 A chambers' role in the issuance and attestation of Certificates of Origin and other trade documents is both unique and vital to the facilitation of international trade, especially in an increasingly differentiated rule of origin trading environment that lacks international certification standards.

As such, there is an urgency to reinforce and enhance the unique position of Chambers of Commerce as the natural agent in the issuance and attestation of Certificates of Origin and to use the ICC WCF's global stature and platform to develop and or harmonize certification standards and procedures that will benefit traders and customs administrations.

WCF Certificate of Origin Task Force achieves this through the following strategies:

1. Coordinated and vigorous lobbying of international and national governments and agencies through ICC structures.

2. Raising the credibility of Chambers' trade document functions through:


(a) the setting up of an international CO certification procedure standards and guidelines for the issuance and attestation of Certificates of Origin.

(b) the establishment of an international accreditation of Chambers' staff through an international CO Training Programme.

(c) helping Chambers in identification and use of advanced technologies in the delivery of Certificates of Origin and trade documents.


If your chamber would like to help WCF in any of these areas, please 
contact us.
