Electronic Certificates Of Origin
The Washington County Chamber of Commerce offers online Certificates of Origin through an affiliation with the American World Trade Chamber of Commerce. A Certificate of Origin is an international trade document attesting that goods in an export shipment are wholly obtained, produced, manufactured, or processed in a particular country. Completing your Certificate of Origin online through the Washington County Chamber helps eliminate the likelihood of errors and reduces the cost. Also, key information is stored, allowing for repeat certificates to be created without the need for repetitive form filling.
Exporters and freight forwarders must register to access the Certificate of Origin program by completing the form found here and emailing the completed document to info@wcchamber.org. Once the registration form is received, login credentials will be provided by the Washington County Chamber. Documents will bear the seal of AWTCC, which is registered with customs authorities worldwide.
