Movement Certificate EUR.1

The movement certificate EUR.1 is a declaration for products having preferential origin status that is needed for shipments to those countries with which the EEC has special agreements. Goods, for which a movement certificate EUR.1 has been issued, can be imported at a reduced tariff and sometimes even exempt of duties. The EUR.1 is used for the movement of goods with the following countries: Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Croatia, Macedonia, Faroe Islands, Israel, West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, South Africa, Mexico, Chile, Egypt (and other countries).

Up to a value of 6,000 Euros, the exporter is allowed to give a declaration of origin on the commercial invoice used for the movement of goods with some of these countries. In case the value is higher than this limit, the EUR.1 has to be used. 

The EUR.1 has to be filled in by the exporter (or his representative) and must be produced to the responsible customs office. In order to confirm the origin of the goods, supporting documents such as a supplier’s declaration according to regulation (EEC) No. 1207/2001 need to be presented to the custom officers.
