Official Notice 6 - Guidance on Applying for a UK EUR1 Certificate on behalf of another company

This notice provides guidance for applications who wish to apply for a UK EUR1 Certificate on behalf of another company.

1. Authorisation Requirements

If you intended to apply for a UK EUR1 on behalf of another company, you must first obtain a Letter of Authority from that company.

·       The Letter of Authority must clearly state you have permission to make the application on their behalf. It must be completed on headed paper and signed by the company. The only time you do not require a Letter of Authorisation is if you are making the application for a foreign entity of your own company.

·       You must also provide a copy of the invoice issued by your customer showing the transaction of the goods from the exporter to the consignee.

These documents must demonstrate the relationship between the applicant and the exporter.

2. Completion of Box 1 – Exporter Details

When applying on behalf of another company Box 1 must be completed as follows:

[Full name and address of UK Applicant] on behalf of [Full name of Exporter]

NOTE – We only require the full name of the exporter.

3. When you are the exporter

If you are the exporter but your customer has requested the certificate, you may submit the application in your own name using your own invoice.

This is appropriate when you export directly to your customers customer or where your customer prefers not to share their invoice.

4. Key Consideration

Applications should ensure the UK EUR1 certificate accurately reflects the export transaction and that the details of the applicant, exporter and consignee are presented clearly. Incorrect information or incomplete applications may result in the application being delayed or rejected.
