A guide to ensuring your EUR1 is correct for mixed-origin shipments
Do you want to use preferential duties but ship a mixed-origin consignment? Don’t fret! You can still use an EUR1 to cover the preference products, even if they are packed together with non-originating goods, by following the steps below: Complete your EUR1 form as normal, following the guidance here: How to complete the movement certificate - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). Part contents only: this statement should appear in the ‘marks and numbers’ section of box 8 on an EUR1 if both originating and non-originating goods are packed together. 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 or a star) to show which are non-originating goods. Then put an appropriate statement in box 8 immediately below the description of the goods: ‘Goods marked with a star on the invoice are non-originating and are not covered by this certificate EUR1’. Gross weight: Only the gross weight of the goods for which preference is going to be claimed on should be included. If this is not possible, the full weight can be shown but may not be accepted by customs overseas. If you are showing the total gross weight of both originating and non-originating goods, please add the following in the notes to Chamber section of your application: ‘I understand the Chamber will not be held responsible for rejection of this EUR1 on the grounds of weight discrepancy’. Print out or receive your validated EUR1!
