- From January 1, 2026, Egypt and Morocco require proofs of origin to explicitly include the wording ‘revised rules’ for preferential origin under the revised Pan-Euro-Mediterranean (PEM) rules.
- If this reference is missing, customs may reject the proof, leading to delays, refusal, or loss of preferential duty treatment.
- The requirement applies to both EUR.1 certificates (in box 7) and statements on origin for exports to Egypt and Morocco.
- Most other PEM countries do not require this specific wording.
- Stakeholders are working to align rules across the PEM zone and exporters should report any inconsistencies to customs authorities.
