait port, the Kuwait Industrial Authority PAI will conduct a full test on the samples at the port. After the test is completed, PAI will conduct a technical inspection on the products. PAI will review the test report and inspection report, and issue a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for customs clearance if they fully meet the requirements.

Note: For situations with high shipment frequency, you can apply for a Technical Evaluation Certificate (TEC) from PAI based on the test report. The certificate is valid for 2 years after the test report is issued, based on the test report. During the validity period of the certificate, you do not need to submit a test report for each shipment, you only need to issue a TEC certificate.

2. Application by the exporting country:

Simple process: sampling test at the port → inspection → (if necessary: ​​apply for TEC certificate) → apply for CoC customs clearance

In the exporting country, the product is tested in a qualified laboratory. After the test is completed, apply for pre-shipment inspection PSI from a qualified inspection agency and obtain a technical inspection report TIR (Technical Inspection Report). PAI reviews the test report and TIR inspection report, and if they fully meet the requirements, it will issue a certificate of conformity (CoC) for customs clearance.

Note: For situations with high shipment frequency, customers can apply for a Technical Evaluation Report TER (Technical Evaluation Report) certificate based on the test report. The validity period of the TER certificate is based on the test report, generally 3 years for CB reports and 2 years for other IEC reports. During the validity period of the TER, there is no need to submit a test report for each shipment, only the TER is required.
