Any company involved in an export operation must justify the origin of the exported product by producing a certificate of origin to accompany the goods. In Luxembourg, the House of Entrepreneurship of the Chamber of Commerce is responsible for authenticating certificates of origin for the benefit of companies. Today, the Community certificate of origin is the common model used for all EU Member States.

Since 2012, companies can apply for a Community certificate of origin also via the Internet by registering on Digichambers, a platform that allows companies to remotely manage their application for the issue of certificates of origin.

When a company temporarily exports goods, they remain the property of the sender. As they are therefore intended to return in the same condition to the country of departure, the company will not have to pay customs duties and taxes in the countries of temporary admission. The ATA carnet The ATA carnet (for temporary admission) works like a real passport for goods to simplify customs operations and reduce costs.

Finally, if a company wishes to secure its transactions via Internet/Intranet, it can apply for a LuxTrust product. These digital certificates make it possible to verify the identity of a person or a company in the context of an electronic transaction. They have a limited validity period but can be renewed when they expire.

Through its House of Entrepreneurship, the Chamber of Commerce offers export assistance by securing the traceability of trade.

Corresponding as closely as possible to your company's activity profile, this digital monitoring service allows you to have easy and regular access to calls for tenders from the EU and the Greater Region by receiving electronic alerts of contract notices on which you can position yourself. Thus, through a personalised management of your company profile, you will receive only the relevant tenders that concern you and will no longer waste your precious time looking for these specific calls for tender for your sector of activity. At the same time, this service will allow you to keep an eye on your competitors.

The "Greater Region" subscription provides you three times a week with a list of invitations to tender published in the newspapers and databases of the Greater Region (BE/DE/FR/LU). This includes calls for tenders for smaller amounts that are not published at European level.

The "Europe" subscription allows you to receive "tailor-made" tender notices electronically on a daily basis. The relevance and selection of these notices is based on previously defined search criteria. The documents sent out also include notices of past contracts with the contact details of the company that won the contract and that could be a good contact for your company for a possible collaboration.
