Certificates of Origin

Certificates of Origin

Middlefield Chamber of Commerce, via a collaboration with the American World Trade Chamber of Commerce, offers electronically stamped trade documents including certificates of origin, certificates of free sale, and other key trade documents.

Certificates of origin issued through the program are aligned with the standards set by the International Chamber of Commerce and can be verified via https://certificates.iccwbo.org/

Documents Covered
The certificate of origin is the most common, you are able to submit other documents for ‘chamberization’ through Chamber Certification. This includes certificates of free sale, invoices, manufacturer’s declarations, and other documents which may need to be stamped, signed, and issued by a chamber of commerce.

Apostille and Legalization
Some countries require additional servicing to be done such as notarization, apostille, or even having the document presented to the embassy for legalization. Through Chamber Certification, exporters can request documents go through this additional processing for any country they may be exporting to.
