Registration of commercial documents:
CCC renders vital service
The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) has rendered exemplary service
to the business community in Sri Lanka during its 171 years of
existence. Amongst the many professional services of the Chamber, the
service of registration of commercial documents is highly appreciated
amongst the business community in Sri Lanka as the most expeditious and
efficient.
The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce |
The CCC is the pioneer organization which was authorized by the
Secretary of State for the Colonies in 1925, to issue Certificates of
Origin (C/O) in Sri Lanka. The Documents Registration Department which
commenced operations in 1925, has now completed 85 years and except for
the manual signature, the entire documentation procedure is computerised
which offers accurate and speedy service.
The CCC in its continuous efforts to improve and enhance the present
registration of Certificates of Origin system, launched a fully secured
online system in July 2007. Electronic issuance of Certificates of
Origin (e-CO) allows exporters to send their documents electronically,
directly from their PCs, via the Internet to the Chamber. The registered
Certificate is kept ready for the Exporter to collect, on his way to the
Bank.
This system saves time as the document could be forwarded to the
Chamber even after working hours as well and reduce cost, paperwork and
eliminate delays to the users.
A Chamber spokesman briefing on the CCC Document Registration
Department said ‘We are proud to report that the recognition of the
Ceylon Chamber of Commerce in the overseas business community is immense
to the extent that many Importers accept only the export documents
certified by us and we invite those who do not use our service to
experience the high service proficiency of this department. Visit or
call us for more information on the charges and advise on your export
requirements. To realize the real value and the benefit you are going to
derive, try the efficient and speedy service offered by the CCC Document
Registration Division’.
