Self-Certification of Export Documents Program
If your company exports U.S. manufactured goods, you may qualify for the Chamber's Self-Certification of Export Documents Program. Every foreign country verifies the origin of a product to establish a specific duty. To validate the U.S. origin of your merchandise you must have your export documentation validated by a U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
You can either come to the Chamber and have your export documents sealed, or you can join the Chamber's Self-Certification of Export Documents Program. By joining the program, you can lease the Chamber Seal for a year and validate your export documents as many time as necessary without having to come to the Chamber.
