Overview

Why Kenya asks for a legalised chamber or export council membership certificate

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).

Tender authorities and importers in Africa frequently ask Indian suppliers for legalised licences and registration certificates.

In Kenya, 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 High Commission of Kenya in New Delhi.
