Export

We are authorised by HM Revenue & Customs, to check and stamps EUR1 Movement Certificates on their behalf.

EUR1’s are certificates more commonly known as a Movement Certificates, which enable importers in certain countries to import goods under preference, whichmeans that your customer pays a lower or nil rate of import duty on your goods.

You must make a declaration on the back of the form, stating that your goods satisfy the rules of origin as detailed in the appropriate Customs Notices. You should have copies of the Notices BEFORE completing these documents – have a look at our How to Guides for links to each of these Notices.

As with all the other export documents, you will need to include back up documents with your application, to assist us with the process.

Please note that if you are raising the EUR1 retrospectively (after the goods have been shipped), we will also need a copy of the shipping document as proof of export.

A UK Certificates of Origin will be requested by your customer for the use of Customs Clearance, payment against Letters of Credit or simply to meet  “quota requirements” of the importing country.

Please note that a Certificate of Origin acts as proof of where the goods were originally manufactured.  In order to authorise your Certificate, we will need details of who the manufacturer of each item is, and where necessary, we will ask for documentary proof.

Your customer may also ask for your Commercial Invoice, Packing List or other document to be stamped – this is not a problem, we simply ask you to ensure that the document bears an original signature which matches the Signatory Sheet lodged with us. Please ensure that you tell us if the document requires authentication otherwise we will simply use this as back-up.
