A.TR Certificate Example – Sample Form and How to Fill In

Understanding the layout and fields of an A.TR certificate is essential for anyone involved in Turkey-EU trade. The A.TR certificate form is a standardized document recognized by customs authorities in all EU member states and Turkey. It consists of several numbered boxes, each requiring specific information about the exporter, the consignee, the goods being shipped, and the transport details. Filling in the form correctly is critical because any errors or omissions can result in the certificate being rejected at customs, leading to delays and potential financial penalties. Bolaji Group B.V. has prepared this comprehensive guide to help exporters understand each section of the A.TR certificate form, ensuring that every application is completed accurately and efficiently. Our expertise in this area means that clients who work with us can avoid common mistakes that often cause problems at customs checkpoints.

The A.TR certificate form begins with Box 1, which contains the exporter's details including the full company name, address, and country. Box 2 is reserved for the certificate number and any serial references assigned by the issuing authority. Box 3 contains the consignee's details, specifying the company or individual who will receive the goods in the destination country. Box 4 identifies the country of export, while Box 5 indicates the country of destination. Boxes 6 through 9 provide space for a detailed description of the goods, including quantity, weight, packaging type, and any relevant product codes. It is essential that the goods description matches the information on the commercial invoice exactly, as customs officials will cross-reference these details during clearance. Bolaji Group B.V. ensures that all fields are completed consistently across all supporting documents.

The lower section of the A.TR certificate form contains the official endorsement area. Box 10 is where the issuing authority stamps and signs the certificate, confirming that it has been reviewed and approved. Box 11 provides space for any additional remarks or conditions that may apply to the shipment. Box 12 is reserved for the customs authority of the importing country to stamp upon entry, confirming that the certificate has been presented and accepted. The back of the certificate typically contains instructions and notes regarding the rules for completing the form, the conditions under which the certificate is valid, and the penalties for misuse. Bolaji Group B.V. handles all aspects of form preparation, from entering the correct data in each box to obtaining the official endorsement stamp, delivering a fully completed and approved certificate to our clients.
