Important Information: EUR1 Movement Certificates
An EUR1, also known as a ‘movement certificate’, enables importers in certain countries to import goods at a reduced or nil rate of import duty under trade agreements between the UK and partner countries.
EUR1S FOR SERBIA AND ALBANIA
We have received confirmation from HMRC that Chambers can now issue EUR1’s for Albania and Serbia. As a reminder, Jordan has now entered back onto the list of countries that can be provided with a UK EUR1 also. Full guidance information on EUR1 forms can be found on the GOV. UK website.
For further information please speak with our International Trade team on 01223 237414 or email internationaltrade@ cambscci.co.uk EUR1 DECLARATIONS UPDATED
HMRC have now updated their guidance for the declarations to be made on page 4 of an EUR1 application as follows:
(a) Exporters who have manufactured/produced the exported goods
‘The goods shown on the movement certificate were **manufactured/produced by the exporter and are classified under (4 figure tariff heading). They satisfy the appropriate qualifying process in the preferential agreement **Delete where appropriate
(bi) Exporters who have bought in goods for export in the same state (goods manufactured/produced in the UK)
‘The goods shown on the movement certificate were **manufactured/produced in the UK and are classified under (4 figure tariff heading). Evidence of their originating status in one of the forms specified on GOV.UK is held by **me/us.’ ** Delete where appropriate
(bii) Exporters who have bought in goods for export in the same state (goods **manufactured/produced in any other country)
‘The goods were imported from…………………… (Name of country) under cover of a **movement certificate /invoice declaration and are being re-exported in the same state. The goods are classified under…………’ (4 figure tariff heading). ** Delete where appropriate According to HMRC, this declaration can only be used in very specific circumstances relating to the UK Israel FTA. These declarations will be updated on electronic systems.
REPLACEMENT EUR1’S
HMRC have said that they cannot think of any circumstances where it would now be appropriate to issue a Replacement EUR1 though they are still referred to in some of the guidance.
If you feel you need to issue a replacement EUR1 please speak to our International Trade team for guidance by calling 01223 237414.

Origin Exclusions on a Certificate of Origin
If you are excluding goods from a Certificate of Origin application and stating (for example) this document covers lines 2, 5 and 7 on invoice number XXX you need to provide an explanation as to why. This can be a covering note for manual applications or an email note or system note for electronic applications. It should not be a common occurrence to exclude items as all exporters should be actively seeking to confirm origin / manufacturer information when purchasing goods. This requirement comes into effect immediately, and the Chamber will consider each application individually.
For clarification please speak to our International Trade team on 01223 237414.
