PANEUROMED area: reminder of original evidence to be provided until 31 December 2025
On 11 August the European Commission published the Official Journal of the EU No 2025/1728 to amend the Regulations under the Customs Code concerning the procedure for issuing origin declarations from suppliers more commonly known as CSD/DLT (short-term declaration/long-term declaration).
These declarations are necessary to apply the concept of cumulation of origin when a European manufacturer brings in deemed components « originating » a part of the PANEUROMED area in a finished product for which he himself wishes to declare preferential origin.
Take the example of a company exporting custom glasses to Tunisia: a French company buys the glasses from a supplier in Switzerland and then carries out a transformation which consists of adding a logo obtained by engraving and/or printing on the branches of the glasses. According to the rules of transformation, customising glasses in France does not make it possible to obtain European preferential origin. However, by applying the cumulation of origin in the PANEUROMED area, the French company may declare a preferential origin at the time of export to Tunisia and may have a EUR1 certificate issued invoking the application of cumulation of origin. To do this, the French company must be able to justify the Swiss origin of the glasses through the declaration of origin of the supplier (DCT/DLT) whose models are available as an annex to the PANEUROMED Convention.
As a reminder, the NAPEUROMED Convention is currently in a phase of simplification and harmonisation of the transformation rules. To date, not all parts of the area have ratified the new rules. Therefore, publication 2025/1728 states that suppliers must include in the declarations a reference to the legal framework used to determine the origin of the goods: either they invoke modernized rules or the original rules. In the event that clarification is not provided, the authorities will consider that the original rules have been applied.
The Regulation also recalls the conditions for obtaining such CSD/DLT ex post. Indeed, it is possible for suppliers to make their declarations at any time, even after delivery of the goods within 12 months of dispatch and 6 months after signature of the declaration.
