Certificate of Origin

The Blue Springs Chamber of Commerce can certify your international shipments.

To help your business facilitate international trade, the Blue Springs Chamber of Commerce provides Certificate of Origin certificates, free of charge, for our members. A Certificate of Origin is provided for non-members for a fee.

A Certificate of Origin may be required by a foreign country because of established Treaty arrangements, varying duty rates, and preferential duty treatment dependent on the shipment´s origin. The Certificate of Origin verifies the country in which the goods were manufactured. Some nations restrict imports from certain countries. Many countries limit the quantity of goods that are allowed to be imported, or give preference to goods manufactured in the U.S. Your international shipping firm or custom broker can determine if your shipment will require a Certificate of Origin.

To certify your products, bring your invoices to the Chamber office where we will verify the signatures and stamp the invoice with our seal.

For more information on the certificate of origin process, contact the Chamber at (816) 229-8558.
