In 1980s of the 20th century, reform and opening-up surged throughout China. With the deepening of the market economy reform, the foreign trade system and management structure have changed fundamentally. Since 1987, Chinese foreign trade enterprises have gradually embarked on a road of independent operation whereas they are responsible for their own profit and loss. The number of such enterprises has greatly increased and their scope of operation broadened. Competent foreign trade authorities at various levels have also begun to shift their functions to macro-control. Against such a background, an intermediary is necessary to coordinate the work between government and enterprises and among enterprises themselves. Hence China Chamber of Commerce of Metals Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters— a self--disciplined organization that provides service to enterprises-came into being in 1988.CCCMC gathers a group of the biggest and most representative companies in the industry. The business of member companies covers ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, non-metallic minerals and products, construction materials, coal and coal products, oil and oil products, chemicals, plastics, fine chemicals, agro-chemicals, rubber products, etc.

In recent years the total import and export volume of minerals, metals and chemicals accounts for 25% of the same of China, among which the import volume accounts for 35% and the export volume accounts for 17%. CCCMC has a membership of 2896 till May 2003 including foreign trade companies, trade and manufacturing companies, joint venture companies, private enterprises and research institutes. The total export volume of all members covers 30% of that of the whole industry and almost 300 member enterprises enrolled on the Top 500 exporting enterprises of China every year. The members of CCCMC can represent the overall level of the metal, mineral and chemical industries in China.

Service is fundamental to CCCMC. Service is provided not only by giving information but also by offering coordination and guidance. The services of CCCMC include: Coordination Service in Metals, Minerals, Chemicals Exports, Coordination Service in Bidding Commodities, Organization Service at the Chinese Export Commodities Fair, Organizing Response to Anti-dumping Lawsuit, Verifying Export Prices for Customs Clearance, Internet Information Service, Overseas Exhibition & Training Service, CCCMC Journal And Other Publications (Complimentary), Organizing Proseminar on International Market, Credit Investigation of International Customers and Delinquent Collection and Commodity Market and Consultation Service. All its work of CCCMC should be guided by quality service. CCCMC is trying every effort to provide such service. The concept of quality service is the key.

In the new century, the socialist market economy is improving, the reform is deepening and China has entered into WTO. With both challenges and opportunities ahead, CCCMC is charged with heavy tasks. However, just as its logo displays, being aggressive and enthusiastic remains to be our belief; all-round development and diversified service are our consistent pursuits; ”Serving Enterprises and Valuing Human Resource ” is the evergreen guideline. CCCMC will further update its concept, sharpen its service awareness, widen its service scope, improve its service quality and better its service style so as to render prompt, efficient and excellent service and contribute to the foreign trade development of the country, thus opening up a new outlook of its work.
