Box 2
Insert the name of the specific country of destination.
NB For Palestine Box 2 should read: The European Community and West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Box 3 - Consignee
You are recommended always to insert the name of the consignee, but you do not have to. However for exports to exhibitions outside the EC, which are later sent on to a preference-giving country, you must also insert the name and address of the exhibition.
Box 4 - Country (group of countries or territory in which the products are considered as originating)
This box is pre-printed “EC” on standard EUR1 forms (or “EEC” on older prints). If untrue, cross out “EC/EEC”, insert the correct country and initial the box.
N.B. For exports to Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein, you should normally insert “EEA” instead of “EC/EEC” in this box. One possible exception to this is if the rate of duty in Norway or Iceland for EC goods is lower than the EEA rate. This would happen where an EC preferential rate was already in existence when the EEA came into force, and will usually only apply to Chapters 1-24 products. Check with your customer prior to export. In such cases Box 4 should be left as it is.
Box 5 - Country of destination
Put the name of the individual country of destination.
Box 6 - Transport details
Leave this blank.
Box 7 - Remarks
Put one of the following endorsements, where necessary. Otherwise leave it blank.
“EUR-MED certificates” - Cumulation or no cumulation applied - please refer to section 4 for additional information.
“Duplicate” - Insert this if you are applying for a duplicate movement certificate EUR1/EUR-MED for example because the original has been lost. You must explain the reason (see paragraph 3.10).
“Issued retrospectively” - Insert these words if the goods have left the country before application for a movement certificate EUR1/EUR-MED is made. Also add, on page 4 under paragraph 1 of the application, “and that no movement certificate EUR1/EUR-MED for these goods has previously been issued” (see paragraph 3.11).
“Replacement of movement certificate EUR1 issued in ...........” - Put this if paragraph 7.1 applies, and insert the country concerned.
Box 8
Put item numbers and identifying marks and numbers in the space on the left-hand side of the box (but see also “Description of goods” below).
Item numbers - If different types of goods are shown separately on the invoice(s), show each type separately on the movement certificate EUR1/EUR-MED and itemise them (1, 2, 3 etc.). Leave no space between different items.
Identifying marks and numbers - Give identifying marks and numbers on the packages here. If the packages are addressed to the consignee, state the address. If they are not marked in any way, put “No marks and numbers”. If both originating and non-originating goods are packed together, add “Part contents only” at the end; the insertions should be made in the space on the left-hand side of the box (see also “Description of goods” below).
Number and kinds of packages for example bales, cartons, drums - Goods in bulk, which are not packed, insert “In bulk”. The quantity shown must be the same as or relatable to the quantity stated on the invoice for the goods. For example, if the invoice merely shows 100 cartons, and these are loaded on to 10 pallets, specify “100 cartons” not “10 pallets”.
Description of goods - Identify the goods by giving a reasonably full commercial description, for example “photocopiers” or “typewriters” instead of “office machinery”. However, if the invoices give full identifying details (which need not necessarily include details of the marks and numbers of the packages) only a general description is necessary. In such cases, you must fill in Box 10 showing the numbers and dates of the invoices (or dates only, if there are no numbers). If instead of invoices other evidence is given (see paragraph 3.5), then this way of filling in Box 8 cannot be used.
For Mexico and Chile – The 4 digit Tariff Heading must also be included in Box 8, otherwise the EUR1 will be rejected.
Mixed consignments - For consignments of both originating and non-originating goods, describe only the originating goods.
You may be unable to avoid showing non-originating goods on the invoices. If so, mark the invoice (for example, with an asterisk) to show which are non-originating goods. Then put an appropriate statement in Box 8 immediately below the description of the goods, for example:
Goods marked * on the invoice are non-originating and are not covered by this certificate EUR1/EUR-MED.
Unused Space
Draw a horizontal line under the only or final item in this box, and rule through the unused space with a “Z-shaped” line.
N.B. There is a possibility that there may be occasions where an “EUR-MED” consignment consists of items where there has been both Cumulation applied and No Cumulation applied.
In such instances, any accompanying documentation must be clearly indicated in terms of which statement applies to which item.
Box 9 - Gross weight or other measure
Imperial measure (for example tons, gallons) will be accepted but exporters are recommended whenever possible to give quantities in metric measure (only the gross weight of the goods preference is going to be claimed on should be included).
Box 10 - Invoices
Whenever possible, state the number(s), if any, and date(s) of the invoice(s) relating to the goods and produced with the movement certificate EUR1/EUR-MED.
See also Box 8 - Description of goods.
Box 11 - Customs endorsement
Leave this blank.
Box 12 - Declaration by the exporter
Any declaration you give must be accurate. Anyone making a false declaration in respect of the preferential origin of goods or failing to comply with other legal provisions may be liable to penalties.
N.B. Any amendments/corrections must be completed and signed by the declarant in Box 12 and endorsed by Customs or their authorised bodies.
