Amendment of a Kimberley Process Certificate (Import/Export)

Amendment of a Kimberley Process Certificate (Import/Export) after Issue

Procedures and Supporting Documents

Any amendments of the Certificate after issue could only be made by the Trade and Industry Department upon receipt of written applications for amendment by the declared importers/exporters concerned.

Request for amending an issued Certificate will be considered by the Trade and Industry Department on a case-by-case basis. In general, the amendment should be minor and only if the change is not tantamount to substitution of a different consignment. All issued copies of the Certificate must be returned for amendment and relevant supporting documents may be required. For Kimberley Process Certificate (Export), only minor amendments to the departure date and mode of shipment are normally allowed after effect of shipment.
