Documentation for Preferential Origin
To enable their customers in the country of destination to benefit from the terms of the preferential agreement, exporters must furnish a certificate of origin for products, which qualify for preference under the agreements. The evidence of origin required under the arrangements can vary.
The EUR1 movement certificate is used for all preferential countries except those benefiting from the EU’s GSP scheme. EUR1 forms are issued by the competent Customs Authority in the exporting country, be it an EU member state or partner country. In Ireland's case, the competent authority is the Revenue Commissioners. The required proof of origin for the EU’s GSP scheme is a Form A certificate, issued by the appropriate Customs Authority in the beneficiary country. For postal or low value consignments a Form EUR2 or an invoice declaration is appropriate.
For certain products destined to Turkey, a special form of Movement Certificate ATR is normally used, form ATR3 being used for postal consignments.
