The Passport for Preferential Trade
A EUR-MED Movement Certificate (EUR-MED Dolaşım Belgesi) is a vital customs document used in the context of the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean cumulative system of origin. It allows for the preferential movement of goods between member countries, significantly reducing or eliminating customs duties. Whether you are exporting industrial components from Turkey to the EU or importing raw materials from a Mediterranean partner, this certificate is the primary evidence of the “origin” of your goods.
In international logistics, the EUR-MED is more complex than a standard EUR.1 certificate because it involves “cumulation” rules. A mistranslated “Country of Origin,” an error in the “Description of Goods,” or a misunderstanding of the “Remarks” section regarding cumulation can lead to the immediate rejection of the certificate by customs authorities, resulting in heavy fines, delayed shipments, and the loss of tax exemptions.

Logistics Precision and Customs Compliance: Our Process
Translating a EUR-MED certificate requires an expert understanding of International Trade Law and Incoterms. Our process ensures your shipments clear customs without delay:
Trade & Customs Specialists: Your certificate is handled by a Sworn Translator who specializes in foreign trade. They are familiar with the specific phrasing required by the Ministry of Trade and international customs protocols, ensuring that technical terms like “Wholly Obtained,” “Sufficient Transformation,” and “Regional Cumulation” are rendered correctly.
ISO 17100:2015 Quality Standards:
- Box-by-Box Verification: We perform a meticulous audit of all 14 boxes of the certificate. This includes verifying the Exporter details (Box 1), Consignee details (Box 2), and ensuring the HS Codes (Harmonized System) match your commercial invoices exactly.
- Cumulation Language Audit: Box 7 (Remarks) is the most critical area of a EUR-MED. We ensure that the specific mandatory phrases (e.g., “Cumulation applied with…” or “No cumulation applied”) are translated according to the exact legal templates required by the destination country.
Layout Integrity: We maintain the standardized format of the EUR-MED certificate. This allows customs officers at the border to verify the data fields instantly, matching the translation to the original document’s layout.
Certified & Sworn Translation: We provide the official sworn translations required by customs brokers, international banks (for L/C compliance), and chambers of commerce.

Why Technical Accuracy is Essential for Your Bottom Line

HS Code Consistency: We ensure that the product descriptions in Box 8 align perfectly with the technical jargon used in the target country’s customs database, preventing classification disputes.
Authentication of Seals: We provide detailed translations of all “Customs Endorsement” stamps and “Exporter’s Declaration” signatures, ensuring the document is viewed as a verified and authentic state record.
