EUR-1 certificate

The EUR-1 certificate (movement certificate) is the standard proof of preferential origin for exports to countries with a bilateral EU trade agreement.

Practical meaning

Teams must apply for EUR-1 at customs before or upon export, or use the simplified procedure (approved exporter) to self-certify origin statements.

When it matters

Required for every preferential export where the importer wants to claim reduced or zero duties under a trade agreement.
