How to Write a End User Certificate (EUC)

Follow these steps to draft a End User Certificate (EUC) that survives counterparty review, bank scrutiny and, if needed, ICC arbitration. Grab the free End User Certificate (EUC) template at the end.

Step-by-step

  1. 1. End user identification
    Legal name, address, tax registration and authorised signatory of the actual end user.
  2. 2. Commodity & end use
    Product, quantity and the specific end use (refinery input, cement plant fuel, smelter feedstock).
  3. 3. No re-export undertaking
    Statement that the end user will not re-export or divert without prior written consent from the seller and, where required, the relevant export authority.
  4. 4. Compliance statements
    Sanctions compliance, no dual-use diversion, no listed party involvement.
  5. 5. Signature & stamp
    Signed and stamped by end user's authorised signatory.

Common pitfalls to avoid

  • Leaving placeholder text like [ ] or {seller name} in the executed copy.
  • Missing signature date, or signing outside the validity window quoted on the document.
  • Referencing Incoterms without the year - always cite 'Incoterms 2020'.
  • Omitting the arbitration seat and governing law - defaults vary by country.

FAQ

Is an EUC required for all commodities?
Not for all, but standard for petroleum, chemicals, base metals, dual-use goods and defence-related items.
Does the buyer sign the EUC or the end user?
The end user. If buyer and end user are the same entity, one signature is enough.
