Certificates of Origin
Do you ship goods internationally? If so, you might find yourself in need of a Certificate of Origin. A Certificate of Origin is a document required by some foreign governments, which proves in which country the good was manufactured. In order to be acceptable, the Certificate of Origin must be signed by the exporter and then validated by a locally designated agency, such as the Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber will only issue certificates for goods made in the United States during business hours (Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm EST).

By submission of your Certificate of Origin to the Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce (WCCCC), your organization releases the WCCCC from any and all liability. The WCCCC can only verify what the signee has presented as true and reliable. If the signee has falsified the origin of the goods made, WCCCC cannot be held responsible in any lawsuit. No further vetting has occurred.
