1. Registered Exporter(REX).

In general, the REX system is : The REX system allows a registered exporter(van Oord Ship Management) to declare the origin of goods themselves. This declaration is called: Statement on Origin The statements on Origin are included on invoices or other relevant documents..

The REX system is used by EU exporters in the context of : Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) The Generalized System of Preferences(GSP) Overseas Association Decisions (OAD).

Principle of Self-Certification: Economic operators ( as van Oord) declare the origin of goods themselves using statements on origin. To issue these statements, an economic operator must be registered in the EU database. Once registered, the economic operator becomes a “registered exporter.” The Rex number of van Oord Ship Management: NLREX7642 REX number validation.

REX System Functionalities: Registration of Exporters: Exporters apply to become registered exporters by submitting an application form to the customs authorities. Modification of Registration Data: Registered exporters must communicate any changes to their registered data to the competent authorities. Revocation of Exporters: In certain cases (e.g., company closure or fraud), a registered exporter may be revoked from the REX system..

Benefits. 6. Registered Exporter. As a Registered Exporter(REX) there are several benefits: Simplified Origin Declarations: REX-registered exporters can self-issue origin declarations for their goods. This simplifies the process and eliminates the need for external certificates. Access to Trade Preferences: REX registration is required for utilizing preferential trade schemes, such as the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP). The goods can benefit from reduced or non import duties or other preferential treatments. Efficiency and Cost Savings: Self-issuing origin declarations saves time and costs. You are not dependent on external entities to obtain certificates Flexibility: As a registered exporter, you can update your registration data as needed. This makes it easier to accommodate changes in your business information..

Obligations and rules : Same as before*, only the method to certify the origin of goods changes. Create a record of all origin declarations used on van Oord invoices and keep it for 3 years. Send copy of the invoice including proof of origin before shipment to TCCS for approval. Statement of origin if shipment value > EUR 6.000,-- REX needed Sign invoice or packing list and write your name and date Value < EUR 6.000,-- statement of origin without using REX number. * See memo TR-IN-03042023-1-Collecting proof of origin for CoO.
