For Chambers

Our Chamber Partnership Program puts the resources, expertise and global reach of the AWTCC to work for your exporting members. This program includes our electronic Certificate of Origin Affinity Program, one of the largest Chamber affinity programs in the United States. Think of us as your Chamber’s own international trade department. A partnership with the AWTCC can give you access to new members, such as manufacturers and export related companies in your community.

The AWTCC team has deep experience in international trade — in import/export operations, international banking, electronic trade documentation and regulatory compliance. We bring that expertise to your members, expanding the value of your own Chamber to your community.

The AWTCC brings knowledge and compliance with international rules to Certificates of Origin. Our Online Certification System allows your members to apply via the internet for International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) accredited Certificates of Origin. Many Chambers inadvertently take on legal liability for these important international trade documents, without having familiarity with the relevant international rules. Our certification team members hold certificates of training in Certificate of Origin operations from the ICC in Paris.

Legalization and Apostille of documents used in international trade is a highly technical undertaking, and requires ready access to foreign embassies and consulates, as well as government agencies. With our offices in New York and Washington, DC, our relations with embassies and consulates, and the expertise of our team you can now offer a service that has previously been impossible for U.S. chambers to provide.

Certificates of Free Sale are an international trade document used for regulatory registration in jurisdictions outside the United States. While Chambers can, in some cases, issue these documents, other times they must be issued by U.S. government agencies. Our team issues these Certificates, and understand when to advise that the U.S. government must issue it. Again, it is the AWTCC’s expertise in international trade compliance that can bring the most effective set of services to your members.

Over 50,000 tenders are launched daily by government entities around the world. Many exporters in your community could be bidding on some of these opportunities but there is one problem – they don’t know about them! AWTCC can provide access to the world’s largest database of these public tenders, and filter the opportunities for specific members depending on their specified criteria. We can also provide access to rapid issuance of business travel visas, lightning fast U.S. passport renewal and other services.
