Show the EU's own wording for these conditions

Invoice declaration or origin declaration made out by any exporter on invoice or any other commercial document
Movement certificate EUR.1

Sanctions and restricted regions 2 conditions

Some conditions come from EU sanctions rules. They matter when the goods are linked to a country or region the EU restricts trade with.
