CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN / EUR1

As a result of Israel’s Free Trade Agreement with the European Union, individuals and businesses wishing to export goods or ship personal items to Israel from EU countries may be entitled to a substantial discount in duty taxes or even a complete exemption.

Exporters must provide customs with a certificate of origin that declares the country in which their goods were manufactured. A standardized EUR1 form is used regarding exports from EU countries to Israel. 

A EUR1 form can save a lot of money. As part of Sonigo’s wide range of customs related services, our customs representatives fill out the EUR1 form on behalf of both individuals and businesses and deliver it to the relevant authorities in Israel, making sure that the necessary discount or exemption is properly applied. In most cases, a commercial invoice and transport document are also required.
