Documents & conditions (EU)

The full set of EU document conditions for this code. Which ones actually apply depends on the specific measure and the origin of the goods — pick what applies to your consignment. Import scenario.

Documents to choose between

These measures are answered with one document from each group — either the certificate, or a declaration that the act does not apply to the goods. Giving two from one group is a contradiction and customs rejects the entry.
