If you bought the goods and are re-exporting them, then the supplier must provide you with a signed declaration confirming that the goods are of preferential UK origin (any statements that do not mention preferential origin are insufficient i.e. “goods were manufactured in the UK” would be inadequate for the purposes of preferential origin).
