What can EVE do?
With EVE, approved arrangement class 19.2 approved persons can view digital copies of government certificates (eCertificates) online.
You can search for a certificate using criteria, originating country and certificate number. The page will then return the eCertificate and any attachments (if applicable) as image files.
eCertificates are currently only supported for certain trading partner countries. As this government-to-government exchange grows, the number of eCertificates accessible through EVE will also grow. To view a list of currently supported trading partners, see eCert (electronic certification) for imports.
