We make the occasional sale of bespoke-made soft-furnishing products to retail customers in the EU. These are made in the UK and mostly use UK-manufactured fabric. Up to now, the retail customers have just paid the 10% import duty on these goods, even though we have stated that the country of origin is the United Kingdom. I have looked into purchasing a Certificate of Origin from a Chamber of Commerce but this is costing about £70 per certificate (or order). Which in most cases is not financially worth it. Are there alternatives things we can do that will enable our customers to avoid paying the import duty when it arrives in the EU? Templates or examples would be greatly appreciated. I have read about Origin Declarations being a possible solution. Thanks in advance.
