COMPLIANCE AND SELF-CERTIFICATION OF ORIGIN IN THE MERCOSUR – EUROPEAN UNION ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT

The self-certification of origin provided for in the Mercosur–European Union Agreement transfers the responsibility for proving the origin of products to the exporter, requiring greater documentary control, traceability and regulatory compliance. In this context, Compliance assumes a strategic role in reviewing processes, contracts and information in the chain, ensuring legal security and reliability of self-certification.
