New service pack (EU): Update of the agreement designation (MERCOSUR)
A new version of Origin & Preferences is now available for download. The new O&P service package includes the update of the agreement designation (MERCOSUR).
In a current technical report on zoll.de, the Central Customs Authority clarifies that the origin “MERCOSUR” must be stated in the (long-term) supplier's declaration. The mere naming of individual countries therefore does not comply with the current requirements. At the time of the last release delivery, there was still no clear technical clarification on this. The change is described in the release notes.
