The EUR.1 certificate is used in international trade as a part of the forwarding office. It applies also as a preference certificate and is accepted as a Certificate of Origin, as well. The Certificate of Origin EUR.1 is, for example, used for the monitoring of goods movement. Still, the EUR.1 document is particularly used in goods traffic with EU trade-, preference and cooperative agreements, as well as with states and areas, which are associated with the EU. The certificate will on application and submission of filled out forms be created by customs. Additionally, you should attach further documents, which prove the origin of the goods, such as a supplier declaration, an incoming invoice, import documents, etc.

The actual purpose of the EUR.1 Movement Certificate are tariff advantages. If goods comply with the conditions, they can be imported to reduced tariff, or even duty free. Therefore, it is possible to profit financially from this document.
One should pay attention to the different preference agreements.
There is the unilateral preference agreement, which affects the imports into the EU. Here, exporters e.g. from the ACP countries, or the OCT’s can profit from the preference certificate. As this is a unilateral agreement, it means that exporters from the EU are not preferential.
With the bilateral preference agreement with the EU, all companies, which are within the territory of the countries which have concluded the agreement, are preferential.
