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 within the
Community or Ceuta and Melilla. The replacement EUR.1
movement certificate(s) shall be issued by the customs office
under whose control the products are placed.

ANNEX A

INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THE LIST IN ANNEX B

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 6 of this Regulation.

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 Harmonised 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 column 3 or
4. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an (cid:145)ex(cid:146), this signifies that the rules in
column 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 column 3 or 4 apply
to all products which, under the Harmonised 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 column 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 6 of this Regulation, concerning products having acquired originating status which are
used in the manufacture of other products, shall apply, regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside
the factory where these products are used or in another factory in the Community or in Ceuta and Melilla.

E x a m p l e :

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 % of the ex-works price, is made from (cid:145)other alloy steel roughly shaped
by forging(cid:146) of heading No ex 7224.

If this forging has been forged in the Community 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 factory or in another factory
in the Community. 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.

L 20/14

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

20.1.2001

3.3. Without prejudice to Note 3.2, where a rule states that (cid:145)materials of any heading(cid:146) 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 (cid:145)manufacture from materials of any heading,
including other
materials of heading No (cid:133)(cid:146) means that only materials classified in the same heading as the product and 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 one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used.

E x a m p l e :

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).

E x a m p l e :

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.

E x a m p l e :

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 higher of the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual
percentages must not be exceeded, in relation to the particular materials to which they apply.

Note 4:

4.1. The term (cid:145)natural fibres(cid:146) is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres. It is restricted
to the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres which
have been carded, combed or otherwise processed, but not spun.

4.2. The term (cid:145)natural fibres(cid:146) includes horsehair of heading No 0503, silk of heading Nos 5002 and 5003, as well as
wool fibres and fine or coarse animal hair of heading Nos 5101 to 5105, cotton fibres of heading Nos 5201 to
5203, and other vegetable fibres of heading Nos 5301 to 5305.

4.3. The terms (cid:145)textile pulp(cid:146),

(cid:145)chemical materials(cid:146) and (cid:145)paper-making materials(cid:146) 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 (cid:145)man-made staple fibres(cid:146) 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, reference is made to this Note, the conditions set out in column 3 shall not
be applied to any basic textile materials used in the manufacture of this product and which, taken together,
represent 10 % or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 5.3 and 5.4
below.)

5.2. However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5.1 may be applied only to mixed products which have been made

from two or more basic textile materials.

The following are the basic textile materials:

(cid:151) silk,

(cid:151) wool,

(cid:151) coarse animal hair,

(cid:151) products of heading No 5605 (metallised yarn) incorporating strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or
of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm,
sandwiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film,

(cid:151) other products of heading No 5605.

E x a m p l e :

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 which do not satisfy the origin-rules
(which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used up to a weight of 10 % of the
yarn.

E x a m p l e :

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 which 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 % of the
weight of the fabric.

E x a m p l e :

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 made from yarns classified
in two separate headings, or if the cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures.

E x a m p l e :

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.

5.3.

In the case of products incorporating (cid:145)yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether,
whether or not gimped(cid:146), this tolerance is 20 % in respect of this yarn.

5.4.

In the case of products incorporating (cid:145)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(cid:146), this tolerance is 30 % in respect of this strip.

Note 6:

6.1. Where, in the list, reference is made 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 % 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.

E x a m p l e :

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,

7.1. For the purposes of headings Nos ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, the (cid:145)specific processes(cid:146)

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: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or
sulphuric anhydride; neutralisation with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification with naturally active
earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

(g) polymerisation;

(h) alkylation;

(i)

isomerisation.

7.2. For the purposes of heading Nos 2710, 2711 and 2712, the (cid:145)specific processes(cid:146) are the following:

(a) vacuum-distillation;

(b)

redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process (1);

earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

(g) polymerisation;

(h) alkylation;

(ij)

isomerisation;

(k)

in respect of heavy oils of heading No ex 2710 only, desulphurisation with hydrogen, resulting in a reduction
of at least 85 % of the sulphur-content of the products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method);

(l)

in respect of products of heading No 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering;

(m) in respect of heavy oils of heading No ex 2710 only, treatment with hydrogen, at a pressure of more than 20
bar and a temperature of more than 250 (cid:176)C, with the use of a catalyst, other than to effect desulphurisation,
when the hydrogen constitutes an active element
in a chemical reaction. The further treatment, with
hydrogen, of lubricating oils of heading No ex 2710 (for example hydrofinishing or decolourisation), in order,
more especially, to improve colour or stability shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;

(n)

(o)

in respect of fuel oils of heading No ex 2710 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than 30 %
of these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 (cid:176)C, by the ASTM D 86 method;

in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils of heading No ex 2710 only, treatment by means of
a high-frequency electrical brush-discharge.

7.3. For the purposes of heading Nos ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, simple operations, such
as cleaning, decanting, desalting, water-separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur-content as a
these operations or like
result of mixing products with different sulphur-contents, or any combination of
operations, do not confer origin.
