REX authorization

Thanks to the Authorized Exporter (EA) and REX status, exporting becomes SMART: easy, fast, and reliable.

WHAT DOES EA AND REX MEAN?

The Authorized Exporter (EA) and Registered Exporter System (REX) statuses are authorizations issued by the customs authority that define the originating character of the goods exported by the company.

Certifying the preferential origin of goods is an added value for companies exporting abroad, as it allows importing countries to obtain significant duty incentives.

Once the status is obtained, the company can declare the origin directly on the invoice, eliminating the need to issue certificates such as EUR 1, EUR.MED, and A.TR.
