Overview

When you need a legalised chamber or export council membership certificate in China

Membership of a chamber of commerce or an export promotion council shows that your business is an established, recognised exporter. Foreign buyers and authorities sometimes ask for the membership certificate or RCMC when registering suppliers. Membership certificates are issued by Indian chambers of commerce and export promotion councils (for example the RCMC).

Distributors and regulators in Asia often ask for legalised licences and registrations when approving a new Indian supplier.

In China, a legalised chamber or export council membership certificate is typically requested for supplier registration; it is also used for tenders and exporter verification by buyers.

A chamber or export council membership certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of China in New Delhi.

Although China joined the Apostille Convention in 2023, in our processing experience Indian commercial documents for China are still legalised through the Chinese Embassy, so that is the route we follow.
