EC Certificate of Origin
a certificate needed to meet overseas customs requirements to qualify for (normally) zero import duty as part of International Trade agreements. Sometimes also needed to comply with banking requirements where trade is conducted under Letters of Credit.

EUR1
Customs Movement Certificate issued in the country of export to enable claims for preferential import duty levels on goods being exported to EC preferential partner countries.

A.TR
Customs Movement Certificate for goods in EC free circulation (i.e. duty paid) being exported to Turkey. A.TR allows import into Turkey without payment of customs duty.

Letters of Credit
A safe instrument of payment offering secure terms for buyers and sellers, whereby the seller is guaranteed payment through a bank if the terms of the letter of credit are fulfilled. Some Chambers offer a management and processing service for Letters of Credit ensuring swift and efficient settlement.

ATA Carnets
many Chambers can provide ATA Carnets which are international customs documents, allowing the temporary import, outside the EC, of certain goods, free of customs duties and taxes. They are commonly used by business travelers carrying samples or by professional people taking equipment with them and for goods being displayed at overseas trade fairs and exhibitions.
