In 1947, the Chamber led the way in responding to the call by the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) by becoming a constituent member of ACCCIM. Today, the Chamber is one of the 17 constituent members of ACCCIM.
 
Apart from its role as a coordinator among the local Chinese business and commercial community, the Chamber also carries out organizational reforms in tandem with the prevailing governmental policies and business environment and the needs of times with a view to become a professionally managed & self- sustaining exemplary chamber of Commerce. The chamber has the following mission.
 
a. To unite the Chinese business community and to promote science and technology and innovation to uplift competitiveness.
 
b. To lead the Chinese business community in exploring opportunities in the country and in overseas.
 
c. To uphold noble values and be socially responsible so as to create a harmonious and civic society. 
 
The Chamber is also mindful of its social responsibility. In this respect, it has set-up an Education Fund in 2003 to provide financial assistance to needy and deserving students in their studies. In 2004 the Chamber became the first chamber of commerce to be awarded the coveted ISO9001:2000 quality management certification. 
 
In October 2004, the Chamber formed the Klang Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Youth Section, or Youth Chinese Entrepreneurs. The section aims to attract the new generation to join the rank of the Chinese business community and to realise the established objectives of the Chamber more effectively. It also aims to nurture the younger generation as successful, brilliant business entrepreneurs. In 2009, the chamber formed the Women Entrepreneur section to encourage more women to participate in business.
 
Taking cognizance of the shift in the socioeconomic paradigm, the Chamber will continue to work together with its members so as to become a highly efficient and financially independent Chamber and to unite resources of Chinese entrepreneurs to explore more business opportunities and to go global.
