EUR 1 Movement Certificate

The EUR 1 Movement Certificate, commonly known as a movement certificate, serves as a certificate of origin, facilitating importers in certain countries to import or export goods with reduced or zero-duty rates. This document allows you to leverage bilateral trade agreements, requiring the goods to either originate from the UK or the EU or be produced in a country that has established a trade agreement with the EU.

 

 

How do you obtain a EUR 1 Certificate?

 

The EUR 1 Movement Certificate can be requested by your local customs authority, or an appointed body such as the Chambers of Commerce. When obtaining the certificate, there is an issuing fee which may vary. For instance, memberships with some Chambers of Commerce can mean you benefit from a discount on the total price. To obtain the EUR 1 Certificate, the following documents may be required:

  • A commercial Invoice
  • Packing list
  • Letter of Authorisation (dependent if you have authorised another party to complete the EUR1 on your behalf)
  • Proof of Shipment (dependent if your goods were shipped before the certificate was issued)

What are the benefits of a EUR 1 Certificate?

The EUR 1 Movement Certificate is not manadatory for imports or exports. Applying for and receiving the EUR 1 Movement Certificate enables you to take advantage of bilateral trade agreements by obtaining a discounted duty rate. However, if you did apply for the EUR 1 Movement Certificate and do not present it to the customs office, you will be charged the standard customs tariff as a result.
