Article 3

Cumulation in the Community

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

1. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2(1), prod-
ucts shall be considered as originating in the Community if they
are obtained there, incorporating materials originating in Bul-
garia, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein) (1), Iceland, Norway,
Romania, Turkey or in the Community, provided that the work-
ing or processing carried out in the Community goes beyond the
operations referred to in Article 7. It shall not be necessary for
such materials
to have undergone sufficient working or
processing.

2. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2(1), prod-
ucts shall be considered as originating in the Community if such
products are obtained there, incorporating materials originating
in the Faroe Islands or in any country which is a participant in the
Euro-Mediterranean partnership, based on the Barcelona Declara-
tion adopted at the Euro-Mediterranean Conference held on 27
and 28 November 1995, other than Turkey, provided that the
working or processing carried out in the Community goes beyond
the operations referred to in Article 7. It shall not be necessary for
to have undergone sufficient working or
such materials
processing.

3. Where the working or processing carried out in the Com-
munity does not go beyond the operations referred to in Article 7,
the product obtained shall be considered as originating in the
Community only where the value added there is greater than the
value of the materials used originating in any one of the other
countries referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2. If this is not so, the
product obtained shall be considered as originating in the coun-
try which accounts for the highest value of originating materials
used in the manufacture in the Community.

4.
Products, originating in one of the countries referred to in
paragraphs 1 and 2, which do not undergo any working or pro-
cessing in the Community, retain their origin if exported into one
of these countries.

4a.
For the purpose of implementing Article 2(1)(b), working
or processing carried out in Morocco, Algeria or Tunisia shall be
considered as having been carried out in the Community when
the products obtained undergo subsequent working or process-
ing in the Community. Where pursuant to this provision the
originating products are obtained in two or more of the countries
concerned, they shall be considered as originating in the Commu-
nity only if the working or processing goes beyond the operations
referred to in Article 7.

The cumulation provided for in this Article may be applied

5.
only provided that:

(a) a preferential

trade

in accordance with
agreement
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;

and

(c) notices indicating the fulfilment of the necessary require-
ments to apply cumulation have been published in the Offi-
cial Journal of the European Union (C series) and in Algeria
according to its 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).

The Community shall provide Algeria, through the Commission
of the European Communities, with details of the Agreements,
including their dates of entry into force, and their corresponding
rules of origin, which are applied with the other countries referred
to in paragraphs 1 and 2.

ucts shall be considered as originating in Algeria if they are
obtained there, incorporating materials originating in Bulgaria,
Switzerland (including Liechtenstein) (1), Iceland, Norway, Roma-
nia, Turkey or in the Community, provided that the working or
processing carried out in Algeria goes beyond the operations
referred to in Article 7. It shall not be necessary for such materi-
als to have undergone sufficient working or processing.

2. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2(2), prod-
ucts shall be considered as originating in Algeria if they are
obtained there, incorporating materials originating in the Faroe
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, provided that the
working or processing carried out in Algeria goes beyond the
operations referred to in Article 7. It shall not be necessary for
such materials
to have undergone sufficient working or
processing.

3. Where the working or processing carried out in Algeria
does not go beyond the operations referred to in Article 7, the
product obtained shall be considered as originating in Algeria
only where the value added there is greater than the value of the
materials used originating in any one of the other 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 Algeria.

land and is a Contracting Party to the Agreement on the European
Economic Area.

4.
Products originating in one of the countries referred to in

L 297/8

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

15.11.2007

The conditions referred to above indicate, for all products cov-
ered 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 neverthe-
less 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 Chap-
ters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System.

Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply subject to the provisions of

3.
Article 7.

Article 7

Insufficient working or processing

1. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, the following operations
shall be considered as insufficient working or processing to con-
fer the status of originating products, whether or not the require-
ments of Article 6 are satisfied:

(a) preserving operations to ensure that the products remain in

good condition during transport and storage;

(b) breaking-up and assembly of packages;

(c) washing, cleaning; removal of dust, oxide, oil, paint or other

coverings;

(d)

ironing or pressing of textiles;

(e)

simple painting and polishing operations;

(f) husking, partial or total bleaching, polishing, and glazing of

cereals and rice;

(k)

sifting, screening, sorting, classifying, grading, matching;
(including the making-up of sets of articles);

(l)

simple placing in bottles, cans, flasks, bags, cases, boxes, fix-
ing on cards or boards and all other simple packaging
operations;

(m) affixing or printing marks, labels, logos and other like distin-

guishing signs on products or their packaging;

(n)

(o)

simple assembly of parts of articles to constitute a complete
article or disassembly of products into parts;

(p) a combination of two or more operations specified in (a)

to (n);

(q)

slaughter of animals.

All operations carried out either in the Community or in
2.
Algeria 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 8

Unit of qualification

1.
The unit of qualification for the application of the provi-
sions of this Protocol shall be the particular product which is con-
sidered 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 prod-
ucts classified under the same heading of the Harmonised
System, each product must be taken individually when apply-
ing 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 9

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 10

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.

The acquisition of originating status in accordance with the
3.
conditions set out in Title II shall not be affected by working or
processing done outside the Community or Algeria on materials
exported from the Community or from Algeria and subsequently
re-imported there, provided:

(a)

the said materials are wholly obtained in the Community or
in Algeria or have undergone working or processing beyond
the operations referred to in Article 7 prior to being exported;

Article 11

Neutral elements

and

uct, it shall not be necessary to determine the origin of the fol-
lowing 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 12

Principle of territoriality

(b)

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

(i)

the re-imported goods have been obtained by working
or processing the exported materials;

and

(ii)

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

4.
For the purposes of paragraph 3, the conditions for acquir-
ing originating status set out in Title II shall not apply to working
or processing done outside the Community or Algeria. However,
where, in the list in Annex II, a rule setting a maximum value for
all the non-originating materials incorporated is applied in deter-
mining 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 Community or Algeria by applying the pro-
visions of this Article, shall not exceed the stated percentage.

1.
Except as provided for in Article 2(1)(c), Articles 3 and 4
and paragraph 3 of this Article, the conditions for acquiring origi-
nating status set out in Title II must be fulfilled without interrup-
tion in the Community or in Algeria.

For the purposes of applying the provisions of paragraphs 3
5.
and 4, ‘total added value’ shall be taken to mean all costs arising
outside the Community or Algeria, including the value of the
materials incorporated there.

Except as provided for in Articles 3 and 4, where originat-
2.
ing goods exported from the Community or from Algeria to
another country return,
they must be considered as non-
originating, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of
the customs authorities that:

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

(a)

the returning goods are the same as those exported;

The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to

7.
products of Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System.

and

(b)

they have not undergone any operation beyond that neces-
sary to preserve them in good condition while in that coun-
try or while being exported.

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

1.
The preferential treatment provided for under the Agree-
ment applies only to products, satisfying the requirements of this
Protocol, which are transported directly between the Community
and Algeria or through the territories of the other countries
referred to in Articles 3 and 4 with which cumulation is appli-
cable. 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 ter-
ritory other than that of the Community or Algeria.

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;

and

(d)

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

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 condi-
tions 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 pre-
mises with a view to the sale of foreign products, and during
which the products remain under customs control.

The prohibition in paragraph 1 shall apply to any arrange-
ment for refund, remission or non-payment, partial or complete,

within the said period to the customs authorities of the import-
ing country.

2.
Proofs of origin which are submitted to the customs authori-
ties of the importing country after the final date for presentation
specified in paragraph 1 may be accepted for the purpose of apply-
ing preferential treatment, where the failure to submit these docu-
ments by the final date set is due to exceptional circumstances.

In other cases of belated presentation, the customs authori-
ties of the importing country may accept the proofs of origin
where the products have been submitted before the said final date.

sion 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 customs declaration
CN22/CN23 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

Supplier’s declaration

A separate supplier’s declaration shall, except in cases pro-
3.
vided in paragraph 4, be made out by the supplier for each con-
signment 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 suffi-
cient 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
Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or the Community 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 decla-
ration. The customs authorities of the country where the declara-
tion 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 sup-
plier in the form prescribed in Annex VI and shall describe the
goods concerned in sufficient detail to enable them to be identi-
fied. It shall be provided to the customer concerned before he is
supplied with the first consignment of goods covered by this dec-
laration 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.

shall be typed or printed using one of the languages in which the
Agreement is drawn up, in accordance with the provisions of the
national law of the country where it is made out, and shall bear
the original signature of the supplier in manuscript. The declara-
tion may also be handwritten; in such a case, it shall be written in
ink in printed characters.

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 docu-
ments proving that the information given on this declaration is
correct.

declaration is made out, in the Community or Algeria for origi-
nating products, in the manufacture of which goods coming from
Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or the Community which have under-
gone working or processing in these countries without having
obtained preferential originating status, have been used, account
shall be taken of the supplier’s declaration given for these goods
in accordance with this Article.

The supplier’s declaration referred to in paragraph 1 shall
2.
serve as evidence of the working or processing undergone in
Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or the Community by the goods con-
cerned for the purpose of determining whether the products in
the manufacture of which these goods are used, may be consid-
ered as products originating in the Community or Algeria and ful-
fil the other requirements of this Protocol.

ment certificate EUR.1 or EUR-MED or an invoice declaration or
invoice declaration EUR-MED may be considered as products

ments made in the proof of origin and those made in the docu-
ments submitted to the customs office for the purpose of carrying

render the proof of origin null and void if it is duly established
that this document does correspond to the products submitted.

the Community and Algeria shall assist each other, through the
competent customs administrations, in checking the authenticity
of the movement certificates EUR.1 and EUR-MED, invoice dec-
larations and the invoice declarations EUR-MED or the supplier’s
declarations and the correctness of the information given in these
documents.

1.
Subsequent verifications of supplier’s declarations or long-
term supplier’s declarations may be carried out at random or
whenever the customs authorities of the country where such dec-
larations have been taken into account to issue a movement cer-
tificate EUR.1 or to make out an invoice declaration, have
reasonable doubts as to the authenticity of the document or the
correctness of the information given in this document.

Article 33

Verification of proofs of origin

1.
Subsequent verifications of proofs of origin shall be carried
out at random or whenever the customs authorities of the import-
ing country have reasonable doubts as to the authenticity of such
documents, the originating status of the products concerned or
the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol.

2.
For the purposes of implementing paragraph 1, the customs
authorities of the importing country shall return the movement
certificate EUR.1 or EUR-MED and the invoice, if it has been
submitted, the invoice declaration or the invoice declaration EUR-
MED, or a copy of these documents, to the customs authorities of
the exporting country giving, where appropriate, the reasons for
the request for verification. 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.

3.
The verification shall be carried out by the customs authori-
ties of the exporting country. For this purpose, they shall have
the right to call for any evidence and to carry out any inspection
the exporter’s accounts or any other check considered
of
appropriate.

2.
For the purposes of implementing paragraph 1, the customs
authorities of the country referred to in paragraph 1 shall return
the supplier’s declaration and invoice(s), delivery note(s) or other
commercial documents concerning goods covered by this decla-
ration, to the customs authorities of the country where the dec-
laration was made out, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of
substance or form for the request for verification.

They shall forward, in support of the request for subsequent veri-
fication, any documents and information that have been obtained
suggesting that the information given in the supplier’s declaration
is incorrect.

3.
The verification shall be carried out by the customs authori-
ties of the country where the supplier’s declaration was made out.
For this purpose, they shall have the right to call for any evidence
and carry out any inspection of the supplier’s accounts or any
other check which they consider appropriate.

4.
The customs authorities requesting the verification shall be
informed of the results thereof as soon as possible. These results
shall indicate clearly whether the information given in the suppli-
er’s declaration is correct and make it possible for them to deter-
mine whether and to what extent this supplier’s declaration could
be taken into account for issuing a movement certificate EUR.1 or
for making out an invoice declaration.

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 6 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 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 ‘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 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 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.

Note 3:

3.1. The provisions of Article 6 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
incorporated may not exceed 40 % of the ex-works price, is made from ‘other alloy steel roughly shaped by forging’ of
heading ex 7224.

If this forging has been forged in the Community from a non-originating ingot, it has already acquired originating sta-
tus 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 can-
not 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.

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.

15.11.2007

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 297/21

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.

Note 4:

4.1. The term ‘natural fibres’ is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres. It is restricted to the
stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres which have been
carded, combed or otherwise processed, 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.

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.)

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.

L 297/22

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

15.11.2007

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.

15.11.2007

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 297/23

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 manu-
facture 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, accord-
ingly, a mixed product.

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 % 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 a transparent or
coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film’, this tolerance is 30 % in respect of this strip.

Note 6:

6.1. Where, in the list, reference is made to this Note, 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 rea-
son, 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.

Note 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;

L 297/24

(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 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 lubri-
cating 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 con-
taining 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 clean-
ing, decanting, desalting, water separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur content as a result of mix-
ing products with different sulphur contents, or any combination of these operations or like operations, do not confer
origin.
