RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN AUTHENTICATING DOCUMENTS

EUR.1 CIRCULATION CERTIFICATE:

 1- Certifications cannot contain non-erasable or over-written words. Corrections are made by crossing out incorrect entries and adding necessary corrections. Such corrections should be initialed by the company issuing the certificate and approved by the customs refund authority of the issuing country.

2- Items entered on the certificate should not leave gaps, and each item should have a sequence number placed before it. A horizontal line should be drawn just below the last item. This is a rule that makes it impossible to later add to unused spaces.

A.TR CIRCULATION CERTIFICATE:

1- There should be no deletions or additions on the certificate. Corrections should be made by crossing out incorrect entries and, if necessary, writing the correct ones. These corrections, made in this way, must be signed by the party issuing the certificate and certified by the customs administration.

RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN AUTHENTICATING DOCUMENTS 

* When filling out the aforementioned documents and submitting them for authentication to the chamber, it is mandatory to bring along a copy of an invoice.

* For companies not registered with our Chamber, if they apply to our Chamber for authentication, they must provide a document from the Chamber where they are registered, indicating that they are engaged in activities there.

 This activity document must be renewed by the company on a monthly basis and submitted to our chamber.

 * A.TR, EUR.1, and FORM A documents will not be issued a Certificate of Origin at the same time. In this regard, our exporting firms should be careful not to include a clause in the letter of credit requiring the issuance of a Certificate of Origin.

- Second invoice authentications issued in English are not authenticated by our Chamber. However, if the authentic copy of the invoice with a fiscal stamp is submitted to our chamber and matches the second invoice, authentication can be performed.

All the aforementioned documents must be filled out meticulously, and the seal and authorized signature of the exporting firms must be present on all copies.
