Trouble-free customs clearance.
Trouble-free customs clearance.
Customs clearance is mandatory when goods are exported to countries which are not part of the European Union. We have compiled all the information you need about exports and customs, such as details of commercial and pro forma invoices.
According to current customs regulations, all shipments of goods or documents to non-EU countries must be declared. This means that the shipment must be accompanied by a commercial invoice or pro forma invoice. The commercial invoice is issued if the goods are of commercial value. A pro forma invoice is issued if the goods have no commercial value.
The document provides information about the consignor and the consignee and above all contains a complete description of the contents of the shipment, together with details of their value. The declaration must be signed by the consignor. One original and three copies must accompany the shipment.
Here you will find an online form with which you can create your commercial invoice or pro forma invoice and then print it out on your company stationery.
The EUR 1 movement certificate is a preference document for goods which are produced in the EU. This entitlement to preference can be important for the calculation of the import duties which the consignee of the goods has to pay. The certificates are created by the consignor on the relevant standard form and submitted to the customs department for export purposes. The forms are available from the chamber of commerce.
The EUR 1 certificate is valid for the shipment of goods within the European Economic Area (EEA) and to the following countries: Egypt, Algeria, Bulgaria, Israel, Jordan, Ex- Yugoslavia (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Croatia, Macedonia), Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, South Africa, Chile, Mexico, Albania, Andorra, states of the African, Caribbean and Pacific area and overseas territories.
Our online guide will show you how to make all the required entries correctly.
Disposition is the principal document used by the employer (sender or receiver) for giving out an order to an authorised shipper to represent him in the customs procedure. With his/hers certified disposition, the employer is responsible for the accuracy of data according to the customs law and is liable to customs law for all the irregularities that are registered but do not match the actual state of things.
