EUR.1-certificate
You need a EUR.1-certificate when you export goods to certain countries outside the EU. With a EUR.1-certificate, goods can enter the country of destination duty-free.
The certificate and when to use it
You use the EUR.1-certificate when you need to export a product to certain countries outside the EU. The certificate is intended to prove where the goods were produced. When using a EUR.1-certificate, you can import the goods at a lower rate of duty, and sometimes duty-free, into the destination country.
The EUR.1-certificate is issued by the Danish Customs and Tax Administration. There are a few requirements that must be met before you can be issued with the certificate:
- The export must be secured, which must be documented by a Movement Reference Number (MRN)
- The exporter must be able to prove the origin of the goods – this can be done via a certificate of origin, supplier invoice, etc.
This means that the certificate is sometimes used along with a certificate of origin, as it is necessary for the exporter to prove the origin of the goods when a EUR.1-certificate is issued.
The EUR.1-certificate contains information such as: Consignor and consignee, specific goods information, certificate from the Danish Customs and Tax Administration, invoice number, etc.
