A EUR.1 is a movement certificate that proves the originating status of goods so they can claim a preferential (reduced or zero) duty rate under certain trade agreements.
What is a EUR.1 certificate?
A EUR.1 is proof of origin used to claim preferential tariff treatment under specific Free Trade Agreements. It is stamped by customs (or issued under approved-exporter rules).
Who needs a EUR.1?
Exporters whose goods meet the rules of origin under an agreement that uses EUR.1, so the importer can claim the lower duty rate.
How it relates to classification
Preferential rates are claimed against a commodity code, and rules of origin are defined by tariff heading. The correct code is the starting point for proving origin and unlocking the saving.
