The advisor of the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce elaborated a file in cooperation with the company to request the AEAT Spanish Customs Authority the Approved Exporter Number (AEN) Customs Authorisation. First, it was needed to identify the HS Code of the goods exported to South Korea and to be included in the Request.
The next step made by the Chamber was to create a report of the origin rules related to the different headings provided by Trastamo SL The report contained the rules of origin of these headings at four digits level, for all the countries that have signed a Free Trade Agreement with the European Union.
Having analysed the origin rules and checked the compliance about preferential origin on the part of production system of the company, the next step was to create the dossier to request for the AEN Authorisation to the Spanish Customs Authority. The Chamber provided the guidelines of the application form and advised Trastamo SL how to fill in the dossier, focussing on the need to demonstrate the accomplishment of the rules of origin by electronically means as Union Customs Code says, in other words, the origin traceability of the different products, which means, being capable to demonstrate the preferential origin in the ERP system.
