What are the opportunities for Access to the EU (European Union) for my goods?
Products originating in Curaçao can be imported into the European Union free of customs duties and charges. In addition, these products are not subject to any quantitative restriction or measure having equivalent effect. Goods will be considered originating if they have been either wholly obtained or sufficiently worked or processed. A movement certificate EUR 1 issued will give evidence of originating status of products by the local Customs Authority. Examples of product opportunities that can be exported free of duties and/or levies into the EU if produced or sufficiently processed in Curaçao are: Instant coffee (this process has to start at green beans). Leather coats (this process has to start at fashioned leather). Agricultural products produced in Curaçao (i.e. locally cultivated). Sea products if caught in Netherlands Antilles, or caught by ships with NA flags outside of NA territorial waters. Petroleum products with a maximum of 2 million tons, and refined petroleum products.
