Essex Chambers of Commerce together with UKTI Trade and Investment in the East of England, provides the countys most prominent focal point for the promotion and support of international trade.
Our up to date News Service spotlights information for those with a vested interest in foreign trade. We also organise Overseas Market Visits, which can be invaluable in supporting those tentative first steps and making contacts. On a practical note, our highly popular Export Assistance and Documentation Service helps reduce the potential complexity of overseas trade. For those with little or no International experience, Essex Chambers of Commerce can provide tailored training seminars giving advice on all aspects of exporting.
Finally our UK based International Trade Events represent the perfect way to make vital and valuable contacts. This all adds up to the very best international trade support available within the county.
Essex Chambers of Commerce is authorised by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) to issue and certify export documentation. Some 6500 sets of documents are certified each year. These include Certificates of Origin, Invoices, Agency and Distributor Agreements plus Health, Veterinary, Vessel and Inspection Certificates. We are also licensed by Customs and Excise to issue movement certificates, ATR's and EUR1's on their behalf.
The Chamber can provide a "while you wait" or postal service for EC Documentation. We can also provide you with a Legalisation Service to most countries including the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
