Export Documents for Cars from the Netherlands
This page explains, in general terms, how export documentation works when an approved B2B partner buys used vehicles from the Netherlands through Kapitan B2B. It is informational: it sets out what EX-A and EUR.1 are and where they fit in the purchase, without stating fixed costs or timelines. Those are handled per vehicle and per case. Export documentation is part of working with approved B2B partners only; private buyers are not served. If you export to a Balkan or other market, this gives you the outline before you start.
EX-A in short
EX-A is export-related documentation that can apply when a vehicle leaves the customs territory. Whether and how it is arranged is discussed per vehicle and pickup. We do not state a fixed cost or processing time on this page; that is handled case by case and confirmed with you directly. The point here is to make clear that EX-A is part of the conversation around export, not an afterthought, so you can plan with your exporter.
EUR.1 in short
EUR.1 is a movement certificate that can be relevant for preferential origin in certain trade arrangements. Where it applies, it can be arranged on request. As with EX-A, we do not publish fixed costs or timelines here; relevance and handling depend on the specific vehicle and destination, and are confirmed per case. If EUR.1 matters for your market, raise it early so it can be discussed alongside the purchase.
What the buyer or exporter provides
For export documentation to be arranged, the buyer or exporter typically needs to supply complete company and exporter details, and, where someone else collects the vehicle, the relevant authorisation. Accurate details up front keep the documentation step from stalling. Export documentation can be discussed per vehicle and pickup, including EX-A and EUR.1 where applicable and on request, with transport in consultation.
How documents fit the purchase
Documentation sits at the export end of the flow, after the vehicle is released. The flow is: approved B2B account and approved company documents, purchase request (not a reservation), proforma invoice after document approval, bank transfer, payment confirmation valid only after our review, release once payment is visible on our account — then export documentation and transport. Keeping exporter details ready means this final stage moves without delay.
