COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1063/2010
of 18 November 2010
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
By virtue of Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 of 22 July 2008 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2011 and amending Regulations (EC) No 552/97, (EC) No 1933/2006 and Commission Regulations (EC) No 1100/2006 and (EC) No 964/2007 (2) the European Union grants trade preferences to developing countries, in the framework of its scheme of generalised tariff preferences (the ‘GSP’ or ‘scheme’). In accordance with Article 5(2) of that Regulation, the rules of origin concerning the definition of the concept of originating products, the procedures and the methods of administrative cooperation related thereto, are to be those laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3). |
|
(2) |
Following a wide-ranging debate initiated by its Green Paper of 18 December 2003 on the future of rules of origin in preferential trade arrangements (4), on 16 March 2005 the Commission adopted a Communication entitled ‘The rules of origin in preferential trade arrangements: Orientations for the future’ (5) (the ‘Communication’). That Communication sets out a new approach to rules of origin in all preferential trade arrangements involving the European Union and in particular in development-orientated arrangements such as the GSP. |
|
(3) |
In the context of the Doha Development Agenda, the need to ensure a better integration of developing countries into the world economy has been recognised, in particular through improved access to the markets of developed countries. For that purpose, the rules of preferential origin should be simplified and, where appropriate, made less stringent, so that products originating in beneficiary countries can actually benefit from the preferences granted. |
|
(4) |
In order to ensure that the preferences actually benefit those who need them and to protect the own resources of the European Union, the changes to the rules of preferential origin should be accompanied by an adaptation of the procedures for their management. |
|
(5) |
The Commission’s impact assessment of this Regulation demonstrates that GSP rules of origin are perceived as too complex and too restrictive. It further shows that the actual use of the preferences granted is low for certain products and, in particular, those products which are of most interest to the least developed countries, and that rules of origin are one reason for this. |
|
(6) |
The impact assessment indicated that simplification and development-friendliness could be achieved by a single criterion applicable to all products for determining the origin of goods which are not wholly obtained in a beneficiary country, based on the value-added in the beneficiary country concerned and requiring compliance with a sufficient processing threshold. However, it did not demonstrate that a single method is indispensable to simplification or development-friendliness. Moreover, according to feedback from stakeholders there are a number of sectors for which the value-added criterion is either not well suited or should not be used as the sole criterion, such as agricultural and processed agricultural products, fishery products, chemicals, metals, textiles and clothing and shoes. Consequently other, simple criteria which may be easily understood by operators and easily controlled by administrations should be used in such sectors, either instead of the value-added criterion or as an alternative to it. These other criteria include a maximum permitted content of non-originating materials; change of tariff heading or sub-heading; a specific working and processing operation; and the use of wholly obtained materials. Nevertheless, simplicity requires that the number of different rules should be as few as possible. Therefore, the rules of origin should as far as possible be on a sector-by-sector rather than a product-by-product basis. |
|
(7) |
The rules of origin should reflect the features of specific sectors but also allow beneficiary countries a real possibility to access the preferential tariff treatment granted. Where appropriate, the rules should in addition reflect the differing industrial capacities of beneficiary countries. In order to encourage the industrial development of the least developed countries, where the rule is based on compliance with a maximum content of non-originating materials, the threshold applicable to such materials should always be as high as possible while still ensuring that the operations which take place in those countries are genuine and economically justified. A maximum content of non-originating materials of up to 70 % or any rule providing for an equivalent level of relaxation for products originating in the least developed countries should result in increased exports from them. |
|
(8) |
In order to ensure that the working or processing which takes place in a beneficiary country is a genuine, economically justified operation which will be of real economic benefit to that country, it is appropriate to lay down a list of insufficient working or processing operations which can never confer origin. This list may largely be the same as that which has existed hitherto. However, certain adaptations should be made. For example, in order to avoid diversion of trade and distortion of the sugar market, and in line with provisions already adopted as part of the rules of origin of other preferential trade arrangements, a new rule should be laid down precluding the mixing of sugar with any material. |
|
(9) |
A degree of flexibility should be ensured in those sectors where the value-added criterion does not apply, as currently, by allowing the use of a limited proportion of materials which do not satisfy the rules. However, the scope of such use should be clarified as regards products made using wholly obtained materials. Moreover, in order to allow further flexibility in sourcing materials the permitted proportion of those materials should be increased, except for certain sensitive products, from 10 % to 15 % of the ex-works price of the final product. Among those sensitive products are products falling within Chapters 2 and 4 to 24 of the Harmonized System, other than processed fishery products of Chapter 16, for which tolerances expressed in weight appear to be more suitable and products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System which should remain subject to specific tolerance rules based on either weight or value according to the case and varying according to the product. |
|
(10) |
Cumulation of origin is an important facilitation which allows countries having identical rules of origin to work together for the purpose of manufacturing products which are eligible for preferential tariff treatment. The existing conditions for regional cumulation of origin, a form of cumulation currently operating within three regional groups of countries, have proven complex and too stringent. They should therefore be simplified and made less stringent by removing the existing value condition. Furthermore, the existing cumulation possibilities between countries in the same regional group should be maintained despite the differentiation introduced by this Regulation in rules of origin in some cases between the least developed countries and other beneficiary countries. Such cumulation should only be permitted provided that when sending materials to another country of the group for the purpose of regional cumulation, each country applies the rule of origin applicable to it in its trade relations with the European Union. However, in order to guard against distortion of trade between countries having different levels of tariff preference, provision should be made to exclude certain sensitive products from regional cumulation. |
|
(11) |
In its Communication the Commission indicated that it was ready to examine any request for establishing new, merged or wider groups, insofar as economic complementarities exist, differences in preferential arrangements applicable to the various countries and the related risk of tariff circumvention are taken into consideration and the necessary structures and procedures for administrative co-operation for management and control of origin are put in place. In keeping with this, provision should be made for cumulation of origin between countries in regional cumulation groups I and III which meet the required conditions. Following a request submitted by Mercosur, a new regional cumulation group, to be called group IV, comprising Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay should be created. The application of regional cumulation among the said countries should be conditional upon the fulfilment of the necessary requirements. |
|
(12) |
Beneficiary countries should be permitted to further benefit from cumulation with countries which are partner countries to free-trade agreements (‘FTA’) concluded by the EU. This new type of cumulation, so-called extended cumulation, should be unidirectional, i.e. should only allow use of materials in beneficiary countries and should be granted after thorough examination of an application lodged by the beneficiary country concerned. Due to their sensitiveness, goods falling within Chapters 1 to 24 of the Harmonized System should be excluded from this type of cumulation. |
|
(13) |
Beneficiary countries have, since 2001, been permitted to cumulate origin with goods falling within Chapters 25 to 97 of the Harmonized System originating in Norway and Switzerland. This cumulation should be allowed to continue and extended to Turkey, provided Norway, Switzerland and Turkey apply the same definition of the concept of origin as the European Union and grant reciprocal treatment to products imported into them which were made using materials originating in the European Union. An agreement to this effect, including an undertaking that they shall provide Member States and each other with the necessary support in matters of administrative cooperation, should be concluded through an exchange of letters or any other suitable form of agreement between the parties. |
|
(14) |
Regional cumulation should however not cover certain materials where the tariff preference available in the European Union is not the same for all countries involved in the cumulation and the materials concerned would benefit, through cumulation, from a tariff treatment more favourable than the one they would benefit from if directly exported to the European Union. Not tackling such situations by means of exclusion of materials could lead to tariff circumvention or trade distortion by exporting goods to the European Union only from countries to which the most favourable tariff preference applies. |
|
(15) |
A list of materials excluded from regional cumulation is to be laid down in a separate annex. This annex may be amended not only when new such situations arise, but also in order to cover cases where such situations would arise as a result of the implementation of cumulation between countries of regional cumulation groups I and III. Cumulation of origin between countries in regional cumulation groups I and III and extended cumulation should be subject to specific conditions, whose fulfilment the Commission should verify before considering to grant cumulation, in accordance with the Committee procedure and on the basis of relevant considerations. On the same grounds, where use of such cumulation has been granted but it is subsequently established that the application of cumulation no longer fulfils the conditions or leads to unwarranted results, as for instance where it results in trade distortion or tariff circumvention, the Commission should remain at any time able to withdraw the grant to using such kinds of cumulation. |
|
(16) |
In the current rules of origin some provisions concerning fishery vessels catching fish outside territorial waters are complex to an extent which is disproportionate to their aim and are consequently difficult both to implement and to control. They should therefore be simplified. The current rules require evidence of direct transport to the European Union which is frequently difficult to obtain. Due to that requirement, some goods which are accompanied by a valid proof of origin cannot actually benefit from preference. It is therefore appropriate to introduce a new, simpler and more flexible rule which focuses on the aim that goods presented to customs upon declaration for release for free circulation in the European Union are the same ones that left the beneficiary country of export and have not been altered or transformed in any way en route. |
|
(17) |
At present, the authorities of beneficiary countries certify the origin of products and, where the declared origin proves to be incorrect, importers frequently do not have to pay duty because they acted in good faith and an error was made by the competent authorities. As a result, there is a loss to the European Union’s own resources and it is ultimately the European Union taxpayer who bears the burden. Since exporters are in the best position to know the origin of their products, it is appropriate to require that exporters directly provide their customers with statements on origin. |
|
(18) |
Exporters should be registered with the competent authorities of the beneficiary countries in order to facilitate targeted post-export controls. For this purpose, each beneficiary country should establish an electronic record of registered exporters, the contents of which should be communicated to the Commission by that beneficiary country’s competent governmental authority. On this basis the Commission should establish a central data-base of registered exporters for the benefit of administrations and operators in the European Union, through which operators should be able to check before declaring goods for release for free circulation that their supplier is a registered exporter in the beneficiary country concerned. Similarly, European Union operators making exports for the purpose of bilateral cumulation of origin should be registered with the competent authorities in the Member States. |
|
(19) |
Publication of numbers and non-confidential registration data of exporters should enable other parties to consult those data in order to facilitate transparency and increase information of interested parties. However, taking into account the consequences of publication, it should take place only where the exporter has freely given prior specific and informed written consent thereto. |
|
(20) |
Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (6) governs the processing of personal data carried out by Member States. The principles set out in Directive 95/46/EC should be clarified or supplemented in this Regulation where necessary. |
|
(21) |
Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (7) governs the processing of personal data activities carried out by the Commission. The principles set out in Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 should be clarified or supplemented in this Regulation where necessary. |
|
(22) |
Pursuant to Article 28 of Directive 95/46/EC, the national supervisory authorities should monitor the lawfulness of the processing of personal data by Member States, while, pursuant to Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001, the European Data Protection Supervisor should monitor the activities of the European Union institutions and bodies in relation to the processing of personal data. The European Data Protection Supervisor and the national supervisory authorities, acting within the scope of their respective competences, should cooperate actively and ensure coordinated supervision of processing carried out in pursuance of this Regulation. |
|
(23) |
The introduction of the system of registered exporters needs to take account of the capacity of beneficiary countries to set up and manage the registration system as well as the capacity of the Commission to set up the necessary central data-base. For that purpose, the Commission still needs to establish the system’s user requirements and technical specifications. Once the detailed architecture of the central data-base is established, the precise implications of the system of registered exporters, notably in terms of access to data and data protection, will be assessed and necessary adjustments to the relevant provisions will be implemented. The implementation of the system should therefore be deferred until 1 January 2017 which should allow for the development phase, once user requirements and technical specifications are established and possible legal adjustments implemented as found necessary in the light of the system’s users requirements and technical specifications and their implications in terms of data protection. An additional three year period should moreover be provided for countries which cannot meet this deadline. Until 2017 and beyond this date for beneficiary countries not then in a position to apply the new system, transitional rules concerning the procedures and methods of administrative cooperation should be laid down, based on the provisions which have applied hitherto. In particular, those transitional provisions should provide for the issue of proof of origin by the competent authorities of the country concerned. Further, the existing rules should be streamlined by aligning their structure with the rules to be applied once the system of registered exporter is operational in order to make them clearer, in particular by clearly distinguishing general principles, procedures at export in the beneficiary country, procedures at release for free circulation in the European Union and methods of administrative cooperation. At the same time, the certificate of origin Form A, should be updated, in particular by replacing the notes related to the form by the 2007 version of those notes, since that version takes account of the EU’s last enlargement and therefore contains an updated list of countries which accept Form A for the purposes of GSP. |
|
(24) |
Access to the scheme should be conditional upon beneficiary countries putting into place and maintaining administrative structures permitting the efficient management of the scheme, and undertaking to provide all necessary support in the event of a request from the Commission for the monitoring of the proper management of the scheme. There needs in particular to be a system of administrative cooperation between the authorities in the European Union and in beneficiary countries which provides the framework for the verification of origin. At the same time, the responsibility of exporters in declaring origin as well as the role of administrative authorities in managing the system should be set out clearly. The contents of statements on origin should be specified, as well as the cases in which the customs authorities in the European Union may refuse to accept a statement or send it for verification. |
|
(25) |
The definitions and list of sufficient working or processing operations in the current provisions are common to GSP and preferential tariff measures adopted unilaterally by the European Union for certain countries or territories. Since the rules of origin of these latter arrangements will only be reformed at a later stage, the existing provisions should continue to apply to them. However, in the interests of coherence with GSP and other unilateral preferential trade arrangements, it is appropriate to align the definition of wholly obtained products and the list of insufficient working or processing operations laid down in those other unilateral arrangements with those of GSP rules of origin. |
|
(26) |
Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(27) |
By virtue of Commission Regulations (EC) No 1613/2000 (8), (EC) No 1614/2000 (9) and (EC) No 1615/2000 (10), the Community has granted derogations from GSP rules of origin for certain textile products originating in Laos, Cambodia and Nepal, which expire on 31 December 2010. The simpler and more development-friendly rules of origin introduced by this Regulation will render continuation of those derogations superfluous. |
|
(28) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as follows:
|
(1) |
In Part I, Title IV, Chapter 2, Articles 66 to 97 are replaced by the following: ‘ Generalised system of preferences Sub-section 1 General provisions Article 66 This section lays down the rules concerning the definition of the concept of “originating products”, the procedures and the methods of administrative cooperation related thereto, for the purposes of the application of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP) granted by the European Union by Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 (*1) to developing countries (“the scheme”). Article 67 1. For the purposes of this Section and Section 1A of this Chapter the following definitions shall apply:
2. For the purpose of point (n) of paragraph 1, where the last working or processing has been subcontracted to a manufacturer, the term “manufacturer” referred to in the first sub-paragraph of point (n) of paragraph 1may refer to the enterprise that has employed the subcontractor. Article 68 1. In order to ensure the proper application of the scheme beneficiary countries shall undertake:
2. The cooperation referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 shall consist of:
3. The beneficiary countries shall submit to the Commission the undertaking referred to in paragraph 1. Article 69 1. Beneficiary countries shall notify the Commission of the names and addresses of the authorities situated in their territory which are:
2. Beneficiary countries shall inform the Commission immediately of any changes to the information notified under paragraph 1. 3. The Commission shall establish an electronic data-base of registered exporters on the basis of the information supplied by the governmental authorities of beneficiary countries and the customs authorities of Member States. Only the Commission shall have an access to the data-base and the data contained therein. The authorities referred to in the first sub-paragraph shall ensure that data communicated to the Commission are kept up to date, and are complete and accurate. The data processed in the data-base referred to in the first sub-paragraph shall be disclosed to the public via the internet, with the exception of the confidential information contained in boxes 2 and 3 of the application to become a registered exporter referred to in Article 92. Personal data processed in the data-base referred to in the first sub-paragraph and by Member States pursuant to this Section shall be transferred or made available to third countries or international organisations only in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001. 4. This Regulation shall in no way affect the level of protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data under the provisions of European Union and national law and, in particular, does not alter either the obligations of Member States relating to their processing of personal data under Directive 95/46/EC or the obligations of the European Union institutions and bodies relating to their processing of personal data under Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 when fulfilling their responsibilities. Identification and registration data of exporters, constituted by the set of data listed in points 1, 3 (relating to description of activities), 4 and 5 of Annex 13c shall be published by the Commission on the internet only if exporters have freely given prior specific and informed written consent. Exporters shall be provided with the information laid down in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001. The rights of persons with regard to their registration data listed in Annex 13c and processed in national systems shall be exercised in accordance with the law of the Member State which stored their personal data implementing Directive 95/46/EC. The rights of persons with regard to the processing of personal data in the central data-base referred to in paragraph 3 shall be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001. The national supervisory data protection authorities and the European Data Protection Supervisor, each acting within the scope of their respective competences, shall cooperate actively and ensure coordinated supervision of the database referred to in paragraph 3. Article 70 1. The Commission will publish in the Official Journal of the European Union (C series) the list of beneficiary countries and the date on which they are considered to meet the conditions referred to in Articles 68 and 69. The Commission will update this list when a new beneficiary country fulfils the same conditions. 2. Products originating within the meaning of this section in a beneficiary country shall benefit, on release for free circulation in the European Union, from the scheme only on condition that they were exported on or after the date specified in the list referred to in paragraph 1. 3. The beneficiary country shall be considered to comply with Articles 68 and 69 on the date on which it has submitted the undertaking referred to in Article 68(1) and made the notification referred to in Article 69(1). Article 71 Failure by the competent authorities of a beneficiary country to comply with Articles 68(1), 69(2), 91, 92, 93 or 97g or systematic failure to comply with Article 97h(2) may, in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 732/2008, entail temporary withdrawal of preferences under the scheme for that country. Sub-section 2 Definition of the concept of originating products Article 72 The following products shall be considered as originating in a beneficiary country:
Article 73 1. The conditions set out in this sub-section for acquiring originating status shall be fulfilled in the beneficiary country concerned. 2. If originating products exported from the beneficiary country to another country are returned, they shall be considered as non-originating unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authorities that:
Article 74 1. The products declared for release for free circulation in the European Union shall be the same products as exported from the beneficiary country in which they are considered to originate. They shall not have been altered, transformed in any way or subjected to operations other than operations to preserve them in good condition, prior to being declared for release for free circulation. Storage of products or consignments and splitting of consignments may take place where carried out under the responsibility of the exporter or of a subsequent holder of the goods and the products remain under customs supervision in the country(ies) of transit. 2. Compliance with paragraph 1 shall be considered as satisfied unless the customs authorities have reason to believe the contrary; in such cases, the customs authorities may request the declarant to provide evidence of compliance, which may be given by any means, including contractual transport documents such as bills of lading or factual or concrete evidence based on marking or numbering of packages or any evidence related to the goods themselves. 3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis when cumulation under Articles 84, 85 or 86 applies. Article 75 1. The following shall be considered as wholly obtained in a beneficiary country:
2. The terms “its vessels” and “its factory ships” in paragraph 1(h) and (i) shall apply only to vessels and factory ships which meet each of the following requirements:
3. The conditions of paragraph 2 may each be fulfilled in Member States or in different beneficiary countries insofar as all the beneficiary countries benefit from regional cumulation in accordance with Article 86(1) and (5). In this case, the products shall be deemed to have the origin of the beneficiary country under which flag the vessel or factory ship sails in accordance with point (b) of paragraph 2. The first sub-paragraph shall apply only provided that the provisions of Article 86(2)(b) and (c) have been fulfilled. Article 76 1. Without prejudice to Articles 78 and 79, products which are not wholly obtained in the beneficiary country concerned within the meaning of Article 75 shall be considered to originate there, provided that the conditions laid down in the list in Annex 13a for the goods concerned are fulfilled. 2. If a product which has acquired originating status in a country in accordance with paragraph 1 is further processed in that country and used as a material in the manufacture of another product, no account shall be taken of the non-originating materials which may have been used in its manufacture. Article 77 1. The determination of whether the requirements of Article 76(1) are met, shall be carried out for each product. However, where the relevant rule is based on compliance with a maximum content of non-originating materials, in order to take into account fluctuations in costs and currency rates, the value of the non-originating materials may be calculated on an average basis as set out in paragraph 2. 2. In the case referred to in the second sub-paragraph of paragraph 1, an average ex-works price of the product and average value of non-originating materials used shall be calculated respectively on the basis of the sum of the ex-works prices charged for all sales of the products carried out during the preceding fiscal year and the sum of the value of all the non-originating materials used in the manufacture of the products over the preceding fiscal year as defined in the country of export, or, where figures for a complete fiscal year are not available, a shorter period which should not be less than three months. 3. Exporters having opted for calculations on an average basis shall consistently apply such a method during the year following the fiscal year of reference, or, where appropriate, during the year following the shorter period used as a reference. They may cease to apply such a method where during a given fiscal year, or a shorter representative period of no less than three months, they record that the fluctuations in costs or currency rates which justified the use of such a method have ceased. 4. The averages referred to in paragraph 2 shall be used as the ex-works price and the value of non-originating materials respectively, for the purpose of establishing compliance with the maximum content of non-originating materials. Article 78 1. Without prejudice to paragraph 3, the following operations shall be considered as insufficient working or processing to confer the status of originating products, whether or not the requirements of Article 76 are satisfied:
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, operations shall be considered simple when neither special skills nor machines, apparatus or tools especially produced or installed for those operations are required for their performance. 3. All the operations carried out in a beneficiary country on a given product shall be taken into account when determining whether the working or processing undergone by that product is to be regarded as insufficient within the meaning of paragraph 1. Article 79 1. By way of derogation from Article 76 and subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article, non-originating materials which, according to the conditions set out in the list, in Annex 13a are not to be used in the manufacture of a given product may nevertheless be used, provided that their total value or net weight assessed for the product does not exceed:
2. Paragraph 1 shall not allow to exceed any of the percentages for the maximum content of non-originating materials as specified in the rules laid down in the list in Annex 13a. 3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to products wholly obtained in a beneficiary country within the meaning of Article 75. However, without prejudice to Article 78 and 80(2), the tolerance provided for in those paragraphs shall nevertheless apply to the sum of all the materials which are used in the manufacture of a product and for which the rule laid down in the list in Annex 13a for that product requires that such materials be wholly obtained. Article 80 1. The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this section shall be the particular product which is considered as the basic unit when determining classification using the Harmonized System. 2. When a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified under the same heading of the Harmonized System, each individual item shall be taken into account when applying the provisions of this section. 3. Where, under General Interpretative rule 5 of the Harmonized System, packaging is included with the product for classification purposes, it shall be included for the purposes of determining origin. Article 81 Accessories, spare parts and tools dispatched with a piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle which are part of the normal equipment and included in the ex-works price thereof, shall be regarded as one with the piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question. Article 82 Sets, as defined in General Interpretative rule 3 of the Harmonized System, shall be regarded as originating when all the component products are originating products. When a set is composed of originating and non- originating products, the set as a whole shall however be regarded as originating, provided that the value of the non-originating products does not exceed 15 % of the ex-works price of the set. Article 83 In order to determine whether a product is an originating product, no account shall be taken of the origin of the following which might be used in its manufacture:
Sub-section 3 Cumulation Article 84 Bilateral cumulation shall allow products originating in the European Union to be considered as materials originating in a beneficiary country when incorporated into a product manufactured in that country, provided that the working or processing carried out there goes beyond the operations described in Article 78(1). Article 85 1. In so far as Norway, Switzerland and Turkey grant generalised tariff preferences to products originating in the beneficiary countries and apply a definition of the concept of origin corresponding to that set out in this section, cumulation with Norway, Switzerland or Turkey shall allow products originating in Norway, Switzerland or Turkey to be considered as materials originating in a beneficiary country provided that the working or processing carried out there goes beyond the operations described in Article 78(1). 2. Paragraph 1 shall apply on condition that Turkey, Norway and Switzerland grant, by reciprocity, the same treatment to products originating in beneficiary countries which incorporate materials originating in the European Union. 3. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to products falling within Chapters 1 to 24 of the Harmonized System. 4. The Commission will publish in the Official Journal of the European Union (C series) the date on which the conditions laid down in paragraphs 1 and 2 are fulfilled. Article 86 1. Regional cumulation shall apply to the following four separate regional groups:
2. Regional cumulation between countries within the same group shall apply only where the following conditions are fulfilled:
Where countries in a regional group have already before 1 January 2011 complied with points (b) and (c) of the first sub-paragraph, a new undertaking shall not be required. 3. The materials listed in Annex 13b shall be excluded from the regional cumulation provided for in paragraph 2 in the case where:
4. Regional cumulation between countries in the same regional group shall apply only under the condition that the working or processing carried out in the beneficiary country where the materials are further processed or incorporated goes beyond the operations described in Article 78(1) and, in the case of textile products, also beyond the operations set out in Annex 16. Where the condition laid down in the first sub-paragraph is not fulfilled, the products shall have as country of origin the country of the regional group which accounts for the highest share of the customs value of the materials used originating in other countries of the regional group. Where the country of origin is determined pursuant to the second sub-paragraph, that country shall be stated as country of origin on the proof of origin made out by the exporter of the product to the European Union, or, until the application of the registered exporter system, issued by the authorities of the beneficiary country of exportation. 5. At the request of the authorities of a Group I or Group III beneficiary country, regional cumulation between countries of those groups may be granted by the Commission, provided that the Commission is satisfied that each of the following conditions is met:
The request referred to in the first sub-paragraph shall be supported with evidence that the conditions laid down in that sub-paragraph are met. It shall be addressed to the Commission. The Commission will decide on the request taking into account all the elements related to the cumulation deemed relevant, including the materials to be cumulated. 6.

7. At the request of any beneficiary country’s authorities, extended cumulation between a beneficiary country and a country with which the European Union has a free-trade agreement in accordance with Article XXIV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in force, may be granted by the Commission, provided that each of the following conditions is met:
The request referred to in the first sub-paragraph shall contain a list of the materials concerned by the cumulation and shall be supported with evidence that the conditions laid down in points (a) and (b) of the first sub-paragraph are met. It shall be addressed to the Commission. Where the materials concerned change, another request shall be submitted. Materials falling within Chapters 1 to 24 of the Harmonized System shall be excluded from extended cumulation. 8. In cases of extended cumulation referred to in paragraph 7, the origin of the materials used and the documentary proof of origin applicable shall be determined in accordance with the rules laid down in the relevant free-trade agreement. The origin of the products to be exported to the European Union shall be determined in accordance with the rules of origin laid down in this Section. In order for the obtained product to acquire originating status, it shall not be necessary that the materials originating in a country with which the European Union has a free-trade agreement and used in a beneficiary country in the manufacture of the product to be exported to the European Union have undergone sufficient working or processing, provided that the working or processing carried out in the beneficiary country concerned goes beyond the operations described in Article 78(1). 9.

The customs authorities of the Member States may make the granting of authorisation referred to in paragraph 2 subject to any conditions they deem appropriate. The authorisation shall be granted only if by use of the method referred to in paragraph 2 it can be ensured that, at any time, the number of products obtained which could be considered as “originating in the European Union” is the same as the number that would have been obtained by using a method of physical segregation of the stocks. If authorised, the method shall be applied and the application thereof shall be recorded on the basis of the general accounting principles applicable in the European Union. 4. The beneficiary of the method referred to in paragraph 2 shall make out or, until the application of the registered exporter system, apply for proofs of origin for the quantity of products which may be considered as originating in the European Union. At the request of the customs authorities of the Member States, the beneficiary shall provide a statement of how the quantities have been managed. 5. The customs authorities of the Member States shall monitor the use made of the authorisation referred to in paragraph 2. They may withdraw the authorisation in the following cases:

A request for a derogation shall be made in writing to the Commission. It shall state the reasons, as indicated in paragraph 1, why a derogation is required and shall contain appropriate supporting documents. 4. When a derogation is granted, the beneficiary country concerned shall comply with any requirements laid down as to information to be provided to the Commission concerning the use of the derogation and the management of the quantities for which the derogation is granted.

3. The competent authorities of the beneficiary countries shall notify the Commission of the national numbering system used for designating registered exporters. The number shall begin with ISO alpha 2 country code. Article 92 To be registered, exporters shall lodge an application with the competent authorities of the beneficiary country referred to in Article 69(1)(a), using the form a model of which is set out in Annex 13c. By the completion of the form exporters give consent to the storage of the information provided in the database of the Commission and to the publication of non-confidential data on the internet. The application shall be accepted by the competent authorities only if it is complete. Article 93 1. Registered exporters who no longer meet the conditions for exporting any goods under the scheme, or no longer intend to export such goods, shall inform the competent authorities in the beneficiary country who shall immediately remove them from the record of registered exporters kept in that beneficiary country. 2. Without prejudice to the system of penalties and sanctions applicable in the beneficiary country, where registered exporters intentionally or negligently draw up, or cause to be drawn up, a statement on origin or any supporting document which contains incorrect information which leads to irregularly or fraudulently obtaining the benefit of preferential tariff treatment, the beneficiary country’s competent authorities shall withdraw the exporter from the record of registered exporters kept by the beneficiary country concerned. 3. Without prejudice to the possible impact of irregularities found on pending verifications, withdrawal from the record of registered exporters shall take effect for the future, i.e. in respect of statements made out after the date of withdrawal. 4. Exporters who have been removed from the record of registered exporters by the competent authorities in accordance with paragraph 2 may only be re-introduced into the record of registered exporters once they have proved to the competent authorities in the beneficiary country that they remedied the situation which led to their withdrawal. Article 94 1. Exporters, registered or not, shall comply with the following obligations:
The records referred to in point (d) of the first sub-paragraph may be electronic but shall allow the materials used in the manufacture of the exported products to be traced and their originating status to be confirmed. 2.

A statement on origin shall be made out by the exporter when the products to which it relates are exported, if the goods concerned can be considered as originating in the beneficiary country concerned or another beneficiary country in accordance with the second sub-paragraph of Article 86(4) or with point (b) of the first sub-paragraph of Article 86(6). 2. By derogation from paragraph 1, a statement on origin may exceptionally be made out after exportation (retrospective statement) on condition that it is presented in the Member State of declaration for release for free circulation no longer than two years after the export. 3. The statement on origin shall be provided by the exporter to its customer in the European Union and shall contain the particulars specified in Annex 13d. A statement on origin shall be made out in either English or French. It may be made out on any commercial document allowing to identify the exporter concerned and the goods involved. 4. When cumulation under Articles 84, 86(1), or 86(5) and (6) applies, the exporter of a product in the manufacture of which materials originating in a party with which cumulation is permitted are used shall rely on the statement on origin provided by its supplier. In these cases, the statement on origin made out by the exporter shall, as the case may be, contain the indication “EU cumulation”, “regional cumulation” or “Cumul UE”, “cumul regional”. 5. When cumulation under Article 85 applies, the exporter of a product in the manufacture of which materials originating in a party with which cumulation is permitted are used shall rely on the proof of origin provided by its supplier and issued in accordance with the provisions of the GSP rules of origin of Norway, Switzerland or Turkey, as the case may be. In this case, the statement on origin made out by the exporter shall contain the indication “Norway cumulation”, “Switzerland cumulation”, “Turkey cumulation” or “Cumul Norvège”, “Cumul Suisse”, “Cumul Turquie”. 6. When extended cumulation under Article 86(7) and (8) applies, the exporter of a product in the manufacture of which materials originating in a party with which extended cumulation is permitted are used shall rely on the proof of origin provided by its supplier and issued in accordance with the provisions of the relevant free-trade agreement between the European Union and the party concerned. In this case, the statement on origin made out by the exporter shall contain the indication “extended cumulation with country x” or “cumul étendu avec le pays x”. Article 96 1.

Sub-section 6 Procedures at release for free circulation in the European Union Article 97 1. The customs declaration for release for free circulation shall make reference to the statement on origin. The statement on origin shall be kept at the disposal of the customs authorities, which may request its submission for the verification of the declaration. Those authorities may also require a translation of the statement into the official language, or one of the official languages, of the Member State concerned. 2. Where the application of the scheme is requested by the declarant, without a statement on origin being in its possession at the time of the acceptance of the customs declaration for release for free circulation, that declaration shall be considered as being incomplete within the meaning of Article 253(1) and treated accordingly. 3. Before declaring goods for release for free circulation, the declarant shall take due care that the goods comply with the rules in this section by, in particular, checking:

Article 97b 1. The discovery of slight discrepancies between the particulars included in a statement on origin and those mentioned in the documents submitted to the customs authorities for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the products shall not ipso facto render the statement on origin null and void if it is duly established that that document does correspond to the products concerned. 2. Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a statement on origin shall not cause this document to be rejected if these errors are not such as to create doubts concerning the correctness of the statements made in that document. 3. Statements on origin which are submitted to the customs authorities of the importing country after the period of validity mentioned in Article 96 may be accepted for the purpose of applying the tariff preferences, where failure to submit these documents by the final date set is due to exceptional circumstances. In other cases of belated presentation, the customs authorities of the importing country may accept the statements on origin where the products have been presented to customs before the said final date. Article 97c 1. The procedure referred to in Article 96(3) shall apply for a period determined by the customs authorities of the Member States. 2. The customs authorities of the Member States of importation supervising the successive releases for free circulation shall verify that the successive consignments are part of the dismantled or non-assembled products for which the statement on origin has been made out. Article 97d 1. Where products have not yet been released for free circulation, a statement on origin may be replaced by one or more replacement statements on origin, made out by the holder of the goods, for the purpose of sending all or some of the products elsewhere within the customs territory of the Community or, where applicable, to Norway, Switzerland or Turkey. For being entitled to make out replacement statements on origin, holders of the goods need not be registered exporters themselves. 2. Where a statement on origin is replaced, the original statement on origin shall indicate the following:
The original statement on origin shall be marked as “Replaced” or “Remplacée”, as the case may be. 3. On the replacement statement on origin the following shall be indicated:

Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis to replacement statements made out by consignors of the products in Norway, Switzerland or Turkey. 5. In the case of products which benefit from the tariff preferences under a derogation granted in accordance with the provisions of Article 89 the replacement provided for in this Article shall apply only when such products are intended for the European Union. Where the product concerned has acquired originating status through regional cumulation, a replacement statement on origin may only be made out for sending products to Norway, Switzerland or Turkey where these countries apply the same regional cumulation rules as the European Union. 6. Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis to statements replacing statements on origin further to the splitting of a consignment carried out in accordance with Article 74. Article 97e 1. The customs authorities may, where they have doubts with regard to the originating status of the products request the declarant to produce, within a reasonable time period which they shall specify, any available evidence for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the indication on origin of the declaration or the compliance with the conditions under Article 74. 2. The customs authorities may suspend the application of the preferential tariff measure for the duration of the verification procedure laid down in Article 97h where:

Article 97f 1. The customs authorities of the Member State of importation shall refuse entitlement to the scheme, without being obliged to request any additional evidence or send a request for verification to the beneficiary country where:
2. The customs authorities of the Member State of importation shall refuse entitlement to the scheme, following a request for verification within the meaning of Article 97h addressed to the competent authorities of the beneficiary country, where the customs authorities of the Member State of importation:
Sub-section 7 Control of origin Article 97g 1. For the purpose of ensuring compliance with the rules concerning the originating status of products, the competent authorities of the beneficiary country shall carry out:
To the extent that Norway, Switzerland and Turkey have concluded an agreement with the European Union stating that they shall provide each other with the necessary support in matters of administrative cooperation, the first sub-paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to requests sent to the authorities of Norway, Switzerland and Turkey for the verification of replacement statements on origin made out on their territory, with a view to requesting these authorities to further liaise with the competent authorities in the beneficiary country. Extended cumulation shall only be permitted under Article 86(7) and (8), if a country with which the European Union has a free-trade agreement in force has agreed to provide the beneficiary country with its support in matters of administrative cooperation in the same way as it would provide such support to the customs authorities of the Member States in accordance with the relevant provisions of the free-trade agreement concerned. 2. The controls referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 shall ensure the continued compliance of exporters with their obligations. They shall be carried out at intervals determined on the basis of appropriate risk analysis criteria. For that purpose, the competent authorities of the beneficiary countries shall require exporters to provide copies or a list of the statements on origin they have made out. 3. The competent authorities of the beneficiary countries shall have the right to call for any evidence and to carry out any inspection of the exporter’s accounts and, where appropriate, those of producers supplying him, including at the premises, or any other check considered appropriate. Article 97h 1. Subsequent verifications of statements on origin shall be carried out at random or whenever the customs authorities of the Member States have reasonable doubts as to their authenticity, the originating status of the products concerned or the fulfilment of other requirements of this section. Where the customs authorities of a Member State request the cooperation of the competent authorities of a beneficiary country to carry out a verification of the validity of statements on origin, the originating status of products, or of both, it shall, where appropriate, indicate on its request the reasons why it has reasonable doubts on the validity of the statement on origin or the originating status of the products. A copy of the statement on origin and any additional information or documents suggesting that the information given on that statement is incorrect may be forwarded in support of the request for verification. The requesting Member State shall set a 6-month initial deadline to communicate the results of the verification, starting from the date of the verification request, with the exception of requests sent to Norway, Switzerland or Turkey for the purpose of verifying replacement statements on origin made out in their territories on the basis of a statement on origin made out in a beneficiary country, for which this deadline shall be extended to eight months. 2. If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within the period specified in paragraph 1 or if the reply does not contain sufficient information to determine the real origin of the products, a second communication shall be sent to the competent authorities. This communication shall set a further deadline of not more than 6 months. Sub-section 8 Other provisions Article 97i 1. Sub-sections 5, 6 and 7 shall apply mutatis mutandis to:
2. European Union exporters shall be considered by the customs authority of a Member State at the exporter’s request as a registered exporter for the purposes of the scheme where the exporter fulfils the following conditions:

The Commission will forward this information to the customs authorities of the Member States. When this information is communicated within the framework of an amendment of previous communications, the Commission will indicate the date of entry into use of those new stamps according to the instructions given by the competent governmental authorities of the beneficiary countries. This information is for official use; however, when goods are to be released for free circulation, the customs authorities in question may allow the importer or his duly authorised representative to consult the specimen impressions of the stamps. Beneficiary countries which have already provided the information required under the first sub-paragraph shall not be obliged to provide it again, unless there has been a change. 2. For the purpose of Article 97k (4) the Commission will publish, in the Official Journal of the European Union (“C” series), the date on which a country or territory admitted or readmitted as a beneficiary country in respect of products referred to in Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 met the obligations set out in paragraph 1. 3.

When a request for subsequent verification has been made, such verification shall be carried out and its results communicated to the customs authorities of the Member States within a maximum of six months or, in the case of requests sent to Norway, Switzerland or Turkey for the purpose of verifying replacement proofs of origin made out in their territories on the basis of a certificate of origin Form A or an invoice declaration made out in a beneficiary country, within a maximum of eight months from the date on which the request was sent. The results shall be such as to establish whether the proof of origin in question applies to the products actually exported and whether these products can be considered as products originating in the beneficiary country. 4. In the case of certificates of origin Form A issued following bilateral cumulation, the reply shall include a copy (copies) of the movement certificate(s) EUR.1 or, where necessary, of the corresponding invoice declaration(s). 5. If, in cases of reasonable doubt, there is no reply within the six months specified in paragraph 3 or if the reply does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document in question or the real origin of the products, a second communication shall be sent to the competent authorities. If after the second communication the results of the verification are not communicated to the requesting authorities within four months from the date on which the second communication was sent, or if these results do not allow the authenticity of the document in question or the real origin of the products to be determined, the requesting authorities shall, except in exceptional circumstances, refuse entitlement to the tariff preferences. 6. Where the verification procedure or any other available information appears to indicate that the rules of origin are being contravened, the exporting beneficiary country shall, on its own initiative or at the request of the customs authorities of the Member States, carry out appropriate inquiries or arrange for such inquiries to be carried out with due urgency to identify and prevent such contraventions. For this purpose, the Commission or the customs authorities of the Member States may participate in the inquiries. 7. For the purposes of the subsequent verification of certificates of origin Form A, the exporters shall keep all appropriate documents proving the originating status of the products concerned and the competent governmental authorities of the exporting beneficiary country shall keep copies of the certificates, as well as any export documents referring to them. These documents shall be kept for at least three years from the end of the year in which the certificate of origin Form A was issued. Article 97u 1. Articles 97s and 97t shall also apply between the countries of the same regional group for the purposes of provision of information to the Commission or to the customs authorities of the Member States and of the subsequent verification of certificates of origin Form A or invoice declarations issued in accordance with the rules on regional cumulation of origin. 2. For the purpose of Articles 85, 97m and 97p, the agreement concluded between the European Union, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey shall include inter alia an undertaking to provide each other with the necessary support in matters of administrative cooperation. For the purpose of Articles 86(7) and (8) and 97k, the country with which the European Union has concluded a free-trade agreement in force and which has agreed to be involved in extended cumulation with a beneficiary country shall also agree to provide the latter with its support in matters of administrative cooperation in the same way as it would provide such support to the customs authorities of the Member States in accordance with the relevant provisions of the free-trade agreement concerned. Sub-section 5 Procedures for the purpose of bilateral cumulation Article 97v 1. Evidence of the originating status of European Union products shall be furnished by either:
2. The exporter or its authorised representative shall enter “GSP beneficiary countries” and “EU”, or “Pays bénéficiaires du SPG” and “UE”, in box 2 of the movement certificate EUR.1. 3. The provisions of this Section concerning the issue, use and subsequent verification of certificates of origin Form A shall apply mutatis mutandis to EUR.1 movement certificates and, with the exception of the provisions concerning their issue, to invoice declarations. 4. The customs authorities of the Member States may authorise any exporter, hereinafter referred to as an “approved exporter”, who makes frequent shipments of products originating in the European Union within the framework of bilateral cumulation to make out invoice declarations, irrespective of the value of the products concerned, where that exporter offers, to the satisfaction of the customs authorities, all guarantees necessary to verify:
5. The customs authorities may grant the status of approved exporter subject to any conditions which they consider appropriate. The customs authorities shall grant to the approved exporter a customs authorisation number which shall appear on the invoice declaration. 6. The customs authorities shall monitor the use of the authorisation by the approved exporter. The customs authorities may withdraw the authorisation at any time. They shall withdraw the authorisation in each of the following cases:
7. An approved exporter shall not be required to sign invoice declarations provided that the approved exporter gives the customs authorities a written undertaking accepting full responsibility for any invoice declaration which identifies the approved exporter as if the approved exporter had signed it in manuscript. Sub-section 6 Ceuta and Melilla Article 97w The provisions of this Section concerning the issue, use and subsequent verification of proofs of origin shall apply mutatis mutandis to products exported from a beneficiary country to Ceuta and Melilla and to products exported from Ceuta and Melilla to a beneficiary country for the purposes of bilateral cumulation. Ceuta and Melilla shall be regarded as a single territory. The Spanish customs authorities shall be responsible for the application of this section in Ceuta and Melilla.’ |

ANNEX I

(referred to in Article 76(1))
INTRODUCTORY NOTES AND LIST OF WORKING OR PROCESSING OPERATIONS WHICH CONFER ORIGINATING STATUS
PART I
INTRODUCTORY NOTES
Note 1 — General introduction
|
1.1. |
This Annex sets out rules for all products, but the fact that a product is included in it does not mean that it is necessarily covered by the scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP). The list of products covered by the GSP, the scope of GSP preferences and the exclusions applicable to certain beneficiary countries are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 (for the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2011). |
|
1.2. |
This Annex lays down the conditions pursuant to Article 76 under which products shall be considered to originate in the beneficiary country concerned. There are four different types of rule, which vary according to the product:
|
Note 2 — The structure of the list
|
2.1. |
Columns 1 and 2 describe the product obtained. Column 1 gives the chapter number, 4-digit heading or 6-digit sub-heading number used in the Harmonized System, as appropriate. Column 2 gives the description of goods used in that system for that heading or chapter. For each entry in columns 1 and 2, subject to Note 2.4, one or more rules (“qualifying operations”) are set out in column 3. These qualifying operations concern only non-originating materials. Where, in some cases, the entry in column 1 is preceded by “ex”, this signifies that the rule in column 3 applies only to the part of that heading as described in column 2. |
|
2.2. |
Where several Harmonized System headings or sub-headings are grouped together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and the description of products in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rule in column 3 applies to all products which, under the Harmonized System, are classified in headings of the chapter or in any of the headings or sub-headings grouped together in column 1. |
|
2.3. |
Where there are different rules in the list applying to different products within a heading, each indent contains the description of that part of the heading covered by the adjacent rule in column 3. |
|
2.4. |
Where two alternative rules are set out in column 3, separated by “or”, it is at the choice of the exporter which one to use. |
|
2.5. |
In most cases, the rule(s) set out in column 3 shall apply to all beneficiary countries (i.e. both those benefiting from the “Special arrangement for least developed countries” (LDCs) of GSP (also known as Everything But Arms or EBA), and those benefiting from the GSP general arrangement or the Special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance, also known as “GSP Plus”. However, for some products a less stringent rule shall apply for products originating in LDCs. In these cases, column 3 is split into two sub-columns, (a) and (b), with sub-column (a) showing the rule applicable to LDCs and sub-column (b) showing the rule applicable to all other beneficiary countries.
The countries benefiting from the special arrangement for the least developed countries are listed in Regulation (EC) No 732/2008. |
Note 3 — Examples of how to apply the rules
|
3.1. |
Article 76(2), concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products, shall apply, regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these products are used or in another factory in the beneficiary country or in the European Union. |
|
3.2. |
Pursuant to Article 78, the working or processing carried out must go beyond the list of operations mentioned in that Article. If it does not, the goods shall not qualify for the granting of the benefit of preferential tariff treatment, even if the conditions set out in the list below are met.
Subject to the provision referred to in the first sub-paragraph, the rules in the list represent the minimum amount of working or processing required, and the carrying-out of more working or processing also confers originating status; conversely, the carrying-out of less working or processing cannot confer originating status. Thus, if a rule provides that non-originating material, at a certain level of manufacture, may be used, the use of such material at an earlier stage of manufacture is allowed, and the use of such material at a later stage is not. |
|
3.3. |
Without prejudice to Note 3.2, where a rule uses the expression “Manufacture from materials of any heading”, then materials of any heading(s) (even materials of the same description and heading as the product) may be used, subject, however, to any specific limitations which may also be contained in the rule.
However, the expression “Manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of heading …” or “Manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of the same heading as the product” means that materials of any heading(s) may be used, except those of the same description as the product as given in column 2 of the list. |
|
3.4. |
When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used. |
|
3.5. |
Where a rule in the list specifies that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the rule does not prevent the use also of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy this condition. |
Note 4 — General provisions concerning certain agricultural goods
|
4.1. |
Agricultural goods falling within Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and heading 2401 which are grown or harvested in the territory of a beneficiary country shall be treated as originating in the territory of that country, even if grown from seeds, bulbs, rootstock, cuttings, grafts, shoots, buds, or other live parts of plants imported from another country. |
|
4.2. |
In cases where the content of non originating sugar in a given product is subject to limitations, the weight of sugars of headings 1701 (sucrose) and 1702 (e.g., fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, isoglucose or invert sugar) used in the manufacture of the final product and used in the manufacture of the non-originating products incorporated in the final product is taken into account for the calculation of such limitations. |
Note 5 — Terminology used in respect of certain textile products
|
5.1. |
The term “natural fibres” is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres. It is restricted to the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres which have been carded, combed or otherwise processed, but not spun. |
|
5.2. |
The term “natural fibres” includes horsehair of heading 0503, silk of headings 5002 and 5003, as well as wool-fibres and fine or coarse animal hair of headings 5101 to 5105, cotton fibres of headings 5201 to 5203, and other vegetable fibres of headings 5301 to 5305. |
|
5.3. |
The terms “textile pulp”, “chemical materials” and “paper-making materials” are used in the list to describe the materials, not classified in Chapters 50 to 63, which can be used to manufacture artificial, synthetic or paper fibres or yarns. |
|
5.4. |
The term “man-made staple fibres” is used in the list to refer to synthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of headings 5501 to 5507. |
Note 6 — Tolerances applicable to products made of a mixture of textile materials
6.1. Where, for a given product in the list, reference is made to this Note, the conditions set out in column 3 shall not be applied to any basic textile materials used in the manufacture of this product and which, taken together, represent 10 % or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 6.3 and 6.4)
6.2. However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 6.1 may be applied only to mixed products which have been made from two or more basic textile materials.
The following are the basic textile materials:
|
— |
silk, |
|
— |
wool, |
|
— |
coarse animal hair, |
|
— |
fine animal hair, |
|
— |
horsehair, |
|
— |
cotton, |
|
— |
paper-making materials and paper, |
|
— |
flax, |
|
— |
true hemp, |
|
— |
jute and other textile bast fibres, |
|
— |
sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave, |
|
— |
coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres, |
|
— |
synthetic man-made filaments, |
|
— |
artificial man-made filaments, |
|
— |
current-conducting filaments, |
|
— |
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene, |
|
— |
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester, |
|
— |
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide, |
|
— |
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile, |
|
— |
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide, |
|
— |
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene, |
|
— |
synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(phenylene sulphide), |
|
— |
synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(vinyl chloride), |
|
— |
other synthetic man-made staple fibres, |
|
— |
artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose, |
|
— |
other artificial man-made staple fibres, |
|
— |
yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped, |
|
— |
yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester, whether or not gimped, |
|
— |
products of heading 5605 (metallised yarn) incorporating strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film, |
|
— |
other products of heading 5605, |
|
— |
glass fibres, |
|
— |
metal fibres. |
Example:
A yarn, of heading 5205, made from cotton fibres of heading 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading 5506, is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating synthetic staple fibres which do not satisfy the origin rules may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the yarn.
Example:
A woollen fabric, of heading 5112, made from woollen yarn of heading 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading 5509, is a mixed fabric. Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules, or woollen yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules, or a combination of the two, may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the fabric.
Example:
Tufted textile fabric, of heading 5802, made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and cotton fabric of heading 5210, is only a mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric made from yarns classified in two separate headings, or if the cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures.
Example:
If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is, accordingly, a mixed product.
6.3. In the case of products incorporating “yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped”, the tolerance is 20 % in respect of this yarn.
6.4. In the case of products incorporating “strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film”, the tolerance is 30 % in respect of this strip.
Note 7 — Other tolerances applicable to certain textile products
7.1. Where, in the list, reference is made to this Note, textile materials which do not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column 3 for the made-up product concerned, may be used, provided that they are classified in a heading other than that of the product and that their value does not exceed 8 % of the ex-works price of the product.
7.2. Without prejudice to Note 7.3, materials, which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63, may be used freely in the manufacture of textile products, whether or not they contain textiles.
Example:
If a rule in the list provides that, for a particular textile item (such as trousers), yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because buttons are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners, even though slide-fasteners normally contain textiles.
7.3. Where a percentage-rule applies, the value of materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 must be taken into account when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated.
Note 8 — Definition of specific processes and simple operations carried out in respect of certain products of Chapter 27
|
8.1. |
For the purposes of headings ex ex 2707 and 2713, the “specific processes” are the following:
|
|
8.2. |
For the purposes of headings 2710, 2711 and 2712, the “specific processes” are the following:
|
|
8.3. |
For the purposes of headings ex ex 2707 and 2713, simple operations, such as cleaning, decanting, desalting, water-separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur-content as a result of mixing products with different sulphur-contents, or any combination of these operations or like operations, do not confer origin. |
