How to apply, if your products(s) can enjoy tariff concessions:
 

The ESFTA only requires the importer, exporter or manufacturer to make a declaration of the originating status of the product. For the purpose of obtaining preferential tariff treatment in another Party, a proof of origin in the form of an origin declaration shall be completed by an exporter of a Party for products which can be considered as products originating in a Party and which fulfil the other requirement.
