Long-term supplier's declaration: what it must contain
The long-term supplier's declaration (LTSD) is how a supplier tells a customer that regularly supplied goods have preferential origin. The wording is fixed in Annex 22-16 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447. You do not rewrite it; you fill in the numbered places only.
The numbered fields
| (1) (2) | Description of the goods and the commercial designation used on the invoices, e.g. the model number. |
|---|---|
| (3) | Name of the company the goods are supplied to: your customer. |
| (4) | Where the goods originate: usually the European Union. Do not use EG or EC; those are Egypt and Ecuador. |
| (5) | The countries or groups whose rules of origin are met. Each agreement has its own rules, so list only the ones that truly apply. Where more than one set of rules of origin applies (as with PEM), also which set was used (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1728). |
| (6) | Cumulation: fill in only where pan-Euro-Mediterranean cumulation applies. |
| (7) | Start and end date. At most 24 months. |
| (8) (9) (10) | Place and date; name and position, name and address of company; signature. |
Single or long-term?
For one consignment the supplier uses Annex 22-15, on or attached to the invoice. If they supply the same goods regularly, one long-term declaration covers every shipment in the period.
Can it be electronic?
Yes, if both the declaration and the invoice are electronic and the supplier gives a written undertaking accepting complete responsibility as if they had signed by hand (Art. 63(3)).
