Certificates of Origin
Electronic platform now available!
In an effort to make the process of certification of Certificates of origin more accessible to Canadian exporters across the country, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce entered into partnership with TradeCert, an international provider of online document certification services. The Certificate is a document that authenticates the country of origin of merchandise being shipped overseas.
Canadian Exporters are now able to request Certificates from the comfort of their own office by logging on to www.tradecert.com/canada. All that is required is an Internet connection and a colour printer.
To find out more about the system’s benefits and its ease of access, register for one of the free interactive presentations (15-30 minutes) scheduled at 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. EST on the following dates:
