ALGERIA
Certificate of Conformity and Inspection (CoC)
A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is mandatory for all exports to Algeria. This document serves as official proof of product safety and compliance with Algerian technical regulations. The CoC covers pre-shipment physical inspection, sample testing, and technical inspection processes and can only be issued by accredited inspection organizations. If documents are missing, the shipment may be rejected or delayed by Algerian customs.
Physical Inspection and Certification Process
-
Products destined for Algeria are subject to a physical on-site inspection prior to shipment.
-
During the inspection, product packaging, labeling, quantity, and conformity are checked.
-
When necessary, samples are taken and tested according to the relevant standards.
-
A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is issued after the relevant test reports, technical documentation, and product compliance are verified.
-
This document is valid only for a specific shipment and must be presented at the receiving country's customs office.
