(2)
For goods to benefit from the suspension of autonomous common customs tariff duties laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/581, it is a condition that a certain type-certificate such as a European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Form 1 authorised release certificate or an equivalent is made available to the customs authorities. EASA has concluded bilateral aviation safety agreements or technical working arrangements with certain third countries issuing such types of certificates. It is, therefore, appropriate to consider certificates issued by those countries equivalent to EASA Form 1.
