Apostille or embassy for a commercial document

The MEA attests a commercial document on the signature of a Chamber of Commerce, as it does on the state's signature for a personal document.
The apostille has a limit
The Apostille Convention says it does not apply to administrative documents dealing directly with commercial or customs operations. Whether your document is one of them decides between the apostille and the embassy.
