About

IIEI Certification

IIEI Certification is an independent standard setting certification authority and testing organization serving the international trade industry worldwide. It is solely responsible for the development,  validation, maintenance and administration of a wide variety of proficiency examinations to individuals within the international trade industry. It does not provide training or examination preparation for the tests it offers; it works in tandem with training organizations worldwide who prepare individuals to sit for the examinations.

IIEI Certification’s Advocacy Role

The cornerstone of the IIEI Certification program is the volunteers throughout the world who have participated in the process with their time and expertise to help ensure that the baseline knowledge requirements reflect “best practices” for any certification and meet the current needs of industry. (See Committees for current volunteers)

Using scientific methods, IIEI Certification’s staff attempt to impartially reflect volunteers’ expert opinions into the global standards for all international trade certifications–import and export related. As a result, IIEI Certification has been accepted globally. In this responsible advocacy role, it has worked closely with other NGOs and governments around the world to make trade safer by disseminating “best practices” and bringing standardization to trade practices and policies.

All of the industry certification standards published on this web site reflect the latest changes and are available free of charge to all governments, colleges, universities and training organizations throughout the world. Thanks to the efforts of countless volunteers over the years, the global standards here have been recognized around the world.

IIEI Certification is a division of International Export Institute, Inc.
