AMMAN — The value of certificates of origin issued by the Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC) for exported goods rose by 24.1 per cent during the first five months of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025.
According to ACC statistical data, exports covered by these certificates reached JD624 million between January and May, up from JD502 million recorded in the corresponding period last year.
The number of certificates issued also increased by 10 per cent, reaching 15,464 compared with 14,054 during the same period in 2025.
The data showed that the UAE received the highest number of certificates at 4,007, followed by Syria with 1,628, Iraq with 1,023, Egypt with 279, and Switzerland with 21.
In terms of value, Iraq topped destination markets at around JD254 million. Switzerland followed with JD92 million, the UAE with nearly JD46 million, Syria with JD32 million, and Egypt with JD31 million.
A breakdown by commodity group showed that foreign-origin products accounted for the largest share at JD273 million. Industrial goods followed at about JD84 million, agricultural products at JD74 million, and Arab-origin products at nearly JD73 million.
Certificates of origin are international trade documents that certify the country in which goods were produced, manufactured or processed. Customs authorities use them to determine tariffs and verify product origins.
The ACC issues these certificates for Jordanian agricultural, animal and raw natural products, as well as for foreign goods re-exported or purchased from the local market under specific regulations.
It also issues certificates for local industrial products upon request by exporters, based on a certified factory invoice and an original certificate from an industrial chamber verifying Jordanian origin.
