Need a commercial declaration or supporting document notarized in connection with CETA or an international shipment? Royal Seal Notary Public provides notarial and commissioning services for eligible trade-related documents in Oshawa.

CETA, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union, uses specific origin documentation for qualifying goods. A standard CETA origin declaration does not generally require notarization. However, a customs broker, importer, bank, shipping company, chamber of commerce, or other organization may sometimes request that a related declaration, signature, or supporting commercial document be notarized.

Common situations may include:

• Commercial declarations requiring a notarized signature
• Supporting export or shipping documents
• Business declarations or affidavits
• Documents requested by an importer, customs broker, bank, or receiving organization
• Other international trade documents where notarization is specifically requested

What to bring:

• The document requiring notarization or commissioning
• Valid government-issued identification
• Any supporting business or shipping documents relevant to the request
• Any instructions, email, or checklist from your customs broker, importer, bank, shipping company, chamber of commerce, or receiving organization

Important:

• Do not sign the document before your appointment if your signature must be witnessed.
• A standard CETA origin declaration does not generally require notarization.
• We do not determine whether goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment under CETA.
• We do not certify the origin of goods unless the specific notarial act requested is legally appropriate.
• Customs and international trade requirements may vary depending on the goods, destination, and receiving authority.
• Clients should confirm the exact requirements with their customs broker, importer, shipping company, chamber of commerce, or other appropriate authority.

If you have been told that a CETA-related or international trade document needs to be notarized and are unsure what service is required, bring the instructions you received. We can help you understand the notarial or commissioning service being requested without providing customs or trade-law advice.
