Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry

What Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry does

The Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MNCCI), founded in 1960 and headquartered in Ulaanbaatar, is Mongolia's statutory, non-governmental national chamber of commerce. It represents approximately 6,500 member enterprises across mining, manufacturing, trade, agriculture, finance, and technology, and is the sole authorized issuer of certificates of origin, ATA Carnets, and REX system registrations for Mongolian exporters. Core services include trade documentation and facilitation, the Foreign Trade Academy (offering a one-year Foreign Trade Manager program plus Corporate Governance, CEO, and Secretary certification courses), intellectual property registration, export-import advisory, research products such as the Business Confidence Index and Business Environment Survey, and arbitration services through the Mongolian International Arbitration Center.

MNCCI's revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual membership fees from its 6,500 enterprise base, supplemented by fee-based training and certification programs, per-transaction certificate services, equipment rental, and donor-funded international development programs (EU-TRAM, ProValue with DIHK, MONMAP-AVC with JICA, WEIDE Fund with WTO/ITC, ILO/PAGE). The organization operates through 21 domestic branch offices plus overseas representative offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong (China), and Tokyo (Japan), and maintains partnerships with multilateral organizations (WTO, ITC, ADB, ILO, IOE, CACCI) and bilateral chambers (DIHK, Busan CCI, KADIN, CCPIT, JETRO). It does not develop proprietary technology products, relying instead on a digital membership portal (membership.mn:8080), HS code lookup (gaali.mn), digital library, online certificate services, and a multilingual website to deliver services.
