Quick Answer
Dubai Chamber of Commerce (formerly DCCI) is the membership body every Dubai mainland company automatically joins on licensing. Chamber membership is part of the annual trade-licence cost, and the Chamber issues certificates of origin and attestation services used in export and trade.
Every mainland trade licence includes Dubai Chamber membership, whose fee is bundled into the licence cost. The Chamber supports members with trade documentation — most importantly certificates of origin required for exporting goods — plus attestation, arbitration, and business-networking services.
For a trading or export business, the Chamber's certificate-of-origin service is a routine PRO task; its membership fee is one of the composite components that make a 'trade licence' cost more than the bare DET fee.
