TCCI, through delegation from the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is authorised by the Australian Government to issue Certificates of Origin for Australian business, both for ordinary trade and for Australia’s Free Trade Agreements (AANZFTA, TAFTA, KAFTA, JAEPA, ChAFTA).
Certificates of Origin are documents used in international trade for millions of transactions around the globe every year certifying the status of goods traded across borders.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Manual Certificates of Origin
In light of the advice received from the Australian Government regarding COVID-19, the TCCI is implementing new policies to ensure the safety of staff and visitors to minimise risk.
TCCI will be reducing the number of staff in the office, as a result you will need to call the office prior to bringing in manual certificates as staff will need to be notified to ensure someone is able to come into the office. Our regular reception phone line 03 6236 3600 is currently operating during our normal business hours of 8:30am – 4:30pm.
When you visit our offices please follow these rules:
