Exports to many countries outside the EU require an origin document stating the country from which the product originates. Normally, a Certificate of Origin (CvO) is used. However some countries the EU, have preferential deals, so you require a EUR1 document, or a EUR-MED document, for countries with which the European Union has trade agreements. These documents entitle you to a reduction of import duties and in some cases even an exemption. You can request a Certificate of Origin, EUR 1 document or EUR-MED document digitally, or in writing from your local Chamber of Commerce.
