A.TR Documents

A.TR documents may only be issued after the CSC department has verified that the goods (and the underlying lots) have Union customs status.
Only trained and authorized personnel may issue documents according to the respective authorizations:

  • A.TR: issued under the company’s Approved Exporter Authorization

A.TR documents are issued solely for movements of goods within the framework of the EU-Turkey Customs Union, for the purpose of proving free-circulation status, not origin.

CSC verifies that:

  • All lots comprising the shipment are in Union free-circulation status.

  • The goods are eligible for A.TR certification under the EU-Turkey Customs Union framework based on the destination being Turkey.

If inconsistencies appear, the request is held until corrected.

As soon as it is confirmed that the goods are eligible for issuing an A.TR CSC will issue an A.TR together with the Export declaration in accordance with the procedure as prescribed by Dutch Customs, which can be found here:
