CDRD offers speedy service to exporters

The Commercial Documents Registration Division (CDRD) of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) has been providing its services for more than 87 years and currently serves a clientele of over 600 established exporters.

Amongst the services provided by the CCC to the business community at large, this division which functions as a facilitator to boost the Sri Lankan economy, plays a vital role in promoting Sri Lankan exports.

A chamber spokesman said: “Whilst servicing the exporters by registering 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, etc., the CDRD also offers all exporters, both members and non members alike the opportunity of being valued beneficiaries of the fully secured online system launched in July 2007. Additionally, the specialised facility of electronic issuance of certificates of origin (e-CO), offers exporters the ability to send the documents electronically via the internet to the Chamber.”

The approximate time taken to register a document is only three minutes. For speedy and efficient document registration, all exporters are invited to visit the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce CDRD division or call Pasantha Dissanayake, Manager in charge of the division on 5588808 or 2421745-6.
