The activities of the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce do not simply focus on fostering commercial opportunities. When negotiations are successful, the Arab importer and the Brazilian exporter need safety and guarantees.

Thus, the Arab Chamber is legally entitled to issue certificates of origin and to certify export documents to the Arab countries, as well as any other commercial document, guaranteeing to the importer the origin of the products and services.

A team of experts gives advice on certification and analyzes the documents in detail so that the norms of origin and the demands of the Arab importers are met. Doubts about how to issue documents and information about the required procedures are solved by the team.

Personalized adhesive tags developed in accordance with the most modern international models of certification are used. Due to their many security items, the tags provide agility and authenticity. Furthermore, the Arab Chamber makes it possible for the user to follow all the steps of the process on the internet, from the moment the document is handed in to the moment it is issued, through http://rastrear.ccab.org.br/intranet . The whole process takes two days.

For the exports' convenience we also offer courier services to embassies where legal aspects of documents are taken care of. This takes from five to eight days. The Arab countries' embassies in Brasília will only certify documents that have been certified by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce which is the only Brazilian organization recognized by the League of Arab States.

For further information, please contact our department of certification at: certificacoes@ccab.org.br
