Application of Wet Signatures to A.TR Movement Certificates

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the letter dated 02.05.2024 and numbered 96374360 received from the Ministry of Trade and forwarded to our Union provides, in the referenced letter, a copy of which is attached, information on the decision of the European Commission that, as of 1 May 2024 (including this date), a wet signature must be applied by customs officers to box No. 12, the customs endorsement box, of A.TR Movement Certificates issued in MEDOS.

The letter states that the said practice does not apply to the EUR.1 Movement Certificate and the EUR-MED Movement Certificate.

The letter further explains that, until a second instruction on the matter, as of 1 May 2024 the approval and endorsement stage of A.TR Movement
Certificates will be carried out electronically as in the current situation; however, after the certificate is printed out by the exporter via the MEDOS system, the "customs endorsement" box will be signed by customs officers.
