The Glenview Chamber of Commerce works to provide a guide with free resources for businesses at all stages. See below for some of the many free business resources available to your business.
Certificate of Origin
A Certificate of Origin (COO) is an official document used in international trade to verify the country where goods were produced or manufactured. Many businesses that export goods are required to provide a COO to ensure that the products meet specific trade requirements, and that they qualify for preferential tariff rates under international agreements. As a Glenview Chamber member, you get access to this service for free as part of your membership benefits. Appointments must be made with the Chamber in advance by emailing info@glenviewchamber.com.
