Following recent assurances received from Serbia regarding giving preference on Community goods, HMRC have agreed that EUR1 Certificates can now be issued for any consignments being sent to Serbia, provided of course that the goods meet the current rules.

Hence, the position now is that EUR1s can be issued for permanently exported goods destined for the countries listed in Para. 1.4 of Customs Notice 827 (Jan 2007) plus Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and now Serbia.

For Kosovo, the ACP, the OCT and other GSP beneficiary countries, goods may only be exported to these countries using Donor Country Content regulations (see Notice 827 Para. 9.6) and goods being permanently exported to these countries should not have an EUR1 issued for them.
