A Certificate of Origin is a document which identifies the origin of goods being exported. It is required by customs as one of the key bases for applying tariff rates. Most chambers of commerce and some trade associations have been authorized by their Customs agencies to certify non-preferential, and in some cases, preferential certificates of origin.

Thus, a chambers' role in the issuance and attestation of Certificates of Origin is both unique and vital in facilitating international trade.

International Certificate of Origin Guidelines is the result of 18 months' work by ICC's World Chambers Federation, incorporating the best practice from several national chamber organizations to produce the first international procedures and guidelines manual for chambers in the issuance of non-preferential certificates of origin.
