These services include issuing certificates of origin, attestation, membership services, research and business intelligence reports, business and legal services, and issuing ATA Carnet, Dubai Chamber CSR label, credit rating, Business Groups and Council services, as well as services available to economic and professional bodies.

In the aforementioned two months, the e-transactions accomplished by the Chamber covered most notably certificates of origin, membership, ATA Carnet, and attestations.
