EU and New Zealand signed a Free Trade Agreement

The Commission has published a guidance document on the application of the rules of origin set out in the EU New Zealand Free Trade Agreement which entered into force on 1 May 2024.

Under this Agreement, EU exporters that are shipping consignments of EU originating products above EUR 6 000 need to make out a statement of origin for those products to allow importers in New Zealand to claim preferential tariffs. To do this the EU exporter must be registered in the REX system and state their REX number on that statement.

Please check the page REX - Registered Exporter system for more information.
