EU trade agreements and proof of origin
Whether there is a trade agreement with the European Union in the market you sell to, and which document you have to issue so your customer pays less duty.
This tool does not give you the tariff rate, and that is deliberate: the exact rate depends on your eight-digit heading, moves with quotas and suspensions, and is published by the Commission. Copying it here would mean keeping a figure that quietly goes stale. What it does answer is the question that actually holds up an order: whether there is an agreement with that destination and what you have to issue — an A.TR, a EUR.1 or an origin declaration with REX — for the preference to apply. That is structure, not a quotation, and it is what nobody explains to you until the goods are stuck.
There is an agreement with the European Union
Association agreement: there is a preference, phased in over time and with exceptions, mostly in agriculture.
What you have to issue
A EUR.1 certificate, stamped by customs on export. Below the threshold you can replace it with an origin declaration on the invoice; above it, either you are an approved exporter or every shipment travels with its EUR.1.
Threshold without registration: €6,000 · Below this amount per consignment, any exporter can declare origin on the invoice without being registered.
And what nobody checks until it is late
An agreement existing does not mean your product qualifies. You have to meet the rule of origin for your heading — how much transformation must happen in the Union — and be able to prove it with cost breakdowns and your suppliers’ declarations. If your customer uses the preference and their customs later audits it, you are the one who answers.
Regime reviewed in 2026-09
The scope is exporting from the Union: what your customer is charged on import. It is not GSP, which is the preference the Union grants to goods arriving from developing countries and runs the other way. The table carries its review date and does not claim to be exhaustive: a destination that does not appear is not a destination without an agreement, it is one this tool makes no claim about. The rate, the quota and the rule of origin for your heading are published by Access2Markets, which is the source that counts.
