Good afternoon! I will gladly help you understand this order of the Ministry of Finance.
1. **Essence of the order:**
The order introduces changes to regulatory legal acts governing the issuance of EUR.1 and EUR-MED certificates, as well as the granting of the status of an authorized (approved) exporter. These changes are related to the ratification by Ukraine of the decisions of the Joint Committee of the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin, which adapt Ukrainian legislation to updated international rules.
2. **Structure and main provisions:**
The order consists of a preamble, the main part, amendments to regulatory legal acts and final provisions. It amends two main documents:
* The Procedure for filling out and issuing by customs a certificate of carriage (origin) of goods EUR.1 or EUR-MED.
* The Procedure for granting and canceling by customs the status of an authorized (approved) exporter.
The main changes concern:
* Clarification of the procedure for issuing EUR.1 and EUR-MED certificates, in particular, in cases of retrospective issuance and replacement of certificates.
* Supplementing the list of documents required to obtain a certificate with a supplier’s declaration for materials.
* Settlement of issues regarding refusal to issue a certificate and re-application.
* Clarification of the conditions for granting and canceling the status of an authorized (approved) exporter.
3. **The most important provisions:**
* The possibility of issuing an EUR.1 certificate retrospectively (after export) in cases where there was no information about the final destination of the goods at the time of export.
* Requirement to submit a supplier’s declaration for materials to confirm the preferential origin of the goods.
* The exporter’s right to re-apply for a certificate after eliminating the reasons for refusal.
* Clarification of the procedure for verification (verification of authenticity) of EUR.1 and EUR-MED certificates.
