Thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated! specifically worded statement ======================== "Once you have established your goods qualify you must put a specifically worded statement on your commercial documents. This is the only acceptable proof of origin under the UK - EU trade agreement." Do you have a form of words for the "you must put a specifically worded statement"? This is what I have been trying to establish / find online. Certificate of Origin =============== What you stated about a certificate of origin from the Chamber of Commerce having no impact on receiving zero duty on entry to the EU is interesting and not something that I have read elsewhere. Generally they say that you do need a certificate of origin. So surprised. I am not going down this route anyway as I am trying to avoid the cost of buying a certificate of origin. It is just not worth it for the value of the sale.

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.
