Article 20 (“Conditions for Making Out an Invoice Declaration”) and 27 (“Preservation of Proof of Origin and Supporting Documents”) of the rules of origin protocol of the EU-Colombia, Peru, Ecuador Trade Agreement

The invoice declaration is made out by the exporter to self-declare the origin of its product.

  • The invoice declaration can be made out:
    • by an approved exporter or;
    • by any exporter provided that the total value of the consignment does not exceed € 6 000.
  • The exporter makes out an invoice declaration based on information demonstrating that the product is originating, including information on the originating status of the materials used in the production of the product (such a supplier's declaration).
  • The exporter is responsible for the invoice declaration and the information provided being correct and should be prepared to submit all appropriate documents proving the originating status of the products at the request of customs authorities.

How to make out an invoice declaration

  • The exporter should type, stamp or print the following declaration (as mentioned in Appendix 4) on the invoice or any other commercial document which describes the products concerned in sufficient detail to enable them to be identified (e.g. delivery note or packing list):

 

The exporter of the products covered by this document (customs [or competent governmental]
authorisation No … (1)) declares that, except where otherwise clearly indicated, these products are of
… preferential origin (2).
................................................... (3) (Place and date)
....................................................(4) (Name (in clear script) and signature of the exporter)

(1) Put your approved exporter authorization number (for consignments above €6 000).
(2) Put the origin of your product, either EU or EU, Columbia, Peru, or Ecuador.
(3) Place and date, if not otherwise indicated on the invoice/document.
(4) Name (in clear script) and signature of the exporter. An approved exporter may, within the scope
of his authorisation, be waived from the obligation of signature and in so doing does not need to give the name
of the signatory.

 

  • The declaration can be made in any official language of the EU or official languages of the FTA trade partner according to the language versions in the Appendix 4

Validity and record keeping.

  • The invoice declaration is valid for 12 months from the date it was made out.
  • The exporter must keep a copy of the origin declaration and all other records demonstrating that the product is originating for a minimum of 3 years after making out the origin declaration.
