Avoid paying VAT when buying from a European supplier on EXW or FCA terms.

Prove the export to reclaim VAT and apply the zero rate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I get an EX-1 if the goods have already covered part of the route through Europe?

Yes. We can file the declaration even after transport has started — all we need is the invoice and the cargo details.

Is an EX-1 needed if the goods are duty-free?

Yes. The EX-1 declaration is mandatory regardless of the type of goods — it records the fact of export from the EU.

What if there's a problem at the border with an EX-1 filed by someone else?

We can re-file the EX-1 if the previous declaration was incorrect or has been closed. In urgent cases we fast-track it.
