• A Commercial Invoice and packing list
• If you have authorised another company to sign the EUR1 on your behalf, then you also need to submit a Letter of Authorisation
• If the goods were shipped before the Certificate is issued, then you will also need to submit proof of shipment (bill of lading, airway bill, CMR note etc). Box 7 on the Certificate will need to state “Issued retrospectively”.
