The Currituck Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Chamber Export Partnership to assist exporters with the processing of export documents, including Certificates of Origin. We are helping local area exporters throughout Northeastern North Carolina, (Currituck, Camden, Elizabeth City and the Outer Banks and beyond) as well as Hampton Roads Virginia, including Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, and Newport News, save time and resources while limiting potential for document errors and providing document tracking and storage for international trade.
These documents include Certificates of Origin, Commercial Invoices, and Packing Lists, which are used to verify that goods originated in or were processed in a particular country. The documents are processed electronically through a technology called essCert, eliminating courier costs, the need for paper processing, and reducing turnaround time.
Members of the Currituck Chamber of Commerce can process export documents for $25/certificate. Non-members can process export documents for $75/certificate.
