Export Training – Understanding Rules Of Origin, Free Trade Agreements And Export Preference

As Exporters and Importers, we should be encouraged to trade with countries which we have preferential trading agreements with. As exporters we are often asked to supply EUR1 and ATR Movement Certificates with the consignment so that our customers can import the goods either duty free or at a reduced rate.
