COD Certificate
What is a Certificate of Destination COD?
COD is a Certificate of Destination or “Attestation de Destination”, in French, accompanies the shipment from the port of transit or of Regional origin to the DRC by Road, Inland Waterways or Rail. This certificate links the FERI from where it ends at the respective Ocean Port of Discharge, to connect with subsequent road or railway movement of the cargo to the final destination in DRC respectively through DRC Customs controlled entry border posts. This Certificate of Destination (Continuance) must be applied for by the responsible Exporter/Importer or the appointed Agent/Freight Forwarder/Transporter at the port of discharge effecting transit.

- Copy of Maritime Bill of Lading
- Copy of FERI-Maritime
- Export Commercial Invoice

- Other Relevant Subsequent Documentation to effect submission (Verified Certificate)
What will happen if a Consignment arrive at the DRC entry border point without any of the above certificate ?
a) If the consignment arrives at the ocean port of discharge/transit without a FERI Certificate, the FERI Certificate must then be applied for, verified and issued before the Certificate of Destination (COD), which can then be applied for and issued subsequently, to enable an advance declaration of cargo being delivered to the OGEFREM System.
b) Failure to subscribe to the above and the final issuance of the respective Certificate of Destination (COD) or respective ADR prior to the arrival of goods at the DRC port of entry; will require the responsible exporter/freight conveyer to have then to apply for the required Certificate(s) at border entry point of which this may result to not only penalties but unnecessary clearance delays to the consignment, which could have been avoided thereto..
NB: These three Certificate(s) must wherever possible be applied for and issued prior to arrival and subsequent Customs Clearance at the DRC frontier, for the shipment/consignment assessment and clearance to effect smoother border transactions.
