The International Trade Centre launched both the eCertification service - eCert eXpress and a-Cert on 1st November 2005.

Following successful trials with the exporting community, eCert eXpress/a-Cert registration will provide the following benefits for you as exporters:

SPEED - By forwarding your export documents to the Chamber electronically, you can have them checked, certified and returned to you for printing at your premises.

Think of the time and cost saved by this eCert eXpress service!

Think of the ability to provide a better service to clients!

SERVICE - By using eCert eXpress you will have an extremely fast service from the Chamber.

Think of the efficiency created by freeing up staff normally used for delivery and collection of export documents!

Think of the ablity to provide a better service to clients!

SIMPLICITY - By forwarding and receiving your documents electronically, and printing at your premises, could you have it any simpler?

Think of the ease in the whole process with eCert eXpress!

SECURITY - By using eCert eXpress you have absolute security in the processing of the documents.

Think of the time and cost in not having to send someone in person to the Chamber.

Ian Pearson, the Minister of State for Trade, during a recent visit was impressed that eCert eXpress took less time to process than it took to boil a kettle!

Mr Pearson said, "eCert eXpress is a very impressive and efficient service for UK exporters" and commended Chambers for leading on this technology.

Quotes from pilot exporters using eCert eXpress were:

"The improved service we can now offer clients is tremendous!"

"The level of customer care that eCert eXpress now provides us was not previously possible!"

We urge you to sign up for this new service by attending our Chamber workshops or contacting us for registration.
