CERTIFICATES OF ORIGIN

The Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce stamps 95% of documents online via essCert. A handful of countries do still require a physical stamp with a raised-indentia seal.

Discover why progressive chambers, exporters and freight forwarders have eliminated paper processing of Certificates of Origin

Chambers of Commerce play a central role in facilitating global trade. These services include the issuing of Certificates of Origin (COO) and other supporting documents for exporters. Current practice sees Certificates of Origin couriered to the Chamber of Commerce for certification – an costly, inefficient and time-consuming paper-based process for chambers, exporters and freight forwarders. The costs associated with paper based COO certification practices include:

  • Courier costs
  • Appointments/scheduling
  • Productivity losses
  • Workflow inefficiencies
  • Increased certification turnaround times
  • Delays/missed Deadlines
