            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2026/1183
of 2 June 2026
         
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 as regards procedural rules on the preferential origin of goods


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 25, first paragraph, point (c), and Article 66, first paragraph, point (a), thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (2) lays down, inter alia, the procedural rules, referred to in Article 64(1) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 (‘the Code’), to facilitate the establishment in the Union of the preferential origin of goods. Taking into account the end of the transition period until the full application of the Registered Exporter system (‘the REX system’) within the framework of the Generalised System of Preferences (‘the GSP’) of the Union, the extension of the REX system to Union exporters within the framework of Free Trade agreements of the Union, the specific questions raised about provisions currently in force or which may need to be included in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447, and the implementation of certain Free Trade agreement procedures requiring legislation at Union level, it is necessary to amend those rules accordingly.












(2)


In order to best accommodate the changes in the application of the procedural rules concerning the preferential origin of goods, the section on preferential origin should be restructured into subsections with new subsections related to preferential agreements, the REX system and the GSP. As a result of that restructuring, the current subsection 10, related to autonomous trade measures, should remain unchanged and become subsection 5, and subsections 11 and 12 should be renumbered subsection 6 and subsection 7 respectively.












(3)


It is necessary to introduce new definitions for the document on origin, the preferential agreement, the supplier, the customer and the originating status in order to achieve clarity in the application of the procedural rules for preferential origin of goods.












(4)


To support uniform access to and management of the approved exporter authorisations in the Union, the current provisions on the approved exporter authorisation should be simplified and limited to procedural provisions outside those specified in preferential agreements.












(5)


To ensure a uniform implementation across the Member States of options available to the Union by preferential agreements, procedural provisions should be introduced concerning accounting segregation, the acceptance of a document on origin for multiple shipments of identical products, the exemption from the obligation to provide documents on origin, the acceptance or imposition of conditions on a claim for preferential tariff treatment based on importer’s knowledge and the possibility to waive the requirement for a document on origin to be signed by the exporter.












(6)


To limit the administrative burden for the customs authorities as well as for economic operators, the replacement of documents on origin in the Union should be simplified and their verification facilitated by introducing administrative cooperation between Member States.












(7)


To increase the flexibility and reduce the administrative burden, the possibility of the acceptance of documents on origin after the expiry of their period of validity, as is currently applicable to statements on origin under the rules of the GSP scheme of the Union, should become applicable to all documents on origin and a respective legal framework for such acceptance should be introduced.












(8)


To enhance the administrative cooperation overall, the existing requirements on the notification of the respective competent authorities of the Member States, as are currently applicable to the administrative cooperation under the rules of the GSP scheme of the Union, should become applicable to the administrative cooperation with third countries under preferential agreements and in the field of the supplier’s declarations.












(9)


To avoid increasing the administrative burden for economic operators and for customs authorities, the threshold of EUR 6 000 up to which an exporter who is not a registered exporter may complete a document on origin should be maintained both for Union exporters and GSP beneficiary countries’ exporters. Nonetheless, where a preferential trade agreement between the Union and a third country explicitly states that exporters must indicate their identification number in the document on origin independently of the value of the exported goods, no threshold should be used by exporters. Moreover, to increase the transparency of transactions and allow for better monitoring, exporters who are registered in the Union and GSP beneficiary countries should always indicate their REX identification number in their statements on origin and origin declarations, independently of the value of the goods for which the statement or origin declaration is made out.












(10)


To streamline the existing provisions on the registration of exporters and re-consignors in the REX system, those provisions should be consolidated in subsection 2. That subsection should set out the scope of application of the REX system in the Union, including the procedural framework for that application, and in third countries, and should also cover provisions on the publication of the data contained in the REX system. The current provisions on the registered exporters’ database concerning the access rights to the database and the data protection should be deleted as they exist in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/512 (3).












(11)


To support and unify the practice of monitoring in the Member States, a provision should be added on the monitoring of registered exporters in the Union.












(12)


Following the end of the transition from the use of the certificate of origin Form A to self-certification with the REX system, the provisions on the procedural rules of preferential origin for the purposes of the GSP scheme of the Union, including the obligations of the beneficiary countries in respect of registration in the REX system and administrative cooperation, should be updated and grouped in a new subsection 3.












(13)


To enhance the supervision and monitoring of the beneficiary countries by the competent authorities, the provisions on the obligations of exporters should be streamlined, and an explicit obligation should be included for exporters to provide to the competent authorities of the beneficiary country with copies or lists of the statements on origin they have made out.












(14)


To limit the administrative burden both for the customs authorities and for economic operators, the provisions on the admissibility of a claim for preferential tariff treatment under the GSP scheme of the Union, as well as the provisions on the replacement of statements on origin, should be simplified.












(15)


To strengthen legal certainty and equal treatment of verification requests, the provision on the verification of claims for GSP preferential tariff treatment should be modified by removing the distinction between requests based on reasonable doubts and random requests, in line with the recent preferential agreements, and all requests should be based on risk assessment. In order to ensure the continued compliance of registered exporters with their obligations, the competent authorities of GSP beneficiary countries should carry out verifications of the originating status of products and regular controls on registered exporters.












(16)


In order to improve administrative cooperation between the Union, Norway and Switzerland, it is necessary to set up appropriate time limits to carry out in the Union the verifications of replacement statements on origin made out in Norway or Switzerland.












(17)


To strengthen the use of the rules under the GSP scheme of the Union, the procedural rules on the management of registrations in a beneficiary country should be simplified by removing the reference to ‘re-consignors’.












(18)


Consequently, to support the streamlined rules, certain Annexes to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (Annexes 22-02, 22-06, 22-08, 22-09 and 22-16 to 22-19) should be deleted, and Annexes 22-06A, 22-07, 22-15 and 22-20 should be modified. A new Annex 22-06B should be inserted.












(19)


To modernise customs procedures and ensure the secure and efficient management of proofs of origin, a central system of electronic Proof of origin Certificates (the EU e-PoC system) should be established. This system should be made available to Member States and, where provided for in preferential agreements of the Union, to third countries, to replace the current use of paper certificates with a fully electronic process. The introduction of the EU e-PoC system is necessary to harmonise the issuance, verification and exchange of proofs of origin, improve the security of transactions and data, and automate authenticity controls. By facilitating the dematerialisation of documents, this system should also ease goods import and export formalities, thereby simplifying customs procedures for both customs authorities and economic operators.












(20)


The Commission should ensure the interconnection of the EU e-PoC system with national customs systems via the European Union Customs Single Window Certificate Exchange System (EU CSW-CERTEX) established by Regulation (EU) 2022/2399 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), for the purpose of enabling the automated exchange of information between Member States’ national customs systems and the EU e-PoC system. The interconnection aims to streamline the verifications of movement certificates EUR.1 in the EU e-PoC system during customs clearance. Article 17 of Appendix 1 to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean Preferential Rules of Origin (5) provides that ‘two or more Contracting Parties may agree among them to establish a system that allows proofs of origin listed in paragraph 1 to be issued electronically and/or submitted electronically. On 7 December 2023, the pan-Euro-Mediterranean Joint Committee adopted revised rules of origin under the PEM Convention with an implementation date of 1 January 2025. To facilitate this transition, the Commission should establish the EU e-PoC system, ensuring that the electronic certification of origin is implemented in accordance with the minimum conditions for electronic certificates adopted by the Joint Committee.












(21)


In order to adapt the supplier’s declaration to actual production and supply chains and to requirements pertaining to the establishment of preferential origin by exporters and its verification by customs authorities, the supplier’s declaration should be based on a list of standardised and codified data elements, which would facilitate their electronic exchange and processing between suppliers and exporters. In respect of the verification of supplier’s declarations, the process should be streamlined by applying solely administrative cooperation between the customs authorities of the Member States.












(22)


In order to allow the customs authorities of the Member States sufficient time to prepare for the changes to the provisions related to the supplier’s declaration, the application of those provisions should be deferred.












(23)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(24)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

The requesting customs authorities shall carry out the verification on the basis of the initial document on origin, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the preferential agreement concerned.


5.   Paragraphs 1, 2 and 4 shall also apply to the replacement of replacement documents on origin.

ANNEX 22-15
Supplier’s declaration referred to in Article 61(3)
TITLE I

DATA REQUIREMENTS


CHAPTER 1



Introductory notes to the data requirements table










1.


This Annex describes the data elements (D.E.) required as particulars of the supplier’s declaration, in accordance with Article 61(3) of this Regulation.
Those data elements are organised in data groups (D.G.) and, where appropriate, data sub-groups (D.SG.). A D.E. number is composed of three digits and structured as follows: [1st digit: D.G. number].[2nd digit: D.SG. number – in the absence of D.SG., that number is zero][3rd digit: sequential number].












2.


The data elements which may be provided for each type of supplier’s declaration are set out in the data requirements table in Chapter 3. Chapter 2 provides information on data requirements table column headings and data groups.












3.


The data requirements table in Chapter 3 determines the status of each data element; meaning whether it is mandatory (“M”) or optional (“O”) for the supplier, and whether it is relevant at declaration (“D”) or item (“I”) level. Blank boxes in columns 3 to 8 of the table mean that there is no such status for the D.E. at stake, insofar as the column is concerned. The optional status of a data element for the supplier as determined in this Annex is without prejudice to contractual arrangements between the supplier and the customer providing otherwise.












4.


The “M” or “O” symbols have no bearing on the fact that certain data elements are required only where the type of supplier’s declaration or the circumstances warrant it. They may be complemented by conditions or clarifications listed in Notes of the data requirements table in Chapter 3.












5.


The specific provisions and codes in relation to data requirements set out in Title II shall apply without prejudice to the status of the data element concerned, as defined in the data requirements table in Chapter 3.












6.


Without affecting the obligation for the supplier to provide data in accordance with this Annex and without prejudice to Article 61(4) and (5), the content of the data provided by the supplier to the customer for a given requirement is based on the information as known by the supplier at the time the supplier’s declaration is provided to the customer.












7.


In pdf or printed versions of the supplier’s declarations, codes may be replaced by their meaning in plain language.
