Can your product(s) enjoy this FTA's tariff concessions?
 

Step 1: Find out what is the preferential rate offered for your product

 
  • Products from Chapter HS 25-97 are duty-free
  • Tariff concessions for products from Chapter 1-24
  • Products not awarded tariff concessions

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.
