The costs of ICC expertise

The Centre charges a non-refundable amount of US$ 2 500 for proposing or appointing an expert. This amount should be paid for each name requested.

The charge for administration of the expertise proceedings is US$ 2 500, plus the fees and expenses of the expert and the administrative fees of the ICC International Centre for Expertise, which may not exceed 15% of the total expert's fees.

There is no scale for such fees. These may vary according to the field of expertise, the appointed expert's qualifications and the scope of his or her terms of reference. The amount of the advance to cover the costs of the expertise is determined by the Centre after consulting, as far as possible, the potential expert and the requesting parties.

Arbitral tribunals acting under the ICC Rules of Arbitration are exempt from charges for the proposal of an expert.
