Export Certificates

EUR.1 (Movement Certificate for Goods)
(Applicable to EFTA Countries)

The EUR.1 certificate is used in international shipments during the export of goods from the European Union to a third country to reduce or exempt import duties in the destination country, provided that the destination country has preferential trade agreements with the European Union.

It is required by the customs authorities of the exporting state when the value of the goods exceeds €6,000. A prerequisite for issuing this certificate is the verification of the goods’ Community origin.

Examples of countries that issue the EUR.1 certificate include: Albania, Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Switzerland, Norway, Israel, Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, South Africa, Mexico, Morocco, Chile, Colombia, and others.

A. TR (Movement Certificate for Goods)
(Applicable to Turkey)

This certificate is recognized by the customs authorities of the exporting state and is used to determine the applicable duty rate for the import of most industrial goods between the EU and Turkey.

With the A.TR certificate, the duty on these goods is typically zero. Without it, standard non-EU duty rates apply.

Phytosanitary Certificate & Veterinary Health Certificate

These certificates confirm that shipments of plants, plant- or animal-based food products, or animals meet the applicable regulations and requirements of the destination country and are free from the relevant quarantine pests.

The competent authorities for issuing certificates are the Directorates of Agricultural Economy and Veterinary Medicine, under whose jurisdiction the country’s export points fall.
