Preference Documents EUR1 and ATR1
Chamber International is authorised to issue EUR1 and ATR1 certificates on behalf of HM Revenue & Customs.
What is an EUR1?
An EUR1 is a certificate more commonly known as a movement certificate, which enables importers in certain countries to import goods under ‘preference’, which means that your customer pays a lower or nil rate of import duty on your goods. You must make a declaration on the form that your goods satisfy the rules of origin as detailed in Customs Notice 832 (Mexico), 829 (Syria) and 828 (the remainder of the preference giving countries). These rules are reciprocal, i.e. they also apply to goods being imported into the EC under preference.
Where can I get supplies of forms?

How do I complete an EUR1?
Please refer to Customs Notice 827, Section 10.
What supporting documents does Chamber International require in order to endorse my certificate?
We will need a copy of your commercial invoice, payment for the fees (non-members only) and a SAE if documents are required to be returned by post.
