4 年Thank you for these crucial informations. I'd like to emphasize on an important document that Algerian importers use for clearance which is EUR1, also known as a ‘movement certificate’, enables importers in certain countries to import goods at a reduced or nil rate of import duty under trade agreements between the EU and beneficiary countries. Chamber International is authorised to issue EUR1 certificates on behalf of H.M Revenue, So I don't know whether Brasil issue it for importers in Africa or not.
