COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 12/97
of 18 December 1996
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), as amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 249 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (2), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2153/96 (3), lays down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92;
Whereas the Council adopted Decision 94/800/EC of 22 December 1994 concerning the conclusion on behalf of the European Community, as regards matters within its competence, of the agreements reached in the Uruguay Round multilateral negotiations (1986 to 1994) (4); whereas, pursuant to Annex 1A to that Decision, concerning the agreement on the rules of origin, the Community undertook to establish a system of binding information regarding origin;
Whereas it is necessary, while respecting the specific nature of each system of rules of origin, to improve the consistency between those systems in order to facilitate overall legibility and in particular for the autonomous rules of origin; whereas it is necessary to take into consideration the entry into force of the combined nomenclature adopted subsequent to the amendment of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, together with the entry into force of the certificate of origin Form A as amended by Unctad;
Whereas it should be clearly determined which documents shall accompany the declaration of entry for a customs procedure with economic impact, in order to reduce the formalities connected to the application of those procedures;
Whereas it is appropriate to specify certain key data to be included on the receipt issued when duty is paid following an oral declaration, as evidence that customs formalities for the goods in question have been completed;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 482/96 (5) amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 establishing the Community Customs Code introduced more flexibility in supplying alternative proof for obtaining the discharge of Community transit operations in the case of non-return of Copy 5 of the Single Administrative Document; whereas equal flexibility should be introduced in supplying alternative proof in the case of non-return of the copy for return of the TIR carnet or ATA carnet;
Whereas provision has also been made in Regulation (EC) No 482/96 for the prescription of binding itineraries under the Community transit procedure as regards, in particular, the movement of goods for which the comprehensive guarantee is suspended; whereas identical control measures should also be laid down for the same goods under the TIR procedure;
Whereas provisions should be made for import duties to be repaid following the export of goods in the unaltered state placed under the inward processing procedure (drawback system);
Whereas pursuant to Articles 871 and 905 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 the Commission must take a decision, on the basis of information supplied by the Member States, both on situations not liable to occasion post-clearance entry in the accounts of import duties or export duties and on requests for repayment or remission of import or export duties;
Whereas the right to a hearing of persons affected by a decision on post-clearance entry in the accounts of import and export duties and of applicants for a repayment or remission of import or export duties should be guaranteed;
Whereas in order to avoid recovery proceedings in cases where repayment is likely to be granted subsequently, provision should be made for suspending the debtor's obligation to pay duties in these cases, in accordance in particular with Article 222 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92;
Whereas Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 lays down the conditions for determining the origin of goods; given that numerous components may originate in more than one country and may be pre-assembled in countries other than that where they are definitively assembled into certain unrecorded magnetic diskettes, and given that assembly from pre-assembled elements cannot be considered as conferring origin, in those conditions and in order to assure a uniform interpretation and application of the abovementioned Article 24, it is necessary to amend Annex 11 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93;
Whereas Decision 4/92 of the EEC-San Marino Cooperation Committee of 22 December 1992 (6) and Decision 1/96 of the EC-Andorra Joint Committee of 1 July 1996 (7) permit the use of the Community transit procedure between the Community and Andorra and San Marino respectively; whereas, therefore, it is necessary to supplement the list of codes used in boxes 51, 52 and 53 of the Single Administrative Document (SAD);
Whereas it is desirable on economic grounds to extend the list in Annex 87;
Whereas the measures provided for by this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as follows:

3.   “Value added” means the ex-works price minus the customs value of each of the products incorporated which originated in another country of the regional group.
4.   Proof of the originating status of goods exported from a country of a regional group to another country of the same group to be used in further working or processing, or to be re-exported where no further working or processing takes place, shall be established by a certificate of origin Form A issued in the first country.
5.   Proof of originating status, acquired or retained under the terms of Article 72, this Article and Article 72b, of goods exported from a country of a regional group to the Community, shall be established by a certificate of origin Form A issued, or an invoice declaration made out in that country on the basis of a certificate of origin Form A issued according the provisions of paragraph 4.
6.   The country of origin shall be marked in box 12 of the certificate of origin Form A or on the invoice declaration, that country being:






—


in the case of products exported without further working or processing according to paragraph 4, the country of manufacture,










—


in the case of products exported after further working or processing, the country of origin as determined in accordance with paragraph 1.




Article 72b
1.   Articles 72 and 72a shall apply only where:






(a)


the rules regulating trade in the context of regional cumulation, as between the countries of the regional group, are identical to those laid down in this section;










(b)


each country of the regional group has undertaken to comply or ensure compliance with the terms of this section and to provide the administrative cooperation necessary both to the Community and to the other countries of the regional group in order to ensure the correct issue of certificates of origin Form A and the verification of certificates of origin Form A and invoice declarations.




This undertaking shall be transmitted to the Commission through the Secretariat of the regional group.
The Secretariats are as follows:






—


the Asean General Secretariat,










—


the Permanent Secretariat of the CACM,










—


the Junta del Acuerdo de Cartagena,




as the case may be.
2.   The Commission shall inform the Member States when the conditions set out in paragraph 1 have been satisfied, in the case of each regional group.
3.   Article 78 (1) (b) shall not apply to products originating in any of the countries of the regional group when they pass through the territory of any of the other countries of the regional group, whether or not further working or processing takes place there.
Article 73
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 or not separately invoiced are regarded as one with the piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question.
Article 74
Sets, as defined in General Rule 3 of the Harmonized System, shall be regarded as originating sets when the component articles are originating products. Nevertheless, when a set is composed of originating and non-originating articles, the set as a whole shall be regarded as originating, provided that the value of the non-originating articles does not exceed 15 % of the ex-works price of the set.
Article 75
In order to determine whether a product is an originating product, 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.




Article 76
1.   Derogations from the provisions of this Section may be made in favour of the least-developed beneficiary countries benefiting from the generalized system of preferences when the development of existing industries or the creation of new industries justifies them. The least-developed beneficiary countries are listed in the Council EC Regulations and the ECSC Decision applying generalized tariff preferences for the current year. For this purpose, the country concerned shall submit to the Community a request for a derogation together with the reasons for the request in accordance with paragraph 3.

The replacement certificate(s) of origin Form A shall be issued by the customs office under whose control the products are placed.

Article 93
1.   The beneficiary countries shall inform the Commission of the names and addresses of the governmental authorities situated in their territory which are empowered to issue certificates of origin Form A, together with specimens of stamps used by those authorities, and the names and addresses of the relevant governmental authorities responsible for the control of the certificates of origin Form A and the invoice declarations.

3.   When an application for subsequent verification has been made in accordance with paragraph 1, such verification shall be carried out and its results communicated to the customs authorities in the Community within a maximum of six months.

For this purpose the Community may participate in the inquiries.
7.   For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of origin Form A, copies of the certificates as well as any export documents referring to them shall be kept for at least three years by the competent governmental authority of the exporting beneficiary country.

3.   A EUR.1 movement certificate shall be issued on application having been made in writing by the exporter or, under the exporter's responsiblity, by his authorized representative. Such application shall be made on a form, a specimen of which appears at Annex 21, which shall be completed in accordance with the provision of this subsection.

5.   The EUR.1 movement certificate shall be issued by the competent authorities, of the beneficiary Republics or Territories or by the customs authorities of the exporting Member State, if the goods to be exported can be considered originating products within the meaning of this section.

Article 111
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 112
Proofs of origin shall be submitted to the customs authorities of the Member State of importation in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 62 of the Code.

Article 113
1.   By way of derogation from Article 110 (10), a EUR.1 movement certificate may exceptionally be issued after exportation of the products to which it relates if:






(a)


it was not issued at the time of exportation because of errors or accidental omissions or special circumstances; or










(b)


it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that a EUR.1 movement certificate was issued but was not accepted on importation for technical reasons.




2.   The competent authorities may issue a EUR.1 movement certificate retrospectively only after verifying that the particulars contained in the exporter's application conform with those contained in the corresponding export documents and that a EUR.1 movement certificate satisfying the provisions of this section was not issued when the products in question were exported.
3.   EUR.1 movement certificates issued retrospectively shall be endorsed with one of the following phrases:

Article 115
When originating products are placed under the control of a customs office in the Community, it shall be possible to replace the original proof of origin by one or more EUR.1 movement certificates for the purpose of sending all or some of these products elsewhere in the Community.

2.   A EUR.1 movement certificate which is submitted to the customs authorities of the Member State 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 the certificate by the final date set is due to exceptional circumstances.
3.   In other cases of belated presentation as set out in paragraph 2, the customs authorities of the importing Member State may accept the certificates where the products have been submitted to them before the said final date.
(b)   Invoice declaration

Article 117

(a)


by an approved exporter within the meaning of Article 118 or,

2.   An invoice declaration may be made out if the products concerned can be considered as originating in the Community or in a beneficiary Republic or Territory within the meaning of this section.
3.   The exporter making an invoice declaration must be prepared to submit at any time, at the request of the customs authorithies of the Community or of the beneficiary Republics or Territories, as the case may be, all appropriate documents substantiating the originating status of the products concerned as well as fulfilling the administrative cooperation referred to in this section.

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 118 shall not be required to sign such declarations provided that he gives the governmental authorities 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.   In the cases referred to in paragraph 1 (b), the use of an invoice declaration shall be subject to the following special conditions:






(a)


one invoice declaration shall be completed for each consignment;










(b)


if the goods contained in the consignment have already been subject to verification in the beneficiary Republic or Territory by reference to the definition of “originating products”, the exporter may refer to this check in the invoice declaration.




The provisions of the first subparagraph do not exempt exporters from complying with any other formalities required under customs or postal regulations.
Article 118
1.   The customs authorities in the Community may authorize any exporter, hereinafter referred to as “approved exporter”, who makes frequent shipments of products within the meaning of Article 98 (2), to make out invoice declarations irrespective of the value of the products concerned.

Article 119
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 benefiting from the tariff preferences referred to in Article 98 without requiring the submission of a EUR.1 movement certificate or an invoice declaration, provided that such products are of a non-commercial nature and have been declared as meeting the conditions required for the application of this section, where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such declaration.
2.   Imports which are occasional and consist exclusively of products for the personal use of the recipients or travellers or their families shall be considered as being of a non-commercial nature if it is evident from the nature and quantity of the products that they are not being imported for commercial reasons.
Furthermore, the total value of the products must not exceed ECU 215 in the case of small packages or ECU 600 in the case of the contents of traveller's personal luggage.
Article 120
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 goods, shall not ipso facto render the proof of origin null and void, provided that it is duly established that the document corresponds to the goods submitted.
Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a proof of origin should not cause the document to be rejected if those errors are not such as to create doubts concerning the correctness of the statements made in the document.
Subsection 3

Article 121
1.   The beneficiary Republics or Territories shall inform the Commission of the names and addresses of the governmental authorities situated in their territory which are empowered to issue EUR.1 movement certificates, together with specimens of stamps used by those authorities, and the names and addresses of the relevant governmental authorities responsible for the control of the EUR.1 movement certificates and the invoice declarations. The stamps shall be valid as from the date of receipt by the Commission of the specimens. The Commission shall forward this information to the customs authorities of the Member States. When these communications are made within the framework of an amendment of previous communications, the Commission will indicate the date of entry into use of those new stamps according to the instructions given by the competent authorities of the beneficiary Republics or Territories. This information is for official use; however, when goods have to be presented for free circulation, the customs authorities in question may allow the importer or his duly authorized representative to consult the specimen impressions of stamps mentioned in this paragraph.

2.   For the purposes of implementing the provisions of paragraph 1, the competent authorities of the importing Member State or of the beneficiary Republic or Territory shall return the EUR.1 movement certificate, the invoice declaration or a copy of these documents to the competent authorities of the beneficiary Republics or Territories, or to the customs authorities of the exporting Member State, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of substance or form for an inquiry.
They shall attach any relevant commercial documents or a copy thereof to the EUR.1 certificate or the invoice declaration and any documents and information obtained suggesting that the information given on the proof of origin is incorrect shall be forwarded in support of the request for verification.
If the customs authorities in the importing Member State decide to suspend the granting of preferential treatment to the products concerned while awaiting the results of the verification, release of the products shall be offered to the importer subject to any precautionary measures judged necessary.
3.   The customs authorities of the importing Member State, or the competent authorities of the beneficiary Republic or Territories, requesting the verification shall be informed of the results of this verification within six months. These results must indicate clearly whether the EUR.1 movement certificate or the invoice declaration applies to the products actually exported, and whether these products can benefit from the preferences referred to in Article 98.
4.   For the purposes of subsequent verification of EUR.1 movement certificates and invoice declarations, as well as any export documents or any copies of certificates referring to them, shall be kept for at least three years by the competent authorities of the beneficiary Republics or Territories, or by the exporting customs authorities of the Member State.
5.   If, in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within 10 months of the request, or if the reply does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document in question, or the real origin of the products, the requesting authorities shall, except in exceptional circumstances, refuse entitlement to the preferential treatment.
