Irbid Chamber of Industry

What Irbid Chamber of Industry does

Irbid Chamber of Industry is a Jordanian non-profit trade association established in 1999 under Industrial Chambers Law No. 10 of 2005, mandated to represent and support the industrial and craft sector across the northern governorates of Irbid, Jerash, and Ajloun. The chamber serves approximately 2,000 member industrial and craft establishments — predominantly medium, small, and micro-sized enterprises — providing sector representation, business development support, regulatory liaison, and export facilitation services.

Its core services center on a unified electronic services platform that enables electronic document archiving, electronic fee payment, electronic issuance of certificates of origin, and access to an industrial directory of member establishments and an export statistics database. Inquiry services cover certificate of origin verification, membership verification, and fee calculators tied to establishment capital and social security-registered Jordanian worker count. The platform is accessible via public portals and authenticated member/staff portals.

The chamber operates a dual revenue model: recurring annual membership subscriptions scaled to establishment size, plus transaction-based fees for certificates of origin priced by invoice value and currency. Distribution is conducted through its headquarters in Irbid and the electronic self-serve platform. The chamber is governed by a 9-member Board of Directors elected every four years from the general assembly, with the Director General overseeing daily operations. Recent strategic activity has focused on digital transformation of services (2024) and cross-border trade partnerships, including a February 2026 twinning agreement with Syria's Daraa Chamber of Industry and Ramtha Chamber of Commerce to facilitate Jordan-Syria industrial cooperation.
