method where during a given fiscal year, or a shorter represent ative 
period of no less than three months, they record that the fluct uations 
in costs or currency rates which justified the use of such a me thod have 
ceased.

Calculation of the amount of import duty on processed products 
resulting from inward processing  
(Article 86(3) of the Code)  
1. In order to determine the amount of import duty to be charge d on 
processed products in accordance with Article 86(3) of the Code , the 
quantity of the goods placed under the inward processing proced ure 
considered to be present in the processed products for which a 
customs debt is incurred shall be determined in accordance with  para­
graphs 2 to 6.  
2. The quantitative scale method laid down in paragraphs 3 and 4 
shall be applied in the following cases:  
(a) where only one kind of processed products is derived from t he 
processing operations;  
(b) where different kinds of processed products are derived fro m the 
processing operations and all constituents or components of the  
goods placed under the procedure are found in each of those 
processed products.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 52  
3. In the case referred to in paragraph 2(a), the quantity of t he goods 
placed under the inward processing procedure considered to be p resent 
in the processed products for which a customs debt is incurred shall be 
determined by applying the percentage which the processed produ cts for 
which a customs debt is incurred constitute of the total quanti ty of the 
processed products resulting from the processing operation, to the total 
quantity of the goods placed under the inward processing proced ure. 
4. In the case referred to in paragraph 2(b), the quantity of t he goods 
placed under the inward processing procedure considered to be p resent 
in the processed products for which a customs debt is incurred shall be 
determined by applying, to the total quantity of the goods plac ed under 
the inward processing procedure, a percentage calculated by mul tiplying 
the following factors:  
(a) the percentage which the processed products for which a cus toms 
debt is incurred constitute of the total quantity of the proces sed 
products of the same kind resulting from the processing operati on; 
(b) the percentage which the total quantity of the processed pr oducts of 
the same kind, irrespective of whether a customs debt is incurr ed, 
constitutes of the total quantity of all processed products res ulting 
from the processing operation.  
5. Quantities of goods placed under the procedure which are 
destroyed and lost during the processing operation, in particul ar by 
evaporation, desiccation, sublimation or leakage, shall not be taken 
into account in the application of the quantitative scale metho d. 
6. In cases other than those referred to in paragraph 2, the va lue scale 
method shall apply in accordance with the second, third and fou rth 
subparagraphs.  
The quantity of the goods placed under the inward processing pr ocedure 
considered to be present in processed products for which a cust oms debt 
is incurred shall be determined by applying, to the total quant ity of the 
goods placed under the inward processing procedure, a percentag e 
calculated by multiplying the following factors:  
(a) the percentage which the processed products for which a cus toms 
debt is incurred constitute of the total value of the processed  
products of the same kind resulting from the processing operati on; 
(b) the percentage which the total value of the processed produ cts of 
the same kind, irrespective of whether a customs debt is incurr ed, 
constitute of the total value of all processed products resulti ng from 
the processing operation.  
For the purposes of applying the value scale method, the value of the 
processed products shall be established on the basis of current  ex-works 
prices in the customs territory of the Union or, where such ex- works 
prices cannot be determined, the current selling prices in the customs 
territory of the Union for identical or similar products. Price s between 
parties which appear to be associated or to have a compensatory  
arrangement with each other may not be used for the determinati on 
of the value of the processed products unless it is determined that the 
prices are unaffected by the relationship.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 53  
Where the value of the processed products cannot be determined 
pursuant to the third subparagraph, it shall be determined by a ny 
reasonable method.

benefit from a duty exemption or a reduced rate of duty on acco unt 
of their specific use, which would have been applied to those g oods if 
they had been placed under the end-use procedure in accordance with 
Article 254 of the Code.  
2. Paragraph 1 shall apply where the following conditions are 
fulfilled:  
(a) an authorisation to place the goods under the end-use proce dure

time of acceptance of the declaration of release for free circu lation.  
Article 75  
Specific import duty on processed products resulting from outward 
processing or replacement products  
(Article 86(5) of the Code)

ment products, the amount of the import duty shall be calculate d on the 
basis of the customs value of the processed products at the tim e of 
acceptance of the customs declaration for release for free circ ulation  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 54  
minus the statistical value of the corresponding temporary expo rt goods

safeguard measure or an additional duty resulting from a suspen sion 
of concessions if they were declared for release for free circu lation 
and the case is not covered by Article 167(1) (h), (i), (m) or (p) of 
this Regulation.

requested procedure codes, shall not be used for customs declar ations 
lodged in the context of centralised clearance where more than one

unless otherwise provided in Title II.  
(12) The simplified declarations referred to in Article 166 of the Code contain 
the information detailed in columns C1 and I1.  
(13) The reduced list of data elements provided for procedures in columns C1 
and I1 does not limit or influence the requirements set out for  the 
procedures in the other columns of the data requirements table,  notably in 
respect of the information to be provided in supplementary decl arations.

TITLE II  
Notes  
CHAPTER 1  
General description  
(1) The paper-based customs declaration shall be printed on sel f-copying paper 
dressed for writing purposes and weighing at least 40 g/m  2 . The paper must 
be sufficiently opaque for the information on one side not to a ffect the 
legibility of the information on the other side and its strengt h should be 
such that in normal use it does not easily tear or crease.  
(2) The paper shall be white for all copies. However, on the co pies used for 
Union transit (1, 4 and 5), boxes 1 (first and third subdivisio ns), 2, 3, 4, 5, 
6, 8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 25, 27, 31, 32, 33 (first subdivision  on the left), 35, 
38, 40, 44, 50, 51, 52, 53, 55 and 56 shall have a green backgr ound.  
The forms shall be printed in green ink.  
(3) The boxes are based on a unit of measurement of one tenth o f an inch 
horizontally and one sixth of an inch vertically. The subdivisi ons are based 
on a unit of measurement of one-tenth of an inch horizontally.  
(4) A colour marking of the different copies shall be effected in the following 
manner on forms conforming to the specimens shown in Titles III  and IV of 
this Annex:  
— copies 1, 2, 3 and 5 shall have at the right hand edge a cont inuous 
margin, coloured respectively red, green, yellow and blue,  
— copies 4, 6, 7 and 8 shall have at the right hand edge a brok en margin 
coloured respectively blue, red, green and yellow;  
(5) The copies on which the data contained in the forms shown i n Titles III and 
IV of this Annex must appear by a self-copying process are show n in Title 
V, Chapter 1 of this Annex.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 501  
(6) The forms shall measure 210 × 297 mm with a maximum toleran ce as to 
length of 5 mm less and 8 mm more.  
(7) The customs administrations of the Member States may requir e that the 
forms show the name and address of the printer or a mark enabli ng the 
printer to be identified. They may also make the printing of th e forms 
conditional on prior technical approval.  
(8) The forms and continuation forms used comprise the copies n eeded to 
complete the formalities relating to one or more customs proced ures, 
taken from a set of eight copies:  
— copy 1 is kept by the authorities of the Member State in whic h export 
(dispatch) or Union transit formalities are completed,  
— copy 2 is used for statistical purposes by the Member State o f export. 
This copy can be used as well for statistical purposes by the M ember 
State of dispatch in cases of trade between parts of the custom s territory 
of the Union with a different fiscal regime,  
— copy 3 is returned to the exporter after being stamped by the  customs 
authority,  
— copy 4 is kept by the office of destination upon completion o f the Union 
transit operation or as the document providing evidence of the customs 
status of Union goods,  
— copy 5 is the return copy for the Union transit procedure,  
— copy 6 is kept by the authorities of the Member State in whic h import 
formalities are completed,  
— copy 7 is used for statistical purposes by the Member State o f import. 
This copy can be used as well for statistical purposes by the M ember 
State of import in cases of trade between parts of the customs territory 
of the Union with a different fiscal regime,  
— copy 8 is returned to the consignee.  
Various combinations are therefore possible, such as:  
— export, outward processing or re-export: copies 1, 2 and 3,  
— Union transit: copies 1, 4 and 5,  
— customs procedures at import: copies 6, 7 and 8.  
(9) In addition, according to Article 125, the customs status o f Union goods 
can be proved by a written proof established on a copy 4.  
(10) Economic operators may, if they wish, use privately printe d subsets 
combining the appropriate copies, provided that they conform to  the 
official specimen.  
Each subset must be designed in such a way that where boxes mus t contain 
identical information in the two Member States involved, such i nformation 
can be entered directly by the exporter or the holder of the tr ansit procedure 
on copy 1 and will then appear, by means of chemical treatment of the 
paper, on all the copies. Where, however, for any reason (in pa rticular 
where the content of the information differs according to the s tage of the 
operation involved) the information is not to be transmitted fr om one 
Member State to another, the desensitisation of the self-copyin g paper 
must confine reproduction to the copies concerned.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 502  
(11) When, pursuant to Article 5 of this Annex, declarations fo r placing goods 
under a customs procedure, for re-export, or documents certifyi ng the 
customs status of Union goods not being moved under the interna l Union 
transit procedure are drawn up on plain paper by means of offic ial or 
private-sector data-processing systems, the format of the said declarations 
or documents must comply with all the conditions laid down by t he Union 
Customs Code or this Regulation, including those relating to th e back of the 
form (in respect of copies used under the Union transit procedu re), except:  
— the colour used for printing,  
— the use of italic characters,  
— the printing of a background for the Union transit boxes.  
CHAPTER 2  
Data requirements  
The forms contain a number of boxes only some of which will be used, 
depending on the customs procedure(s) in question.  
Without prejudice to the application of simplified procedures, the boxes that 
correspond to the data elements which may be completed for each  procedure 
are set out in the data requirements table of Annex B, Title I.  The specific 
provisions concerning each box that corresponds to the data ele ments as they 
are described in Annex B, Title II apply without prejudice to t he status to the 
data elements concerned.  
FORMALITIES EN ROUTE  
Between the time when the goods leave the office of export and/ or departure, and 
the time when they arrive at the office of destination, certain  data may have to be 
entered on the copies of the Single Administrative Document acc ompanying the 
goods. These data elements concern the transport operation and are to be entered 
on the document in the course of the operation by the carrier r esponsible for the 
means of transport on which the goods are directly loaded. The data may be 
added legibly by hand; in this case, the form should be complet ed in ink in block 
capitals. These data elements, which only appear on copies 4 an d 5, concern the 
following boxes:  
— Transhipments (55)  
— Other incidents during carriage (56)  
CHAPTER 3  
Instructions for use of the forms  
Whenever a particular subset contains one or more copies which may be used in 
a Member State other than the one in which it was first complet ed, the forms 
must be completed by typewriter or by a mechanographical or sim ilar process. 
For ease of completion by typewriter the form should be inserte d in the machine 
in such a way that the first letter of the data to be entered i n box 2 is placed in 
the position box in the top left-hand corner.  
Where all the copies of a subset are intended for use in the sa me Member State, 
they may be filled in legibly by hand, in ink and in block capi tals, provided that 
this is allowed in that Member State. The same applies to the d ata to be given on 
the copies used for the purposes of the Union transit procedure . 
The form must contain no erasures or overwriting. Any alteratio ns must be made 
by crossing out the incorrect data and adding those required. A ny alterations 
made in this way must be initialled by the person making them a nd expressly 
endorsed by the competent authorities. The latter may, where ne cessary, require a 
new declaration to be lodged.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 503  
In addition, the forms may be completed using an automatic repr oduction process 
instead of any of the procedures mentioned above. They may also  be produced 
and completed by this means on condition that the provisions co ncerning the 
specimen forms, format, language used, legibility, absence of e rasures and over­
writing, and amendments are strictly observed.  
Only numbered boxes are to be completed, as appropriate, by ope rators. The 
other boxes, identified by a capital letter, are for administra tive use.  
Without prejudice to Article 1(3) of the Code, the copies which  are to remain at 
the office of export/dispatch or departure must bear the origin al signature of the 
persons concerned.  
The lodging with a customs office of a declaration signed by th e declarant or his 
representative shall indicate that the person concerned is decl aring the goods in 
question for the procedure applied for and, without prejudice t o the possible 
application of sanctions, shall be held responsible, in accorda nce with the 
provisions in force in the Member States, in respect of:  
— the accuracy of the information given in the declaration,  
— the authenticity of the documents attached,  
— the observance of all the obligations inherent in the placeme nt of the goods in 
question under the procedure concerned.  
The signature of the holder of the transit procedure or, where applicable, his 
authorised representative commits him in respect of all data re lating to the Union 
transit operation pursuant to the provisions on Union transit l aid down in the 
Union Customs Code and in this Regulation and as listed in Anne x B Title I.  
Unless Chapter 4 provides otherwise, a box that is not to be us ed should be left 
completely blank.  
CHAPTER 4  
Remarks concerning the continuation forms  
A. Continuation forms should only be used where the declaration  covers more 
than one item (cf. box 5). They must be presented together with  an IM, EX, 
EU or CO form.  
B. The instructions in this title also apply to the continuatio n forms.  
However:  
— the symbols ‘IM/c’, ‘EX/c’ or ‘EU/c’ (or ‘CO/c’ where applica ble) must 
be entered in the first subdivision of box 1, that subdivision being left 
blank only where:  
— the form is used for Union transit only, in which case, depen ding on 
the Union transit procedure applicable to the goods concerned, 
‘T1bis’, ‘T2bis’, ‘T2Fbis’ or ‘T2SMbis’ will be entered in the third 
subdivision of box 1,  
— the form is used solely to furnish proof of the customs statu s of Union 
goods, in which case, depending on the status of the goods conc erned, 
‘T2Lbis’, ‘T2LFbis’ or ‘T2LSMbis’ will be entered in the third 
subdivision of the box,  
— box 2/8 is for optional use by the Member States and should s how only 
the identification number and/or name, if any, of the person co ncerned,  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 504  
— the ‘summary’ part of box 47 concerns the final summary of al l the items 
covered by the IM and IM/c, EX and EX/c, EU and EU/c or CO and 
CO/c forms used. It should therefore be used only on the last o f the IM/c, 
EX/c, EU/c or CO/c forms attached to an IM, EX, EU or CO docume nt in 
order to show the total payable by type of tax.  
C. If continuation forms are used,  
— any boxes 31 (Packages and description of goods) which have n ot been 
used must be struck out to prevent later use,  
— when the third subdivision of box 1 contains the symbol T, bo xes 32 
(Item number), 33 (Commodity code), 35 (Gross mass (kg)), 38 (N et 
mass (kg)), 40 (Summary declaration/previous document) and 44 
(Additional information, documents produced, certificates and a uthoris­
ations) of the first item of goods of the transit declaration u sed must 
be struck through and the first box 31 (Packages and descriptio n of 
goods) of the declaration may not be used to enter the marks, n umbers, 
number and kind of packages or goods description. In the first box 31 of 
the declaration, reference will be made, as appropriate, to the  number of 
continuation forms bearing the respective symbols T1bis, T2bis or 
T2Fbis.  ▼B

TITLE I  
Data requirements  
CHAPTER 1  
Introductory notes to the data requirements table  
(1) The declaration messages contain a number of data elements only some of 
which will be used, depending on the customs procedure(s) in qu estion.  
(2) The data elements which may be provided for each procedure are set out in 
the data requirements table. The specific provisions concerning  each data 
element as they are described in Title II apply without prejudi ce to the 
status of the data elements as defined in the data requirements  table. The 
provisions that apply to all situations where the data element concerned is 
requested are included in the heading ‘All relevant data requir ements table 
columns used’. In addition, the provisions that apply to specif ic table 
columns are included in specific sections that refer precisely to those 
columns. Both sets of provisions need to be combined to reflect  the 
situation of each table column.  
(3) The ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ symbols listed in Chapter 2, section 3 below have no 
bearing on the fact that certain data is collected only where c ircumstances 
warrant it. For example, the supplementary units (status ‘A’) w ill only be 
collected where required by the Union legislation, as published  in TARIC.  
(4) The ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ symbols defined in Chapter 2, section 3  may be 
complemented by conditions or clarifications listed in the foot notes 
attached to the data requirements table of Chapter 3, section 1  below.  
(5) If the Member State of acceptance of the customs declaratio n allows, a 
Customs declaration (columns H1 to H6) or a simplified declarat ion 
(column I1) can include items of goods which are subject to dif ferent 
procedure codes, providing that these procedure codes all use t he same 
dataset as defined in chapter 3, section 1 and belong to the sa me column 
of the matrix as defined in Chapter 2. However, this possibilit y shall not be 
used for customs declarations lodged in the context of centrali sed clearance 
pursuant to Article 179 of the Code.  
(6) Without affecting in any way the obligations to provide dat a according to 
this Annex and without prejudice to Article 15 of the Code, the  content of 
the data provided to customs for a given requirement will be ba sed on the 
information as it is known by the economic operator that provid es it at the 
time it is provided to Customs.  
(7) For the purposes of this Annex, an express consignment mean s an indi­
vidual item carried via an integrated service of expedited/time -definite 
collection, transport, customs clearance and delivery of parcel s whilst 
tracking the location of, and maintaining control over such ite ms throughout 
the supply of the service.  
(8) The use within this annex of the words entry summary declar ations refer 
respectively to the entry summary declarations provided for und er Articles 
5(9) of the Code.  ▼M9
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 558  
(9) The simplified declarations referred to in Article 166 of t he Code contain 
the information detailed in column I1.  
(10) The reduced list of data elements provided for procedures in column I1 
does not limit or influence the requirements set out for the pr ocedures in the 
other columns of the data requirements table, notably in respec t of the 
information to be provided in supplementary declarations.  
(11) The formats, codes and, if applicable, the structure of th e data requirements 
described in this Annex are specified in Implementing Regulatio n (EU) 
2015/2447.  
(12) Member States shall notify the Commission of the list of p articulars they 
require for each of the procedures referred to in this Annex. T he 
Commission shall publish the list of those particulars.

ANNEX 22-01  
Introductory notes and list of substantial processing or working operations 
conferring non-preferential origin  
INTRODUCTORY NOTES  
1. Definitions  
1.1. References to ‘manufacturing’, ‘producing’ or ‘processing’  goods include 
any kind of working, assembly or processing operation.  
Methods of obtaining goods include manufacturing, producing, pr ocessing, 
raising, growing, breeding, mining, extracting, harvesting, fis hing, trapping, 
gathering, collecting, hunting and capturing.  
1.2. ‘Material’ includes ingredients, parts, components, subass emblies and goods 
that were physically incorporated into another good or were sub ject to a 
process in the production of another good.  
‘Originating material’ means a material whose country of origin , as 
determined under these rules, is the same country as the countr y in which 
the material is used in production.  
‘Non-originating material’ means a material whose country of or igin, as 
determined under these rules, is not the same country as the co untry in 
which that material is used in production.  
‘Product’ means the product being manufactured, even if it is i ntended for 
later use in another manufacturing operation.  
1.3. Value added rule  
(a) ‘X% value added rule’ means manufacture where the increase in value 
acquired as a result of working and processing, and if applicab le, the 
incorporation of parts originating in the country of manufactur e 
represents at least X% of the ex-works price of the product. ‘X ’ 
represents the percentage indicated for each heading.  
(b) ‘Value acquired as a result of working and processing and i ncorporation 
of parts originating in the country of manufacture’ means the i ncrease in 
value resulting from the assembly itself, together with any pre paratory, 
finishing and checking operations, and from the incorporation o f any 
parts originating in the country where the operations in questi on were 
carried out, including profit and the general costs borne in th at country 
as a result of the operations.  
(c) ‘Ex-works price’ means the price paid or to be paid for the  product 
ready for collection at the manufacturer’s premises in whose un der­
taking the last working or processing is carried out; this pric e must 
reflect all costs related to the manufacturing of the product ( including 
the cost of all the materials used), minus any internal taxes w hich are, or 
may be, repaid when the product obtained is exported or re-expo rted. 
Where the actual price paid does not reflect all costs related to the manu­
facturing of the product which are actually incurred, the ex-wo rks price 
means the sum of all those costs, minus any internal taxes whic h are, or 
may be, repaid when the product obtained is exported or re-expo rted; 
1.4. Complete making up  
The term ‘complete making-up’ used in the list means that all t he operations 
following cutting of the fabric or knitting or crocheting of th e fabric directly 
to shape have to be performed. However, making-up shall not nec essarily be 
considered as incomplete where one or more finishing operations  have not 
been carried out.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 592  
1.5. Where the term ‘country’ is used in this Annex, it shall b e understood to 
refer to ‘country or territory’.  
2. Application of the rules in this Annex  
2.1. The rules provided in this Annex are to be applied to good s on the basis of 
their classification in the Harmonised System, as well as on fu rther criteria 
which may be provided for in addition to the Harmonised System headings 
or subheadings created specifically for the purposes of this An nex. A 
Harmonised System heading or subheading which is further subdiv ided 
using such criteria is referred to in this Annex as ‘split head ing’ or ‘split 
subheading’.  ►M3 ‘Harmonised System’ or ‘HS’ means the goods nomen­
clature established under the International Convention on the H armonized 
Commodity Description and Coding System, as amended by Recommen ­
dation of the Customs Cooperation Council of 27 June 2014 (‘HS 
2017’). ◄  
Classification of goods within headings and subheadings of the Harmonised 
System is governed by the General rules for the interpretation of the 
Harmonised System and any relative Section, Chapter and Subhead ing 
Notes to that System. Those rules and notes form part of the Co mbined 
Nomenclature, which is set out in Annex I to Council Regulation  (EEC) No 
2658/87. For the purposes of the identification of a correct sp lit heading or 
subheading for certain goods in this Annex, the General rules f or the inter­
pretation of the Harmonised System and any relative Section, Ch apter and 
Subheading notes to that System, are to apply  mutatis mutandis , unless 
otherwise required in this Annex.  
2.2. Reference to a change in tariff classification in the prim ary rules laid down 
below shall apply only to non-originating materials.  
2.3. Materials which have acquired originating status in a coun try are considered 
to be originating materials of that country for the purpose of determining the 
origin of a good incorporating such materials, or of a good mad e from such 
materials by further working or processing in that country.  
2.4. When it is not commercially practical to keep separate sto cks of inter­
changeable materials or goods originating in different countrie s, the 
country of origin of commingled materials or goods that are int erchangeable 
may be allocated on the basis of an inventory management method  
recognized in the country in which the materials or goods were commingled.  
2.5. For the purposes of the application of primary rules based  on tariff classifi­
cation change, non-originating materials that do not satisfy th e primary rule 
shall, unless otherwise specified in a certain Chapter, be disr egarded, 
provided that the total value of such materials does not exceed  10 % of 
the ex-works price of the good.  
2.6. Primary rules laid down at Chapter level (Chapter primary rules) have the 
same value as primary rules laid down at subdivision level and can be 
applied alternatively.  
3. Glossary  
The primary rules at subdivision level, when they are based on a change in 
tariff classification, can be expressed using the following abb reviations.  ▼B

Definition  
For the purposes of this Chapter, the expressions ‘cold-rolled (cold-reduced)’ and 
‘cold-formed’ mean cold reduction resulting in changes to the c rystalline 
structure of the workpiece. The expressions do not include very  light cold- 
rolling and cold-forming processes (skin pass or pinch pass) wh ich act only on 
the surface of the material and do not result in change to its crystalline structure.  
Chapter Note  
For the purposes of this Chapter, a change of classification re sulting only from 
cutting is not to be considered as origin-conferring.

ANNEX 22-03  
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 t hat a product is 
included in it does not mean that it is necessarily covered by the generalised 
system of preferences (GSP). The list of products covered by th e GSP, the 
scope of GSP preferences and the exclusions applicable to certa in benefici­
ary countries are laid down in Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 (for  the period 
from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2023).  
1.2. This Annex lays down the conditions pursuant to Article 45  under which 
products shall be considered to originate in the beneficiary co untry 
concerned. There are four different types of rule, which vary a ccording to 
the product:  
(a) through working or processing a maximum content of non-orig inating 
materials is not exceeded;  
(b) through working or processing the 4-digit Harmonized System  heading 
or 6-digit Harmonized System sub-heading of the manufactured 
products becomes different from the 4-digit Harmonized System 
heading or 6-digit sub-heading respectively of the materials us ed; 
(c) a specific working and processing operation is carried out;  
(d) working or processing is carried out on certain wholly obta ined 
materials.  
Note 2 – The structure of the list  
2.1. Columns 1 and 2 describe the product obtained. Column 1 gi ves the chapter 
number, 4-digit heading or 6-digit sub-heading number used in t he 
Harmonized System, as appropriate. Column 2 gives the descripti on 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 (‘quali fying oper­
ations’) are set out in column 3. These qualifying operations c oncern only 
non-originating materials. Where, in some cases, the entry in c olumn 1 is 
preceded by ‘ex’, this signifies that the rule in column 3 appl ies only to the 
part of that heading as described in column 2.  
2.2. Where several Harmonized System headings or sub-headings a re grouped 
together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and the descr iption of 
products in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the a djacent rule in 
column 3 applies to all products which, under the Harmonized Sy stem, 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 di fferent 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, separ ated by ‘ or’, it is 
at the choice of the exporter which one to use.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 657  
2.5. In most cases, the rule(s) set out in column 3 shall apply  to all beneficiary 
countries listed in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 978/2012. Ho wever, for 
some products originating in beneficiary countries of the speci al 
arrangement for least developed countries, as listed in Annex I V to Regu­
lation (EU) No 978/2012 (‘LDC beneficiary countries’), a less s tringent rule 
shall apply. In these cases, column 3 is split into two subcolu mns, (a) and 
(b), with subcolumn (a) showing the rule applicable to LDC bene ficiary 
countries and subcolumn (b) showing the rule applicable to all other ben­
eficiary countries as well as to exports from the European Unio n to a 
beneficiary country for the purposes of bilateral cumulation.  
Note 3 – Examples of how to apply the rules  
3.1. Article 45(2), concerning products having acquired origina ting status which 
are used in the manufacture of other products, shall apply, reg ardless 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 47, 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 pref erential tariff 
treatment, even if the conditions set out in the list below are  met.  
Subject to the provision referred to in the first subparagraph,  the rules in the 
list represent the minimum amount of working or processing requ ired, and 
the carrying-out of more working or processing also confers ori ginating 
status; conversely, the carrying-out of less working or process ing cannot 
confer originating status. Thus, if a rule provides that non-or iginating 
material, at a certain level of manufacture, may be used, the u se 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 expre ssion ‘Manu­
facture from materials of any heading’, then materials of any h eading(s) 
(even materials of the same description and heading as the prod uct) may 
be used, subject, however, to any specific limitations which ma y also be 
contained in the rule.  
However, the expression ‘Manufacture from materials of any head ing, 
including other materials of heading …’ or ‘Manufacture from ma terials 
of any heading, including other materials of the same heading a s the 
product’ means that materials of any heading(s) may be used, ex cept 
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 ma nufactured from 
more than one material, this means that one or more materials m ay 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 o f other materials 
which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy this co ndition.  
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 benefic iary country 
shall be treated as originating in the territory of that countr y, even if grown 
from seeds, bulbs, rootstock, cuttings, grafts, shoots, buds, o r other live parts 
of plants imported from another country.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 658  
4.2. In cases where the content of non originating sugar in a g iven 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 ma nufacture 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, b ut not 
spun.  
5.2. The term ‘natural fibres’ includes horsehair of heading 05 03, silk of 
headings 5002 and 5003, as well as wool-fibres and fine or coar se animal 
hair of headings 5101 to 5105, cotton fibres of headings 5201 t o 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 p aper fibres or 
yarns.  
5.4. The term ‘man-made staple fibres’ is used in the list to r efer to synthetic or 
artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of headings 55 01 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 basi c textile 
materials used in the manufacture of this product and which, ta ken 
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 applie d only to 
mixed products which have been made from two or more basic text ile 
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;  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 659  
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 p olyether, 
whether or not gimped;  
yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of p olyester, 
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 o r not coated 
with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiche d 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 520 3 and 
synthetic staple fibres of heading 5506, is a mixed yarn. There fore, non- 
originating synthetic staple fibres which do not satisfy the or igin 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 he ading 
5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading 5509, is a mixed fabric. 
Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rul es, 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 1 0 % of the 
weight of the fabric.  
Example:  
Tufted textile fabric, of heading 5802, made from cotton yarn o f 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 classifi ed in two 
separate headings, or if the cotton yarns used are themselves m ixtures.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 660  
Example:  
If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotto n yarn of 
heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading 5407, then, obviou sly, the 
yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tuf ted textile 
fabric is, accordingly, a mixed product.  
6.3. In the case of products incorporating ‘yarn made of polyur ethane segmented 
with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped’, th e 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 coat ed 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, textil e materials which do 
not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column 3 for the ma de-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 cl assified within 
Chapters 50 to 63, may be used freely in the manufacture of tex tile 
products, whether or not they contain textiles.  
Example:  
If a rule in the list provides that, for a particular textile i tem (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 Chap ters 50 to 63. 
For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-faste ners, even 
though slide-fasteners normally contain textiles.  
7.3. Where a percentage-rule applies, the value of materials wh ich are not clas­
sified 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 2707 and 2713, the ‘specif ic processes’ are 
the following:  
(a) vacuum-distillation;  
(b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation-process (  1 ); 
(c) cracking;  
(d) reforming;  
(e) extraction by means of selective solvents;  
(f) the process comprising all of the following operations: pro cessing with 
concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neut ralisation 
with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification with nat urally- 
active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;  
(g) polymerisation;  
(h) alkylation;  
(i) isomerisation.  ▼B 
( 1 ) See Additional note 5(b) to Chapter 27 of the Combined Nomenc lature.
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 661  
8.2. For the purposes of headings 2710, 2711 and 2712, the ‘spe cific processes’ 
are the following:  
(a) vacuum-distillation;  
(b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation-process (  1 ); 
(c) cracking;  
(d) reforming;  
(e) extraction by means of selective solvents;  
(f) the process comprising all of the following operations: pro cessing with 
concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neut rali­
sation with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification w ith 
naturally-active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;  
(g) polymerisation;  
(h) alkylation;  
(i) isomerisation;  
(j) in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 only, desulphur isation with 
hydrogen, resulting in a reduction of at least 85 % of the sulp hur- 
content of the products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method);  
(k) in respect of products of heading 2710 only, deparaffining by a process 
other than filtering;  
(l) in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 only, treatment  with 
hydrogen, at a pressure of more than 20 bar and a temperature o f 
more than 250 °C, with the use of a catalyst, other than to eff ect 
desulphurisation, when the hydrogen constitutes an active eleme nt in 
a chemical reaction. The further treatment, with hydrogen, of l ubri­
cating oils of heading ex 2710 (e.g. hydrofinishing or decolour isation), 
in order, more especially, to improve colour or stability shall  not, 
however, be deemed to be a specific process;  
(m) in respect of fuel oils of heading ex 2710 only, atmospheri c distillation, 
on condition that less than 30 % of these products distils, by volume, 
including losses, at 300 °C, by the ASTM D 86 method;  
(n) in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils of heading 
ex 2710 only, treatment by means of a high-frequency electrical  brush- 
discharge.  
(o) in respect of crude products (other than petroleum jelly, o zokerite, 
lignite wax or peat wax, paraffin wax containing by weight less  than 
0,75 % of oil) of heading ex 2712 only, de-oiling by fractional  cryst­
allisation.  
8.3. For the purposes of headings ex 2707 and 2713, simple oper ations, such as 
cleaning, decanting, desalting, water-separation, filtering, co louring, 
marking, obtaining a sulphur-content as a result of mixing prod ucts with 
different sulphur-contents, or any combination of these operati ons or like 
operations, do not confer origin.  ▼B

ANNEX 22-11  
Introductory notes and list of working or processing required to be carried 
out on non-originating materials in order that the product manufactured can 
obtain originating status  
PART I  
INTRODUCTORY NOTES  
Note 1:  
The list sets out the conditions required for all products to b e considered as 
sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 61. 
Note 2:  
2.1. The first two columns in the list describe the product obt ained. The first 
column gives the heading number or chapter number used in the 
Harmonized System and the second column gives the description o f 
goods used in that system for that heading or chapter. For each  entry in 
the first two columns, a rule is specified in column 3 or 4. Wh ere, in some 
cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an ‘ex’, th is signifies that 
the rules in column 3 or 4 apply only to the part of that headi ng as 
described in column 2.  
2.2. Where several heading numbers are grouped together in colu mn 1 or a 
chapter number is given and the description of products in colu mn 2 is 
therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rules in column 3 or 4 
apply to all products which, under the Harmonized System, are c lassified 
in headings of the chapter or in any of the headings grouped to gether in 
column 1.  
2.3. Where there are different rules in the list applying to di fferent products 
within a heading, each indent contains the description of that part of the 
heading covered by the adjacent rules in column 3 or 4.  
2.4. Where, for an entry in the first two columns, a rule is sp ecified in both 
columns 3 and 4, the exporter may opt to apply either the rule set out in 
column 3 or that set out in column 4. If no origin rule is give n in column 4, 
the rule set out in column 3 is to be applied.  
Note 3:  
3.1. The provisions of Article 61, concerning products having a cquired originat­
ing 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 beneficiar y country or 
territory or in the Union.  
Example:  
An engine of heading 8407, for which the rule states that the v alue of the 
non-originating materials which may be incorporated may not exc eed 40 % 
of the ex-works price, is made from ‘other alloy steel roughly shaped by 
forging’ of heading ex 7224.  
If this forging has been forged in the beneficiary country or t erritory from a 
non-originating ingot, it has already acquired originating stat us by virtue of 
the rule for heading ex 7224 in the list. The forging can then count as 
originating in the value-calculation for the engine, regardless  of whether it 
was produced in the same factory or in another factory in the b eneficiary 
country or territory. The value of the non-originating ingot is  thus not taken 
into account when adding up the value of the non-originating ma terials 
used. ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 717  
3.2. The rule in the list represents the minimum amount of work ing or 
processing required, and the carrying-out of more working or pr ocessing 
also confers originating status; conversely, the carrying-out o f less working 
or processing cannot confer originating status. Thus, if a rule  provides that 
non-originating material, at a certain level of manufacture, ma y be used, the 
use of such material at an earlier stage of manufacture is allo wed, 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 expre ssion ‘Manu­
facture from materials of any heading’, then materials of any h eading(s) 
(even materials of the same description and heading as the prod uct) may 
be used, subject, however, to any specific limitations which ma y also be 
contained in the rule.  
However, the expression ‘Manufacture from materials of any head ing, 
including other materials of heading …’ or ‘Manufacture from ma terials 
of any heading, including other materials of the same heading a s the 
product’ means that materials of any heading(s) may be used, ex cept 
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 ma nufactured from 
more than one material, this means that one or more materials m ay be used. 
It does not require that all be used.  
Example:  
The rule for fabrics of headings 5208 to 5212 provides that nat ural fibres 
may be used and that chemical materials, among other materials,  may also 
be used. This does not mean that both have to be used; it is po ssible to use 
one or the other, or both.  
3.5. Where a rule in the list specifies that a product must be manufactured from 
a particular material, the condition does not prevent the use o f other 
materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satis fy the rule. 
(See also Note 6.2 below in relation to textiles).  
Example:  
The rule for prepared foods of heading 1904, which specifically  excludes 
the use of cereals and their derivatives, does not prevent the use of mineral 
salts, chemicals and other additives which are not products fro m cereals.  
However, this does not apply to products which, although they c annot be 
manufactured from the particular materials specified in the lis t, can be 
produced from a material of the same nature at an earlier stage  of manu­
facture.  
Example:  
In the case of an article of apparel of ex Chapter 62 made from  non-woven 
materials, if the use of only non-originating yarn is allowed f or this class of 
article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth – eve n if non-woven 
cloths cannot normally be made from yarn. In such cases, the st arting 
material would normally be at the stage before yarn – that is, the fibre stage.  
3.6. Where, in a rule in the list, two percentages are given fo r the maximum 
value of non-originating materials that can be used, then these  percentages 
may not be added together. In other words, the maximum value of  all the 
non-originating materials used may never exceed the higher of t he 
percentages given. Furthermore, the individual percentages must  not be 
exceeded, in relation to the particular materials to which they  apply.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 718  
Note 4:  
4.1. 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, b ut not 
spun.  
4.2. The term ‘natural fibres’ includes horsehair of heading 05 03, silk of 
headings 5002 and 5003, as well as wool-fibres and fine or coar se animal 
hair of headings 5101 to 5105, cotton fibres of headings 5201 t o 5203, and 
other vegetable fibres of headings 5301 to 5305.  
4.3. 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 p aper fibres or 
yarns.  
4.4. The term ‘man-made staple fibres’ is used in the list to r efer to synthetic or 
artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of headings 55 01 to 5507.  
Note 5:  
5.1. 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 basi c textile 
materials used in the manufacture of this product and which, ta ken 
together, represent 10 % or less of the total weight of all the  basic textile 
materials used. (See also Notes 5.3 and 5.4).  
5.2. However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5.1 may be applie d only to 
mixed products which have been made from two or more basic text ile 
materials.  
The following are the basic textile materials:  
— silk,  
— wool,

synthetic staple fibres of heading 5506, is a mixed yarn. There fore, non- 
originating synthetic staple fibres which do not satisfy the or igin-rules 
(which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile p ulp) 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 he ading 
5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading 5509, is a mixed fabric. 
Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin-rul es (which 
require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp), o r woollen 
yarn which does not satisfy the origin-rules (which require man ufacture 
from natural fibres, not carded or combed or otherwise prepared  for spin­
ning), 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 o f heading 
5205 and cotton fabric of heading 5210, is a only mixed product  if the 
cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric made from yarns classifi ed in two 
separate headings, or if the cotton yarns used are themselves m ixtures.  ▼B
 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 720  
Example:  
If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotto n yarn of 
heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading 5407, then, obviou sly, the 
yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tuf ted textile 
fabric is, accordingly, a mixed product.  
5.3. In the case of products incorporating ‘yarn made of polyur ethane segmented 
with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped’, th is tolerance 
is 20 % in respect of this yarn.  
5.4. In the case of products incorporating ‘strip consisting of  a core of 
aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coat ed 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’, this tolerance is 30 % in respect of this strip.  
Note 6:  
6.1. Where, in the list, reference is made to this Note, textil e materials (with the 
exception of linings and interlinings), which do not satisfy th e 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-work s price 
of the product.  
6.2. Without prejudice to Note 6.3, materials, which are not cl assified within 
Chapters 50 to 63, may be used freely in the manufacture of tex tile 
products, whether or not they contain textiles.  
Example:  
If a rule in the list provides that, for a particular textile i tem (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 Chap ters 50 to 63. 
For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-faste ners, even 
though slide-fasteners normally contain textiles.  
6.3. Where a percentage rule applies, the value of materials wh ich are not 
classified within Chapters 50 to 63 must be taken into account when calcu­
lating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated.  
Note 7:  
7.1. For the purposes of headings ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 290 1, ex 2902 and 
ex 3403, the ‘specific processes’ are the following:  
(a) vacuum-distillation;  
(b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process (  1 ); 
(c) cracking;  
(d) reforming;  
(e) extraction by means of selective solvents;  
(f) the process comprising all of the following operations: pro cessing with 
concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neut ralisation 
with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification with nat urally 
active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;  
(g) polymerisation;  
(h) alkylation;  
(i) isomerisation.  ▼B

 02015R2446 — EN — 15.03.2021 — 006.001 — 721  
7.2. For the purposes of headings 2710, 2711 and 2712, the ‘spe cific processes’ 
are the following:  
(a) vacuum-distillation;  
(b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process (  1 ); 
(c) cracking;  
(d) reforming;  
(e) extraction by means of selective solvents;  
(f) the process comprising all of the following operations: pro cessing with 
concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neut rali­
sation with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification w ith 
naturally active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;  
(g) polymerisation;  
(h) alkylation;  
(ij) isomerisation;  
(k) in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 only, desulphur isation with 
hydrogen, resulting in a reduction of at least 85 % of the sulp hur 
content of the products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method);  
(l) in respect of products of heading 2710 only, deparaffining by a process 
other than filtering;  
(m) in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 only, treatment  with 
hydrogen, at a pressure of more than 20 bar and a temperature o f 
more than 250 °C, with the use of a catalyst, other than to eff ect 
desulphurisation, when the hydrogen constitutes an active eleme nt in 
a chemical reaction. The further treatment, with hydrogen, of l ubri­
cating oils of heading ex 2710 (e.g. hydrofinishing or decolour isation), 
in order, more especially, to improve colour or stability shall  not, 
however, be deemed to be a specific process;  
(n) in respect of fuel oils of heading ex 2710 only, atmospheri c distillation, 
on condition that less than 30 % of these products distils, by volume, 
including losses, at 300 °C, by the ASTM D 86 method;  
(o) in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils of heading 
ex 2710 only, treatment by means of a high-frequency electrical  brush 
discharge;  
(p) in respect of crude products (other than petroleum jelly, o zokerite, 
lignite wax or peat wax, paraffin wax containing by weight less  than 
0,75 % of oil) of heading ex 2712 only, de-oiling by fractional  cryst­
allisation.  
7.3. For the purposes of headings ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 290 1, ex 2902 and 
ex 3403, simple operations, such as cleaning, decanting, desalt ing, water 
separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur content as a 
result of mixing products with different sulphur contents, or a ny 
combination of these operations or like operations, do not conf er origin.  ▼B

calculated by multiplying the quantity of white sugar with the coefficient 
1,0869565.  
The equivalent quantity of raw cane sugar not of standard quali ty shall be 
calculated by multiplying the quantity of white sugar with a co efficient 
obtained by dividing 100 by the yield of raw cane sugar. The yi eld of raw 
cane sugar shall be calculated as set out in point III of Part B of Annex IIĪ to 
Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
