Article 1
Open ↗1. At the moment of import into the Union, importers of products falling under categories listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2026/1384 shall provide a Mill Test Certificate that includes the country of ‘melt and pour’ and the heat number of the imported steel. 2. However, if the Mill Test Certificate provided does not entail information either on the country of ‘melt and pour’ or the heat number, the following evidence may be considered by customs authorities as complementary to the Mill Test Certificate provided that it entails the missing information either on the country of ‘melt and pour’ or the heat number: (a) invoices, (b) delivery notes; (c) quality certificates and clauses in implemented purchase orders or contracts; (d) long-term declarations from suppliers; (e) cost accounting and production documents; (f) customs documents from the exporting country; (g) commercial correspondence; or (h) production descriptions. 3. If no Mill Test Certificate can be provided, the following evidence may be considered by customs authorities as standalone evidence provided that it entails information on the country of ‘melt and pour’ and the heat number: (a) invoices; (b) delivery notes; (c) quality certificates and clauses in implemented purchase orders or contracts; (d) long-term declarations from suppliers; (e) cost accounting and production documents; (f) customs documents from the exporting country; (g) commercial correspondence; or (h) production descriptions.
