CJ Rules on Verification of EUR.1 Certificates Issued Outside EU Customs Territory in C-351/24 Case

The CJ delivered a judgment on the verification of proofs of origin related to EUR.1 movement certificates.
The case involved C/C Vámügynöki Kft. and the rejection of proof of origin without following a specific procedure.
C/C requested the release of mandarins from Kosovo, originating in Turkey, with EUR.1 certificates from Kosovo.
Hungarian customs found the goods ineligible for preferential tariff treatment and levied customs duties.
C/C argued the certificates were issued under administrative cooperation and should not have to pay duties.
Hungarian authorities claimed the certificates were issued in error and verification was unnecessary.
The CJ ruled that if goods are ineligible for preferential treatment, verification is not required.
