Vehicles being exported from the European Union to destinations outside the EU must be properly declared to customs before leaving the European customs territory.

At JP Exchange Autos, we assist our customers with the necessary export documentation and customs formalities to help ensure a smooth international vehicle export process.

Depending on the destination and shipping requirements, a customs export document may be required for:

• International vehicle shipping and transportation
• Import customs clearance in the destination country
• Applying for a EUR.1 certificate, where applicable
• Supporting the tax-free export procedure

Once the vehicle has officially left the European Union, the customs authorities at the EU’s external border provide the required confirmation of export. This customs documentation serves as important proof for the seller when applying the applicable zero-rated VAT treatment for exports, subject to the relevant tax and customs requirements.
