The COC for commercial vehicles
A light commercial vehicle (category N1: panel van, van, pick-up) imported from the EU needs its certificate of conformity to obtain its registration certificate. The document notably confirms the weights (gross vehicle weight) and the approved configuration.
We obtain the COC / eCOC for your van from the manufacturer.
