WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER JOINING USCIB
The most critical business risks on a global scale are concentrated in the areas of regulations and compliance. At USCIB, our reputation as a pro-trade, pro-business organization that leads the way in ensuring clear, predictable rules and regulations under which business can plan, invest and innovate has made us a “must have” partner for American business interests since 1945. Read more.
Today, our members are drawn from the top ranks of American business and service companies, smaller firms with significant business overseas, leading professional service firms as well as national industry associations representing a broad range of industry sectors and boasting business operations in nearly every country on earth.
They join USCIB for many reasons. For information. For Access. For Influence. For Trade Services.
Ø For information, they use us to monitor and cover the waterfront of forums and events here and
abroad on a wide range of issues affecting energy and environment, human rights and corporate social responsibility, tax, information technologies, trade, investment, financial services, customs, intellectual property, China and APEC that no one company can do on its own – large or small. And they appreciate our ability to filter vast amounts of critical business intelligence into meaningful action. Read more.
Ø For access, they use us as a channel into our global network including the world’s three largest business organizations where policy is debated that becomes accepted guidelines for business around the world. USCIB is the only U.S. business group formally recognized to speak for American business inside those three organizations: the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) to the OECD and the International Organization of Employers.

And they use us to be heard in the halls of Congress and in the Executive branch of the U.S. government where USCIB is respected as an independent and trusted proponent for American business. Read more.
Ø For influence, they use our committees to develop consensus positions to influence international business positions that are then reflected in the views expressed by the national business organizations to their own governments. Read more.
Ø For services, they use us to facilitate trade with the ATA Carnet, a customs document saving them time and money on temporary exports and imports through our member-bond program. Read more.
Whatever the reason, USCIB members have access to a broad array of information, access, influence and services found nowhere else.
How Can I Join?
USCIB membership is open to corporations, law firms, consulting firms and industry associations. Once you join USCIB, your company or organization is entitled to take full advantage of our resources and services. You may assign as many executives as you wish to USCIB committees, working groups and task forces. Dues are determined using a formula that calculates domestic and international revenues to determine a fair level for each member on an individual basis in consultation with our membership department.
Limited memberships are available for chambers of commerce and sole legal practitioners. Chambers of Commerce at the state or local level join USCIB to access ICC’s World Chambers Federation, a network of more than 10,000 chambers of commerce worldwide.
Sole legal practitioners wishing to take part in ICC arbitration and dispute resolution activities may join the Sole Practitioners Program.
Annual dues for both categories of membership start at $500 USD.
