Registered exporter
In order to obtain the tariff benefit, the agreement will include the method of accreditation of the customs origin of the goods.
In this sense, to accredit the customs origin of the merchandise and consequently to obtain the preferential benefit, the figure of the REGISTERED EXPORTER (REX) will be included.
The application for authorization as a registered exporter (REX) is available in electronic format at the AEAT headquarters.
ZERO Tariff [REX System]
In anticipation of a possible agreement in this sense, the Moldtrans Group recommends having the authorization as a “Registered Exporter”, thus benefiting from the ZERO tariff with the sole inclusion in the commercial invoice of a specific declaration justifying the preferential origin of the goods.
Documentary requirements –Zero Tariff
At the end of 2020 the European Union and the United Kingdom reached an AGREEMENT that includes a Free Trade Agreement for goods. This agreement allows goods with EU or UK customs origin to benefit from preferential tariff treatment, being in most cases a 0% tariff, provided that several documentary requirements are met.
Below you will find the documentary requirements for export transactions with the United Kingdom.
