What is an EUR1 Certificate?

An EUR1 certificate is used to prove the provenance of goods entering the territory of the European Union (EU). The certificate permits traders to import items from specific nations at a reduced or no tariff rate.

The preferential treatment only applies to countries who have formalized such trade agreements with the EU.
