The Chamber of Commerce and the Certificate of Origin:
A certificate of origin is a document that certifies the country where the goods originated. A certificate of origin may be required by the government of the country where your goods are imported. It’s also frequently used to determine how much duty the importer will pay to bring in your goods.
Most countries accept a generic certificate of origin form that includes information about the exporter and importer, the description and harmonized tariff code of the goods, and the country of origin. The importer depends heavily upon assistance and cooperation from their U.S. suppliers in producing accurate and well-documented declarations of origin. These certificates are usually prepared by the exporter and notarized by the local chamber of commerce.

Two types of certificates of origin can be issued by chambers:
• Non-preferential certificates of origin certify that the goods’ country of origin does not qualify for any preferential treatment. These are the main type chambers issue, and they’re also known as ordinary certificates of origin.
• Preferential certificates of origin certify that goods are subject to reduced tariffs or exemptions when they are exported to countries extending these privileges.

Working with Your Local Chamber of Commerce
Your local chamber can help you sign and stamp your certificate of origin. Individual chamber processes vary, but here’s a general outline of what you need to do and what you can expect in order to get your certificate of origin. (Keep in mind, this may not be exactly what you need to do—it's intended only to give a general outline.)

Obtaining a Certificate of Origin
1. Fill out an appropriate affidavit and have it notarized.
2. Provide either a manufacture invoice or commercial invoice indicating where your goods are manufactured.
3. Complete the certificate of origin document.
4. Take your notarized affidavit, certificate of origin document, and corresponding invoices to your chamber of commerce. Some chambers allow you to email these documents.
5. If you email the documents, indicate which documents you would like to be stamped.
