DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE

No 136/2005

of 21 October 2005

amending Protocol 4 to the Agreement on rules of origin

THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (1), as amended by the Protocol adjusting
the Agreement on the European Economic Area, hereinafter referred to as the Agreement, and in particular
Article 98 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

(6)

Protocol 4 to the Agreement provides for the cumulation of origin between the Community and
Iceland, Bulgaria, Norway, Romania, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein) and Turkey.

The extension of the system of cumulation is desirable making it possible to use materials originating
in the Community, Bulgaria, Romania, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein), the
Faeroe Islands, Turkey, or in any other country which is a participant in the Euro-Mediterranean
partnership, based on the Barcelona Declaration adopted at the Euro-Mediterranean Conference held
on 27 and 28 November 1995 (2), in order to develop trade and promote regional integration.

For the purposes of implementing the extended system of cumulation only between the countries
which have fulfilled the necessary conditions and in order to avoid circumvention of customs duties,
it is necessary to introduce new provisions concerning certification of origin.

Goods in transit or storage on the day on which this Decision becomes applicable should be covered
by transitional provisions allowing them to benefit from the extended system of cumulation.

The reasons which motivated the exclusion of agricultural products originating in Turkey from the
system of cumulation are no longer valid.

The Joint Declaration concerning the review of the changes to the origin rules as a result of the
amendments to the Harmonised System may be applied until 31 December 2004 and therefore does
not need to be maintained in the Protocol after this date.

(1) OJ L 1, 3.1.1994, p. 3.

Some technical amendments are required in order to correct anomalies in and between the different
language versions of the text.

It is therefore appropriate, for the proper functioning of the Agreement and with a view to facilitate
the work of users and customs administrations, to incorporate in a new text of Protocol 4 all the
provisions in question,

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 22 October 2005, provided that all the notifications under Article
103(1) of the Agreement have been made to the Joint Committee (*).

It shall apply from the first day of the month following the day of its adoption.

This Decision shall be published in the EEA section of, and in the EEA Supplement to, the Official Journal of
the European Union.

General requirements

For the purpose of implementing the Agreement, the following products shall be considered as originating in the

EEA:

(a) products wholly obtained in the EEA within the meaning of Article 4;

(b) products obtained in the EEA incorporating materials which have not been wholly obtained there, provided that such

materials have undergone sufficient working or processing in the EEA within the meaning of Article 5.

L 321/6

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

8.12.2005

For this purpose, the territories of the Contracting Parties to which the Agreement applies, shall be considered as a single
territory.

2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the territory of the Principality of Liechtenstein shall 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. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, products shall be considered as originating in the EEA if they are
obtained there, incorporating materials originating in Bulgaria, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein) (1), Iceland, Norway,
Romania, Turkey or in the Community, provided that the working or processing carried out in the EEA goes beyond the
operations referred to in Article 6. It shall not be necessary for such materials to have undergone sufficient working or
processing.

2. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, products shall be considered as originating in the EEA if they are
obtained there, incorporating materials originating in the Faeroe Islands or in any country which is a participant in the
Euro-Mediterranean partnership, based on the Barcelona Declaration adopted at the Euro-Mediterranean Conference held
on 27 and 28 November 1995, other than Turkey (2), provided that the working or processing carried out in the EEA
goes beyond the operations referred to in Article 6. It shall not be necessary for such materials to have undergone
sufficient working or processing.

3. Where the working or processing carried out in the EEA does not go beyond the operations referred to in Article 6,
the product obtained shall be considered as originating in the EEA only where the value added there is greater than the
value of the materials used originating in any one of the countries referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2. If this is not so, the
product obtained shall be considered as originating in the country which accounts for the highest value of originating
materials used in the manufacture in the EEA.

Products, originating in one of the countries referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, which do not undergo any working

4.
or processing in the EEA shall retain their origin if exported into one of these countries.

5.

The cumulation provided for in this Article may be applied only provided that:

(a) a preferential trade agreement in accordance with Article XXIV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
(GATT) is applicable between the countries involved in the acquisition of the originating status and the country of
destination;

(b) materials and products have acquired originating status by the application of rules of origin identical to those given

in this Protocol;

and

(c) notices indicating the fulfilment of the necessary requirements to apply cumulation have been published in the
Official Journal of the European Union (C series) and in the other Contracting Parties according to their own procedures.

The cumulation provided for in this Article shall apply from the date indicated in the notice published in the Official
Journal of the European Union (C series).

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 (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 (a) to (j).

The terms “their vessels” and “their factory ships” in paragraph 1(f) and (g) shall apply only to vessels and factory

2.
ships:

(a) which are registered or recorded in a Member State of the Community or in an EFTA State;

(b) which sail under the flag of a Member State of the Community or of an EFTA State;

(c) which are owned to an extent of at least 50 % by nationals of a Member State of the Community 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
a Member State of the Community 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 a Member State of the Community or of an EFTA State;

and

(e) of which at least 75 % of the crew are nationals of a Member State of the Community or of an EFTA State.

Article 5

Sufficiently worked or processed products

For the purposes of Article 2, products which are not wholly obtained shall considered to be sufficiently worked or

1.
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 the 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. 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 in
Annex II, shall 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 by

virtue of this paragraph.

This paragraph shall not apply to products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System.

3.

Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply subject to the provisions of Article 6.

Article 7

Unit of qualification

The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this Protocol shall be the particular product which is

1.
considered as the basic unit when determining classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonised System.

It follows that:

(a) when a product composed of a group or assembly of articles is classified under the terms of the Harmonised 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 Harmonised

System, each product must be taken individually when applying the provisions of this Protocol.

2. Where, under General Rule 5 of the Harmonised 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 Harmonised 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 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 neither enter into the final composition of the product nor are intended to do so.

TITLE III

TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS

Article 11

Principle of territoriality

Except as provided for in Article 3 and paragraph 3 of this Article, the conditions for acquiring originating status set

1.
out in Title II must be fulfilled without interruption in the EEA.

L 321/10

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

8.12.2005

Except as provided for in Article 3, where originating goods exported from the EEA to another country return, they

2.
must be considered as non-originating, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:

(a)

the returning goods are the same 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 in accordance with the conditions set out in Title II shall not be affected by
working or processing done outside the EEA on materials exported from the EEA and subsequently reimported there,
provided:

(a)

the said materials are wholly obtained in the EEA or have undergone working or processing beyond the operations
referred to in Article 6 prior to being exported;

and

(b)

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

(i)

the reimported goods have been obtained by working or processing the exported materials;

and

(ii)

the total added value acquired outside the EEA by applying the provisions of this Article does not exceed 10 %
of the ex-works price of the end product for which originating status is claimed.

For the purposes of paragraph 3, the conditions for acquiring originating status set out in Title II shall not apply to
4.
working or processing done outside the EEA. However, where, in the list in Annex II, a rule setting a maximum value for
all the non-originating materials incorporated is applied in determining the originating status of the end product, the total
value of the non-originating materials incorporated in the territory of the party concerned, taken together with the total
added value acquired outside the EEA by applying the provisions of this Article, shall not exceed the stated percentage.

For the purposes of applying the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, “total added value” shall be taken to mean all

5.
costs arising outside the EEA, including the value of the materials incorporated there.

The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products which do not fulfil the conditions set out in the
6.
list in Annex II or which can be considered sufficiently worked or processed only if the general tolerance fixed in Article
5(2) is applied.

7.

The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products of Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System.

8. Any working or processing of the kind covered by this Article and done outside the EEA shall be done under the
outward processing arrangements, or similar arrangements.

Article 12

Direct transport

The preferential treatment provided for under the Agreement applies only to products, satisfying the requirements of
1.
this Protocol, which are transported directly within the EEA or through the territories of the countries referred to in
Article 3 with which cumulation is applicable. 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.

Evidence that the conditions set out in paragraph 1 have been fulfilled shall be supplied to the customs authorities of

2.
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:

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 with which
cumulation is applicable 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:

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)

2. A proof of origin shall 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 shall be
indicated thereon. Where necessary, additional documentary evidence of the conditions under which the products 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 organised 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 or in one of the countries
referred to in Article 3 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.

L 321/12

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

8.12.2005

The exporter of products covered by a proof of origin shall be prepared to submit at any time, upon request from
3.
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.
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.

The provisions of paragraphs 1 to 4 shall apply only in respect of materials which are of the kind to which the
5.
Agreement applies. Furthermore, they shall not preclude the application of an export refund system for agricultural
products, applicable upon export in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.

TITLE V

4. Without prejudice to paragraph 5, a movement certificate EUR.1 shall be issued by the customs authorities of
a Contracting Party in the following cases:

— if the products concerned can be considered as products originating in the EEA or in one of the countries referred to
in Article 3(1) with which cumulation is applicable, without application of cumulation with materials originating in
one of the countries referred to in Article 3(2), and fulfil the other requirements of this Protocol,

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.

Commission of the European Communities by 15 October and shall apply from 1 January the following year. The
Commission of the European Communities shall notify all countries concerned of the relevant amounts.

4. A country may round up or down the amount resulting from the conversion into its national currency of an
amount expressed in euro. The rounded-off amount may not differ from the amount resulting from the conversion by
more than 5 %. A country may retain unchanged its national currency equivalent of an amount expressed in euro if, at
the time of the annual adjustment provided for in paragraph 3, the conversion of that amount, prior to any rounding-off,
results in an increase of less than 15 % cent in the national currency equivalent. The national currency equivalent may be
retained unchanged if the conversion were to result in a decrease in that equivalent value.

5.
The amounts expressed in euro shall be reviewed by the EEA Joint Committee at the request of the Contracting
Parties. When carrying out this review, the EEA Joint Committee shall 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 euro.

Introductory notes to the list in Annex II

N o t e 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 the Protocol.

N o t e 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 “ex”, 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 headings are grouped together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and the description of
products in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent 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 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 is to be applied.

N o t e 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, shall apply, regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the
factory where these products are used or in another factory in a contracting party.

Example:

An engine of heading 8407, for which the rule states that the value of the non-originating materials which may be
is made from “other alloy steel roughly shaped by
incorporated may not exceed 40 % of the ex-works price,
forging” of heading 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 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.

3.3. Without prejudice to Note 3.2, where a rule uses the expression “Manufacture from materials of any heading”, then
materials of any heading(s) (even materials of the same description and heading as the product) may be used,
subject, however, to any specific limitations which may also be contained in the rule.

L 321/24

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

8.12.2005

However, the expression “Manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of heading …” or
“Manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of the same heading as the product” means
that materials of any heading(s) may be used, except those of the same description as the product as given in
column 2 of the list.

3.4. When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that

one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used.

Example:

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

N o t e 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, but not spun.

4.2. The term “natural fibres” includes horsehair of heading 0503, silk of headings 5002 and 5003, as well as wool
fibres and fine or coarse animal hair of headings 5101 to 5105, cotton fibres of headings 5201 to 5203, and other
vegetable fibres of headings 5301 to 5305.

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 headings 5501 to 5507.

N o t e 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).

8.12.2005

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 321/25

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:

— silk,

— wool,

— coarse animal hair,

— fine animal hair,

— horsehair,

— cotton,

— paper-making materials and paper,

— flax,

— true hemp,

— jute and other textile bast fibres,

— sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave,

— coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres,

— synthetic man-made filaments,

— artificial man-made filaments,

— current-conducting filaments,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene,

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(phenylene sulphide),

— synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(vinyl chloride),

— other synthetic man-made staple fibres,

— artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose,

— other artificial man-made staple fibres,

— yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped,

— yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester, whether or not gimped,

— products of heading 5605 (metallised yarn) incorporating strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of
a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm,
sandwiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film,

— other products of heading 5605.

L 321/26

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

8.12.2005

Example:

A yarn, of heading 5205, made from cotton fibres of heading 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading 5506, is
a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating synthetic staple fibres which do not satisfy the origin-rules (which require
manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed
10 % of the weight of the yarn.

Example:

A woollen fabric, of heading 5112, made from woollen yarn of heading 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of
heading 5509, is a mixed fabric. Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (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 that their total weight does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the
fabric.

Example:

Tufted textile fabric, of heading 5802, made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and cotton fabric of heading 5210,
is a only mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric made from yarns classified in two separate
headings, or if the cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures.

Example:

If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of
heading 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is,
accordingly, a mixed product.

5.3.

5.4.

In the case of products incorporating “yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether,
whether or not gimped”, this tolerance is 20 % in respect of this yarn.

In the case of products incorporating “strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film
whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of
a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film”, this tolerance is 30 % in respect of this strip.

N o t e 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.

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 rule applies, the value of materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 must be

taken into account when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated.

N o t e 7 :

7.1.

For the purposes of headings ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, the “specific processes” are
the following:

(a) vacuum-distillation;

(b)

redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process;

(c)

cracking;

(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 headings 2710, 2711 and 2712, the “specific processes” are the following:

(a) vacuum-distillation;

(b)

redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process;

(c)

cracking;

(d)

reforming;

(e)

extraction by means of selective solvents;

(f)

earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

(g) polymerisation;

(h) alkylation;

(ij)

isomerisation;

(k)

in respect of heavy oils of heading 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 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 of more than 250 °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 ex 2710 (e.g. hydrofinishing or decolourisation),
in order, more especially, to
improve colour or stability shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;

(n)

(o)

(p)

in respect of fuel oils of heading ex 2710 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than 30 % of
these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C, by the ASTM D 86 method;

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;

in respect of crude products (other than petroleum jelly, ozokerite, 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 crystallisation.

7.3.

For the purposes of headings 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 result
of mixing products with different sulphur contents, or any combination of these operations or like operations, do
not confer origin.
