Certification

​​The National U.S. – Arab Chamber of Commerce is America’s #1 commercial gateway to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, is the only business entity in the United States with official recognition conferred by the League of Arab States and the General Union of Arab Chambers of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture.  

​For fifty years, the National U.S.-Arab Chamber of ‎Commerce (NUSACC) has been privileged to serve as the preeminent commercial bridge between the United States and the Arab world.  We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our private sector stakeholders and to support the important work of Arab Embassies in the United States and U.S. Embassies throughout the Middle East and North Africa.

Last year, our Chamber was privileged to receive the coveted E Star Award for Export Excellence, conferred by the President of the United States. NUSACC is the only Chamber of its kind to receive this award – not once, but twice – in the 60-year history of this honor.

NUSACC assists U.S. exporters to the Arab world with all certification and legalization requirements. When certifying commercial and legal documents, it is essential to have the correct documents and authentications to ensure proper and timely processing. NUSACC verifies that all necessary documents are complete and correct prior to submission to Arab Embassies and Consulates, and ensures conformity with regulations these Embassies require for exports shipped to the Arab World.

Fees

• Starting July 1, certification fee for any commercial or legal documents is $60.00 per document. The Chamber accepts company checks, cashier’s checks, or money orders only. Cash and personal checks are not accepted. Checks should be made payable to the National U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce. If paying by money order or cashier’s check, please include your company name, address, and telephone number on the check. Kindly ensure that the correct amount is enclosed with your documents to avoid delays.
• Embassy fees and charges vary by Embassy. Please contact the appropriate Embassy legalization office for its current fee schedule.

Forwarding Arrangements

• All documents should include a forwarding arrangements instruction sheet.
• Documents to be returned by U.S. Postal Service or Express Mail must include a stamped, self-addressed return envelope.
• A copy of each original document must be included for the Chamber files. Since the Chamber copy will not be certified, a fee will not be charged for that copy. Please separate the Chamber copies from the original documents to be certified, attach the check to the copy, and then mark them "Chamber Copies."
  
• Documents to be returned by courier services (FedEx or UPS) must include a fully completed air way bill including the following:

• If you require that your documents be forwarded to a consular or an embassy office, please note that a check covering the Embassy/Consulate fees must be enclosed. No documents will be forwarded to any Embassy or Consulate without a check to cover the required fees. Please also enclose a prepaid self-addressed envelope or a return envelope so that the Embassy or Consulate can return your documents to you.
