Article 2 Form EUR.2 shall be completed by the exporter.

In addition, each part must bear  the distinctive sign attributed to the approved printer and a serial number. Article 3 A form EUR.2 shall be  completed for each postal consignment. After completing and signing the two parts of the form, the exporter  shall, in the case of consignments by parcel post attach the two parts to the despatch note.
