Sri Lanka, this year.

Being the pioneer organization authorized by the Secretary of State
for the Colonies in 1925, to issue Certificates of Origin (C/O) in Sri
Lanka, the Commercial Documents Registration Division (CDRD) of the CCC
which was set up for this purpose, has now completed 86 years.
CDRD plays a pivotal role among the range of services provided by the
CCC to the Sri Lankan business community at large.
Vital commercial documents such as Certificates of Origin, commercial
and freight invoices, agency agreements, survey reports, phytosanitary
and health certificates, authentication of Saudi visas, certificates of
beneficiaries, to name a few, are registered by this division. “You can
be a valued beneficiary of the fully secured online system launched in
July 2007 by the CCC.
Further, electronic issuance of certificates of origin (e-CO) allows
exporters to send the 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 not only saves time as the document could be forwarded to
the Chamber even after working hours but also reduces cost, paperwork
and eliminates delays to the users,” said a Chamber spokesman. |
