Export Documentation
As part of the British Chambers of Commerce network, Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce is among the only organisations in the UK to be commissioned by the Department of Trade and Industry to certify EC and Egyptian Certificates of Origin for the purposes of exporting goods and to comply with customs requirements in the importing state, as well as meeting banking and other commercial criteria. We also act as a sub-agent to the Arab British Chamber of Commerce through a partnership agreement with Glasgow Chamber of Commerce. EUR1 and ATR preferential trade documents can also be certified with the customs stamp by the chamber.

Certification Services are offered at a 50% discount to members, with a guaranteed turn around time of 4 hours from receipt. For an increased fee we are also able to process documents on demand (in the hour).
