DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
No 71/96
of 22 November 1996
amending Protocol 4 to the EEA Agreement on rules of origin
THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, as adjusted by the Protocol adjusting that Agreement, hereinafter referred to as the Agreement, and in particular Article 98 thereof,
Whereas an extended system of cumulation is desirable, making possible the use of materials originating in the European Community, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, the European Economic Area, hereinafter referred to as the EEA, Iceland, Norway or Switzerland, in order to facilitate trade and improve the effectiveness of the Agreement; whereas modifications to the definition of the concept of originating products are required;
Whereas, in order for the Agreement to apply to goods originating in Andorra or San Marino, it is necessary to provide for such a possibility by way of a Joint Declaration on Protocol 4;
Whereas certain processing requirements for non-originating materials to obtain originating status need to be amended to take account of the evolution of processing techniques; whereas, in the light of experience, the presentation of the list of processing rules could be improved by extending it to cover all headings of the Harmonized System (HS); whereas technical modifications of these processing rules are required to take account of modifications to the HS which take effect from 1 January 1996;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate for the proper functioning of the Agreement to incorporate in a single text all the provisions in question with a view to facilitating the work of users and customs administrations,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
Protocol 4 to the Agreement shall be replaced by the text attached hereto, together with the relevant Joint Declarations.
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on 1 December 1996, provided that all the notifications under Article 103 (1) of the Agreement have been made to the EEA Joint Committee. It shall apply from 1 January 1997.
Article 3
This Decision shall be published in the EEA section of, and the EEA Supplement to, the Official Journal of the European Communities.


Done at Brussels, 22 November 1996.

TITLE II

DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF ‘ORIGINATING PRODUCTS’

Article 2
General requirements
1.   A product shall be considered to be originating in the EEA within the meaning of this Agreement if it has been either wholly obtained there within the meaning of Article 4 or sufficiently worked or processed in the EEA within the meaning of Article 5. For this purpose, the territories of the Contracting Parties to which this Agreement applies, shall be considered as a single territory.
2.   Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the territory of the Principality of Liechtenstein shall, until 1 January 2000, be excluded from that of the EEA, for the purpose of determining the origin of the products referred to in Tables I and II of Protocol 3 and such products shall be considered to be originating in the EEA only if they have been either wholly obtained or sufficiently worked or processed in the territories of the other Contracting Parties.
Article 3
Diagonal cumulation of origin
1.   Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3, materials originating in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia or Switzerland, within the meaning of the Agreements between the Contracting Parties and these countries, shall be considered as originating in the EEA when incorporated into a product obtained there. It shall not be necessary that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing.
2.   Products which have acquired originating status by virtue of paragraph 1 shall only continue to be considered as products originating in the EEA when the value added there exceeds the value of the materials used originating in any one of the other countries referred to in paragraph 1. If this is not so, the products concerned shall be considered as originating in the country referred to in paragraph 1 which accounts for the highest value of originating materials used. In the allocation of origin, no account shall be taken of materials originating in the other countries referred to in paragraph 1 which have undergone sufficient working or processing in the EEA.
3.   The cumulation provided for in this Article may only be applied where the processing requirements for non-originating materials to obtain originating status contained in the Agreements concerned are identical to the requirements contained in Annex II to this Protocol. The Contracting Parties shall provide each other, through the European Commission, with details of agreements and their corresponding rules of origin which have been concluded with the other countries referred to in paragraph 1.
4.   The European Commission shall publish in the Official Journal of the European Communities (C series) the date on which the countries referred to in paragraph 1 have met the obligations laid down in paragraph 3.
Article 4
Wholly obtained products
1.   The following shall be considered as wholly obtained in the EEA:






(a)


mineral products extracted from their soil or from their seabed;










(b)


vegetable products harvested there;










(c)


live animals born and raised there;










(d)


products from live animals raised there;










(e)


products obtained by hunting or fishing conducted there;










(f)


products of sea fishing and other products taken from the sea outside the territorial waters of the Contracting Parties by their vessels;










(g)


products made aboard their factory ships exclusively from products referred to in subparagraph (f);










(h)


used articles collected there fit only for the recovery of raw materials, including used tyres fit only for retreading or for use as waste;










(i)


waste and scrap resulting from manufacturing operations conducted there;










(j)


products extracted from marine soil or subsoil outside their territorial waters provided that they have sole rights to work that soil or subsoil;










(k)


goods produced there exclusively from the products specified in subparagraphs (a) to (j).




2.   The terms ‘their vessels’ and ‘their factory ships’ in paragraph 1 (f) and (g) shall apply only to vessels and factory ships:






(a)


which are registered or recorded in an EC Member State or an EFTA State;










(b)


which sail under the flag of an EC Member State or an EFTA State;










(c)


which are owned to an extent of at least 50% by nationals of EC Member States or of an EFTA State, or by a company with its head office in one of these States, of which the manager or managers, Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Board, and the majority of the members of such boards are nationals of EC Member States or of an EFTA State and of which, in addition, in the case of partnerships or limited companies, at least half the capital belongs to those States or to public bodies or nationals of the said States;










(d)


of which the master and officers are nationals of EC Member States or of an EFTA State; and










(e)


of which at least 75% of the crew are nationals of EC Member States or of an EFTA State.




Article 5
Sufficiently worked or processed products
1.   For the purposes of Article 2, products which are not wholly obtained are considered to be sufficiently worked or processed when the conditions set out in the list in Annex II are fulfilled.
The conditions referred to above indicate, for all products covered by this Agreement, the working or processing which must be carried out on non-originating materials used in manufacturing and apply only in relation to such materials. Accordingly, it follows that if a product which has acquired originating status by fulfilling the conditions set out in the list is used in the manufacture of another product, the conditions applicable to the product in which it is incorporated do not apply to it, and no account shall be taken of the non-originating materials which may have been used in its manufacture.
2.   Notwithstanding paragraph 1, non-originating materials which, according to the conditions set out in the list, should not be used in the manufacture of a product may nevertheless be used, provided that:






(a)


their total value does not exceed 10% of the ex-works price of the product;










(b)


any of the percentages given in the list for the maximum value of non-originating materials are not exceeded through the application of this paragraph.




This paragraph shall not apply to products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System.
3.   Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply except as provided in Article 6.
Article 6
Insufficient working or processing operations
1.   Without prejudice to paragraph 2, 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 5 are satisfied:






(a)


operations to ensure the preservation of products in good condition during transport and storage (ventilation, spreading out, drying, chilling, placing in salt, sulphur dioxide or other aqueous solutions, removal of damaged parts, and like operations);










(b)


simple operations consisting of removal of dust, sifting or screening, sorting, classifying, matching (including the making-up of sets of articles), washing, painting, cutting up;










(c)








(i)


changes of packaging and breaking up and assembly of packages;










(ii)


simple placing in bottles, flasks, bags, cases, boxes, fixing on cards or boards, etc., and all other simple packaging operations;














(d)


affixing marks, labels and other like distinguishing signs on products or their packaging;










(e)


simple mixing of products, whether or not of different kinds, where one or more components of the mixtures do not meet the conditions laid down in this Protocol to enable them to be considered as originating in the EEA;










(f)


simple assembly of parts to constitute a complete product;










(g)


a combination of two or more operations specified in subparagraphs (a) to (f);










(h)


slaughter of animals.




2.   All the operations carried out in the EEA on a given product shall be considered together when determining whether the working or processing undergone by that product is to be regarded as insufficient within the meaning of paragraph 1.
Article 7
Unit of qualification
1.   The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this Protocol shall be the particular product which is considered as the basic unit when determining classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonized System.
Accordingly, it follows that:






(a)


when a product composed of a group or assembly of articles is classified under the terms of the Harmonized System in a single heading, the whole constitutes the unit of qualification;










(b)


when a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified under the same heading of the Harmonized System, each product must be taken individually when applying the provisions of this Protocol.




2.   Where, under General 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 8
Accessories, spare parts and tools
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 price thereof or which are not separately invoiced, shall be regarded as one with the piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question.
Article 9
Sets
Sets, as defined in General Rule 3 of the Harmonized System, shall be regarded as originating when all component products are originating. Nevertheless, when a set is composed of originating and non-originating products, the set as a whole shall 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 10
Neutral elements
In order to determine whether a product originates, it shall not be necessary to determine the origin of the following which might be used in its manufacture:






(a)


energy and fuel;










(b)


plant and equipment;










(c)


machines and tools;










(d)


goods which do not enter and which are not intended to enter into the final composition of the product.




TITLE III

TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS

Article 11
Principle of territoriality
1.   The conditions set out in Title II relative to the acquisition of originating status must be fulfilled without interruption in the EEA, except as provided for in Article 3 and paragraph 3 below.
2.   If originating goods exported from the EEA to another country are returned, except in so far as provided for in Article 3, they must be considered as non-originating, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:






(a)


the goods returned are the same goods as those exported; and










(b)


they have not undergone any operation beyond that necessary to preserve them in good condition while in that country or while being exported.




3.   The acquisition of originating status under the conditions set out in Title II shall not be affected by working or processing carried out outside the EEA on materials exported from the EEA and subsequently reimported there, provided that:






(a)


the said materials are wholly obtained in the EEA or have undergone there working or processing going beyond the insufficient operations listed in Article 6 prior to their exportation outside the EEA; and










(b)


it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:






(i)


the reimported goods result from the working or processing of the exported materials; and










(ii)


the total added value acquired outside the EEA through the application of this Article does not exceed 10% of the ex-works price of the final product for which originating status is claimed.








4.   For the purposes of paragraph 3, the conditions set out in Title II relative to the acquisition of originating status shall not apply in respect of working or processing carried out outside the EEA. Nevertheless, where, in the list in Annex II, a rule giving the maximum value of all the non-originating materials used is applied in determining the originating status of the final product concerned, the total value of the non-originating materials used in the EEA and the total added value acquired outside the EEA through the application of this Article taken together shall not exceed the percentage given.
5.   For the purposes of paragraphs 3 and 4, ‘total added value’ shall mean all costs accumulated outside the EEA, including the value of the materials added there.
6.   Paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products which do not fulfil the conditions set out in the list in Annex II and which can only be considered as sufficiently worked or processed as a result of the application of the general tolerance in Article 5 (2).
7.   Paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System.
Article 12
Direct transport
1.   The preferential treatment provided for under the Agreement applies only to products satisfying the requirements of this Protocol which are transported directly within the EEA or through the territories of the countries referred to in Article 3. However, products constituting one single consignment may be transported through other territories with, should the occasion arise, trans-shipment or temporary warehousing in such territories, provided that they remain under the surveillance of the customs authorities in the country of transit or warehousing and do not undergo operations other than unloading, reloading or any operation designed to preserve them in good condition.
Originating products may be transported by pipeline across territory other than that of the EEA.
2.   Evidence that the conditions set out in paragraph 1 have been fulfilled shall be supplied to the customs authorities of the importing country by the production of:






(a)


a single transport document covering the passage from the exporting country through the country of transit; or










(b)


a certificate issued by the customs authorities of the country of transit:






(i)


giving an exact description of the products;










(ii)


stating the dates of unloading and reloading of the products and, where applicable, the names of the ships, or the other means of transport used; and










(iii)


certifying the conditions under which the products remained in the transit country; or














(c)


failing these, any substantiating documents.




Article 13
Exhibitions
1.   Originating products, sent for exhibition in a country other than those referred to in Article 3 and sold after the exhibition for importation in the EEA shall benefit on importation from the provisions of the Agreement provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:






(a)


an exporter has consigned these products from one of the Contracting Parties to the country in which the exhibition is held and has exhibited them there;










(b)


the products have been sold or otherwise disposed of by that exporter to a person in another Contracting Party;










(c)


the products have been consigned during the exhibition or immediately thereafter in the state in which they were sent for exhibition; and










(d)


the products have not, since they were consigned for exhibition, been used for any purpose other than demonstration at the exhibition.




2.   A proof of origin must be issued or made out in accordance with the provisions of Title V and submitted to the customs authorities of the importing country in the normal manner. The name and address of the exhibition must be indicated thereon. Where necessary, additional documentary evidence of the conditions under which they have been exhibited may be required.
3.   Paragraph 1 shall apply to any trade, industrial, agricultural or crafts exhibition, fair or similar public show or display which is not organized for private purposes in shops or business premises with a view to the sale of foreign products, and during which the products remain under customs control.
TITLE IV

DRAWBACK OR EXEMPTION

Article 14
Prohibition of drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties
1.   Non-originating materials used in the manufacture of products originating in the EEA for which a proof of origin is issued or made out in accordance with the provisions of Title V shall not be subject in any of the Contracting Parties to drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties of whatever kind.
2.   The prohibition in paragraph 1 shall apply to any arrangement for refund, remission or non-payment, partial or complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect, applicable in any of the Contracting Parties to materials used in the manufacture, where such refund, remission or non-payment applies, expressly or in effect, when products obtained from the said materials are exported and not when they are retained for home use there.
3.   The exporter of products covered by a proof of origin shall be prepared to submit at any time, upon request from the customs authorities, all appropriate documents proving that no drawback has been obtained in respect of the non-originating materials used in the manufacture of the products concerned and that all customs duties or charges having equivalent effect applicable to such materials have actually been paid.
4.   The provisions of paragraphs 1 to 3 shall also apply in respect of packaging within the meaning of Article 7 (2), accessories, spare parts and tools within the meaning of Article 8 and products in a set within the meaning of Article 9 when such items are non-originating.
5.   The provisions of paragraphs 1 to 4 shall apply only in respect of materials which are of the kind to which the Agreement applies. Furthermore, they shall not preclude the application of a system of export refunds for agricultural products, applicable upon export in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.
TITLE V

The replacement movement certificate(s) EUR.1 shall be issued by the customs office under whose control the products are placed.
Article 20
Conditions for making out an invoice declaration
1.   An invoice declaration as referred to in Article 15 (1) (b) may be made out:






(a)


by an approved exporter within the meaning of Article 21, or










(b)


by any exporter for any consignment consisting of one or more packages containing originating products whose total value does not exceed ECU 6 000.




2.   An invoice declaration may be made out if the products concerned can be considered as products originating in the EEA or in one of the countries referred to in Article 3 and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol.
3.   The exporter making out an invoice declaration shall be prepared to submit at any time, at the request of the customs authorities of the exporting country, all appropriate documents proving the originating status of the products concerned as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol.
4.   An invoice declaration shall be made out by the exporter by typing, stamping or printing on the invoice, the delivery note or another commercial document, the declaration, the text of which appears in Annex IV, using one of the linguistic versions set out in that Annex and in accordance with the provisions of the domestic law of the exporting country. If the declaration is handwritten, it shall be written in ink in printed characters.
5.   Invoice declarations shall bear the original signature of the exporter in manuscript. However, an approved exporter within the meaning of Article 21 shall not be required to sign such declarations provided that he gives the customs authorities of the exporting country a written undertaking that he accepts full responsibility for any invoice declaration which identifies him as if it had been signed in manuscript by him.
6.   An invoice declaration may be made out by the exporter when the products to which it relates are exported, or after exportation on condition that it is presented in the importing country no longer than two years after the importation of the products to which it relates.
Article 21
Approved exporter
1.   The customs authorities of the exporting country may authorize any exporter who makes frequent shipments of products under this Agreement to make out invoice declarations irrespective of the value of the products concerned. An exporter seeking such authorization must offer to the satisfaction of the customs authorities all guarantees necessary to verify the originating status of the products as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol.
2.   The customs authorities may grant the status of approved exporter subject to any conditions which they consider appropriate.

4.   The customs authorities shall monitor the use of the authorization by the approved exporter.
5.   The customs authorities may withdraw the authorization at any time. They shall do so where the approved exporter no longer offers the guarantees referred to in paragraph 1, does not fulfil the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 or otherwise makes an incorrect use of the authorization.
Article 22
Validity of proof of origin
1.   A proof of origin shall be valid for four months from the date of issue in the exporting country, and must be submitted within the said period to the customs authorities of the importing country.
2.   Proofs of origin which are submitted to the customs authorities of the importing country after the final date for presentation specified in paragraph 1 may be accepted for the purpose of applying preferential treatment, where the failure to submit these documents by the final date set is due to exceptional circumstances.
3.   In other cases of belated presentation, the customs authorities of the importing country may accept the proofs of origin where the products have been submitted before the said final date.
Article 23
Submission of proof of origin
Proofs of origin shall be submitted to the customs authorities of the importing country in accordance with the procedures applicable in that country. The said authorities may require a translation of a proof of origin and may also require the import declaration to be accompanied by a statement from the importer to the effect that the products meet the conditions required for the implementation of the Agreement.
Article 24
Importation by instalments
Where, at the request of the importer and on the conditions laid down by the customs authorities of the importing country, dismantled or non-assembled products within the meaning of General Rule 2 (a) of the Harmonized System falling within Sections XVI and XVII or heading Nos 7308 and 9406 of the Harmonized System are imported by instalments, a single proof of origin for such products shall be submitted to the customs authorities upon importation of the first instalment.
Article 25
Exemptions from proof of origin
1.   Products sent as small packages from private persons to private persons or forming part of travellers' personal luggage shall be admitted as originating products without requiring the submission of a proof of origin, provided that such products are not imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the requirements of this Protocol and where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such a declaration. In the case of products sent by post, this declaration can be made on the customs declaration C2/CP3 or on a sheet of paper annexed to that document.
2.   Imports which are occasional and consist solely of products for the personal use of the recipients or travellers or their families shall not be considered as imports by way of trade if it is evident from the nature and quantity of the products that no commercial purpose is in view.
3.   Furthermore, the total value of these products shall not exceed ECU 500 in the case of small packages or ECU 1 200 in the case of products forming part of travellers' personal luggage.
Article 26
Supplier's declaration
1.   When a movement certificate EUR.1 is issued, or an invoice declaration is made out, in one of the Contracting Parties for originating products, in the manufacture of which goods coming from other Contracting Parties which have undergone working or processing in the EEA without having obtained preferential originating status have been used, account shall be taken of suppliers' declarations given for these goods in accordance with this Article.
2.   The supplier's declaration referred to in paragraph 1 shall serve as the evidence of the working or processing undergone in the EEA by the goods concerned for the purpose of determining whether the products in the manufacture of which these goods are used, can be considered as products originating in the EEA and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol.
3.   A separate supplier's declaration shall, except in cases provided for in paragraph 4, be made out by the supplier for each consignment of goods in the form prescribed in Annex V on a sheet of paper annexed to the invoice, the delivery note or any other commercial document describing the goods concerned in sufficient detail to enable them to be identified.
4.   Where a supplier regularly supplies a particular customer with goods for which the working or processing undergone in the EEA is expected to remain constant for considerable periods of time, he may provide a single supplier's declaration to cover subsequent consignments of those goods, hereinafter referred to as a ‘long-term supplier's declaration’.
A long-term supplier's declaration may normally be valid for a period of up to one year from the date of making out the declaration. The customs authorities of the country where the declaration is made out lay down the conditions under which longer periods may be used.
The long-term supplier's declaration shall be made out by the supplier in the form prescribed in Annex VI, and shall describe the goods concerned in sufficient detail to enable them to be identified. It shall be provided to the customer concerned before supplying him with the first consignment of goods covered by this declaration or together with his first consignment.
The supplier shall inform his customer immediately if the long-term supplier's declaration is no longer applicable to the goods supplied.
5.   The supplier's declaration referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be typed or printed using one of the languages in which the Agreement is drawn up, in accordance with the provisions of the domestic law of the country where it is made out, and shall bear the original signature of the supplier in manuscript. The declaration may also be handwritten; in such a case, it shall be written in ink in printed characters.
6.   The supplier making out a declaration must be prepared to submit at any time, at the request of the customs authorities of the country where the declaration is made out, all appropriate documents proving that the information given on this declaration is correct.
Article 27
Supporting documents
The documents referred to in Articles 16 (3), 20 (3) and 26 (6) used for the purpose of proving that products covered by a movement certificate EUR.1 or an invoice declaration can be considered as products originating in the EEA and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol and that the information given in a supplier's declaration is correct may consist inter alia of the following:






(a)


direct evidence of the processes carried out by the exporter or supplier to obtain the goods concerned, contained for example in his accounts or internal bookkeeping;










(b)


documents proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in the Contracting Party where these documents are used in accordance with domestic law;










(c)


documents proving the working or processing of materials in the EEA, issued or made out in the Contracting Party where these documents are used in accordance with domestic law;










(d)


movement certificates EUR.1 or invoice declarations proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in other Contracting Parties in accordance with this Protocol or in one of the countries referred to in Article 3 in accordance with that Article;










(e)


suppliers' declarations proving the working or processing undergone in the EEA by materials used, made out in other Contracting Parties in accordance with this Protocol;










(f)


appropriate evidence concerning working or processing undergone outside the EEA by application of Article 11, proving that the requirements of that Article have been satisfied.




Article 28

The supplier making out a long-term supplier's declaration shall keep for at least three years copies of the declaration and of all the invoices, delivery notes or other commercial documents concerning goods covered by that declaration sent to the customer concerned, as well as the documents referred to in Article 26 (6). This period shall begin from the date of expiry of validity of the long-term supplier's declaration.
4.   The customs authorities of the exporting country issuing a movement certificate EUR.1 shall keep for at least three years the application form referred to in Article 16 (2).
5.   The customs authorities of the importing country shall keep for at least three years the movement certificates EUR.1 and the invoice declarations submitted to them.
Article 29
Discrepancies and formal errors
1.   The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the proof of origin and those made in the documents submitted to the customs office for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the products shall not ipso facto render the proof of origin null and void if it is duly established that this document does correspond to the products submitted.
2.   Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a proof of origin should 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 this document.
Article 30
Amounts expressed in ECU
1.   Amounts in the national currency of the exporting country equivalent to the amounts expressed in ECU shall be fixed by the exporting country and communicated to the other Contracting Parties.
2.   When the amounts exceed the corresponding amounts fixed by the importing country, the latter shall accept them if the products are invoiced in the currency of the exporting country. When the products are invoiced in the currency of another Contracting Party or a country referred to in Article 3, the importing country shall recognize the amount notified by the country concerned.
3.   The amounts to be used in any given national currency shall be the equivalent in that national currency of the amounts expressed in ECU as at the first working day in October 1996.
4.   The amounts expressed in ECU and their equivalents in the national currencies of the EC Member States and EFTA States shall be reviewed by the EEA Joint Committee at the request of a Contracting Party. When carrying out this review, the EEA Joint Committee shall ensure that there will be no decrease in the amounts to be used in any national currency and shall furthermore consider the desirability of preserving the effects of the limits concerned in real terms. For this purpose, it may decide to modify the amounts expressed in ECU.

ANNEX I
INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THE LIST IN ANNEX II

Note 1:

The list sets out the conditions required for all products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 5 of the Protocol.

Note 2:









2.1.


The first two columns in the list describe the product obtained. The first column gives the heading number or chapter number used in the Harmonized System and the second column gives the description of goods used in that system for that heading or chapter. For each entry in the first two columns a rule is specified in columns 3 or 4. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an ‘ex’, this signifies that the rules in columns 3 or 4 apply only to the part of that heading as described in column 2.












2.2.


Where several heading numbers 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 rules in columns 3 or 4 apply to all products which, under the Harmonized System, are classified in headings of the chapter or in any of the 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 rules in columns 3 or 4.












2.4.


Where, for an entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in both columns 3 and 4, the exporter may opt, as an alternative, to apply either the rule set out in column 3 or that set out in column 4. If no origin rule is given in column 4, the rule set out in column 3 has to be applied.





Note 3:









3.1.


The provisions of Article 5 of the Protocol concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products apply regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these products are used or in another factory in the same country or another EEA country.

Example:

An engine of heading No 8407, for which the rule states that the value of the non-originating materials which may be incorporated may not exceed 40 per cent of the ex-works price, is made from ‘other alloy steel roughly shaped by forging’ of heading No ex 7224.
If this forging has been forged in the EEA from a non-originating ingot, it has already acquired originating status by virtue of the rule for heading No 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 country or in another EEA country. The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of the non-originating materials used.












3.2.


The rule in the list represents 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 states that ‘materials of any heading’ may be used, materials of the same heading as the product may also 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 No...’ means that only materials classified in the same heading as the product of a different description than that of the product as given in column 2 of the list may be used.












3.4.


When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that any one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used.

Example:

The rule for fabrics of heading Nos 5208 to 5212 provides that natural 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 possible 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 obviously does not prevent the use of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy the rule. (See also Note 6.2 below in relation to textiles).

Example:

The rule for prepared foods of heading No 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 from cereals.
However, this does not apply to products which, although they cannot be manufactured from the particular materials specified in the list, can be produced from a material of the same nature at an earlier stage of manufacture.

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 for this class of article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth — even if non-woven cloths cannot normally be made from yarn. In such cases, the starting 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 for 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 highest of the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual percentages must not be exceeded in relation to the particular materials they apply to.





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 that have been carded, combed or otherwise processed but not spun.












4.2.


The term ‘natural fibres’ includes horsehair of heading No 0503, silk of heading Nos 5002 and 5003 as well as the wool fibres, fine or coarse animal hair of heading Nos 5101 to 5105, the cotton fibres of heading Nos 5201 to 5203 and the other vegetable fibres of heading Nos 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 paper fibres or yarns.












4.4.


The term ‘man-made staple fibres’ is used in the list to refer to synthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of heading Nos 5501 to 5507.





Note 5:









5.1.


Where for a given product in the list a 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, which, taken together, represent 10 per cent or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 5.3 and 5.4 below).












5.2.


However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5.1 may only be applied 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,










—


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 polyphenylene sulphide,










—


synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyvinyl 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 No 5605 (metallized 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 No 5605.





Example:

A yarn of heading No 5205 made from cotton fibres of heading No 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading No 5506 is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating synthetic staple fibres that do not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used up to a weight of 10 per cent of the yarn.

Example:

A woollen fabric of heading No 5112 made from woollen yarn of heading No 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading No 5509 is a mixed fabric. Therefore synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) or woollen yarn that does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, not carded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination of the two may be used provided their total weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the weight of the fabric.

Example:

Tufted textile fabric of heading No 5802 made from cotton yarn of heading No 5205 and cotton fabric of heading No 5210 is only a mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric being 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 No 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading No 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is accordingly a mixed product.

Example:

A carpet with tufts made from both artificial yarns and cotton yarns and with a jute backing is a mixed product because three basic textile materials are used. Thus, any non-originating materials that are at a later stage of manufacture than the rule allows may be used, provided their total weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the weight of the textile materials of the carpet. Thus, both the jute backing and/or the artificial yarns could be imported at that stage of manufacture, provided the weight conditions are met.












5.3.


In the case of products incorporating ‘yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether whether or not gimped’ this tolerance is 20 per cent 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 coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of an adhesive between two layers of plastic film’, this tolerance is 30 per cent in respect of this strip.





Note 6:









6.1.


In the case of those textile products which are marked in the list by a footnote referring to this note, textile materials, with the exception of linings and interlinings, 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 per cent of the ex-works price of the product.












6.2.


Without prejudice to Note 6.3, 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.












6.3.


Where a percentage rules 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.
