Invoice. Packing list.
Delivery note. If your business document doesn't have enough space to contain all the information, you can include it in a separate letterhead refill. Separate letterhead will not be accepted. Business documents and continuation documents must clearly refer to each other.
You can declare offers for different goods on the same document. You need to clearly identify and show both originating and non-originating goods.
The declaration of origin must be submitted to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) within 2 years from the date of import of your goods.
You should check the validity of the declaration of origin in the relevant ** agreement.
If the agreement states that you must be an "approved exporter".
Under the agreement, you may only be able to use a declaration of origin for goods over £5,400 if you have applied for and been granted exporter status.
If you have been approved as an exporter, you are not required to present a declaration of origin to HMRC for inspection before exporting to the following countries:
Customs. Office of the Chamber of Commerce.
Office of the Association of Chartered Shipbrokers.
To apply, you must prove to HMRC that:
You regularly export or intend to export goods.
Exported goods comply with the relevant rules of origin and are eligible for preferential documentation.
You will fill out the documents correctly and keep them safe.
If you are an approved exporter and you confirm in writing that you accept the full responsibility of the declaration, you can complete the declaration of origin without signing. As part of obtaining approved exporter status, you must obtain approval from HMRC (known as a "signature waiver") to do so.
If you are not approved for a signature exemption from HMRC, you must sign a declaration of origin.
If the agreement does not mention "Approved Exporter".
You can fill out a declaration of origin for consignments of any value, but you must include your EORI number in the declaration of origin.
Knowledge of the importer.
In some agreements, importers may use their knowledge of the origin of imported goods to claim preferences. This is known as "importer's knowledge". This can be used in lieu of a declaration of origin.
You will need supporting documentation or records, which should include:
Commodity**. A brief description of the production process (including the origin of the goods used).
If the origin criterion is "fully obtained", the categories applicable (e.g. harvesting, mining or fishing, and production sites).
If the country of origin is based on "adequately processed or processed", please provide one of the following information:
The value of the product and the value of all non-originating materials or originating materials used in the production (as the case may be, to meet the value requirements).
The weight of the product and the weight of the relevant non-originating material or originating material used in the product (as the case may be, to comply with the weight requirements).
A list of all non-originating materials, including their commodity** (in or 6-digit numeric format, depending on the country of origin criteria).
If the goods have been altered or modified.
If requested by HMRC, any additional information that would help verify the origin of the goods.
If you or the consignee are unable to provide this information for commercial reasons, you should use a declaration of origin.

As long as the information in the declaration does not indicate an error in the statement therein, an obvious error in the declaration of origin will be accepted.
