In the framework of the Common Commercial Policy, the European Union has set as a priority to facilitate the access of European businesses to third country markets by concluding trade agreements with a large number of partners. As a result, there is a mutually favorable tariff treatment between the EU and these countries, with reduction or even exemption of duties.
The origin of these goods should be verified for them to be subject to a preferential tariff status and for this reason, the certificate of preferential origin (e.g. EUR1) should be presented to the customs office.
