An A.TR.1 certificate is a document used in customs between EU-countries and Turkey. ATR stands for Admission Temporaire Roulette.
When the A.TR.1 certificate is issued on certain goods, it allows them to benefit from tariff preferences. This basically means that the rate of duty will be cheaper or non-existent.
The A.TR.1 certification is a special customs agreement between EU and Turkey. It is not based on the origin of the goods. Rather, it testifies that a certain product has gone through the ATR clearance and is now in free circulation.
An A.TR.1-certificate is never strictly required, but it can be very beneficial when shipping between Turkey and EU-countries. With this certificate, you avoid custom duties, making it a must for most import or export companies.
To qualify for an ATR-certification, the goods in question must be in circulation in either Turkey or a EU-country. Other than that, the following categories are covered:
• Industrial products
• Agricultural products
• Products from the ECSC (European Coal and Steel Community)
A CMR transport document is based on the CMR convention, which establishes rules of ownership and responsibility for goods being transported by road. Therefore, the definition of CMR is not a document or a contract, but an international convention.
With a CMR document (known as both CMR freight and transportation document) the rules of the convention are established between a trading company and a carrying company. When signing, both parties agree to a set number of conditions.
A CMR document is the standard contract of carriage in Europe. Multiple countries of Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia are also part of the convention.
If your company is transporting goods by road in any of the membered states you need to fill out a CMR document. This ensures you of two things:
• The carrying company can not refuse or cancel your shipment
• You have more legal protection in case anything happens to the goods
All goods transported by road between the countries included in the CMR Convention are covered by the CMR document. It is however very important that you fill out the document correctly. If not, the sending of goods may not be properly covered.
An ATA Carnet is a customs and temporary export-import document. It is used to clear customs in 87 countries and territories without paying import taxes on merchandise that will be re-exported within 12 months.
Almost all thinkable goods can be part of an ATA Carnet. For instance, electrical products, tools, commercial samples, products that are part of exhibitions etc. However, consumable items – such as food, seeds, fertilizer etc. cannot be part of an ATA Carnet.
The EUR1 certificate is a form that is used in international commodity traffic. The certificate is used to certify the origin of a product. And furthermore, it enables importers in certain countries to import goods at a lower import duty under agreements between the EU and beneficiary countries.
The applicant for the EUR1 (the exporter) must first be able to prove the origin of the goods. This is usually done via presentation of the supplier invoice stating the product origin. The exporter then fills in the EUR1 application form, and hands it over to the competent authorities (usually the customs office) along with the supplier’s invoice. The authorities certify the form with a stamp and send it back to the exporter.
A food health certificate is a document that proves that you as an exporter of foods uphold the rules regarding the export.
If you export food, animal products, or living animals, you are required to uphold the rules from the recipient country regarding transport and storage of regulated, grown or processed items. A food health certificate is used to document that everything is in order.
Whenever the export consists of any kind of food, a food health certificate is required. It could, for instance, be carvings of meat, living animals and processed foods.
A Certificate of Origin identifies the origin of goods being exported and is issued by a Chamber of Commerce. The document is required by customs in the receiving country in order to determine tariff rates and the origin of the goods. The Certificate of Origin contains information regarding the product, its destination, and the country of export.
A Certificate of Origin must be produced every time goods are shipped internationally. The form is required by many treaty agreements for cross-border trade, and the form is important because it will help determine whether certain goods are eligible for import or whether goods, on the contrary, are subject to duties.
