How to Complete an EUR1 Form

An EUR1 certificate (also known as a ‘movement certificate’) allows goods to be imported into certain countries at reduced or zero duty. Completing the form correctly is vital — here's what you need to know, box by box:

Box 1 – Exporter
You must be a UK or Isle of Man-based company, or be acting on behalf of one. If you’re exporting from the Channel Islands, your EUR1 must be stamped there.

Box 2 – Destination
Insert the name of the specific destination country.

Box 3 – Consignee
Add the consignee’s name (optional, but recommended).

Box 4 – Origin
Pre-filled as “UK”.

Box 5 – Country of Destination
Repeat the destination country here.

Box 6 – Transport Details
Leave blank.

Box 7 – Remarks
Include only if applicable. Common examples:

• “Duplicate” – if the original was lost
• “Issued retrospectively” – if applied after goods have left the UK

Box 8 – Goods Description & Packaging Details

• List each item separately and clearly (1, 2, 3...)
• Include identifying marks, number and type of packages, and a clear product description
• For bulk goods: state “In bulk”
• For mixed consignments: clearly mark originating and non-originating goods
• Finish with a “Z” line to cross out unused space

Box 9 – Weight/Measure
Add gross or net weight in metric if possible.

Box 10 – Invoices
Include invoice numbers and dates (where applicable).

Box 11 – Customs Endorsement
Leave blank.

Box 12 – Declaration by Exporter
Your signature here confirms accuracy — and carries legal responsibility. Any edits must be signed and endorsed.

Application Page Notes:
Include your declaration type (a or b), tariff heading, and any evidence of UK origin. Use the format provided for either manufacturers or traders.
