DR Congo Certificate of Destination (CoD)
The Certificate of Destination is a DR Congo import document that confirms the declared final destination of the cargo. It complements the FERI and helps customs and OGEFREM reconcile the shipment through transit to its final import point.
What is the CoD?
For shipments to the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Certificate of Destination records and verifies the final destination of the goods. It works alongside the FERI (the DRC cargo tracking certificate) and the importer’s licence to ensure the cargo is correctly declared end to end.
