Cumulation in Albania  

1. 

2. 

3. 

Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2(2), products shall be considered as 
originating  in  Albania  if  such  products  are  obtained  there,  incorporating  materials 
originating in the Community, Albania, or in any country or territory participating in 
the  European  Union's  Stabilisation  and  Association  Process3  or  incorporating  the 
materials  originating  in  Turkey  to  which  the  Decision  n°1/95  of  the  EC-Turkey 
Association  Council  of  22  December  19954  applies,  provided  that  the  working  or 
processing carried out in Albania goes beyond the operations referred to in Article 7. 
It  shall  not  be  necessary  that  such  materials  have  undergone  sufficient  working  or 
processing. 

Where  the  working  or  processing  carried  out  in  Albania  does  not  go  beyond  the 
operations  referred  to  in  Article  7,  the  product  obtained  shall  be  considered  as 
originating in Albania only where the value added there is greater than the value of 
the materials used originating in any one of the other countries or territories referred 
to  in  paragraph  1.  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 Albania . 

Products, originating in one of the countries or territories referred to in paragraph 1, 
which  do  not  undergo  any  working  or  processing  in  Albania,  retain  their  origin  if 
exported into one of these countries or territories. 

4. 

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 or 
territories 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 Albania according to its own procedures.

Article 6 

Sufficiently worked or processed products 

1. 

For the purposes of Article 2, products which are not wholly obtained are considered 
to  be  sufficiently  worked  or  processed  when  the  conditions  set  out  in  the  list  in 
Annex II are fulfilled. 

The conditions referred to above indicate, for all products covered by 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, should not be used in the manufacture of a product may 
nevertheless be used, provided that: 

(a) 

(b) 

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

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

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

Article 7 

Insufficient working or processing 

1. 

Without  prejudice  to  paragraph  2,  the  following  operations  shall  be  considered  as 
insufficient  working  or  processing  to  confer  the  status  of  originating  products, 
whether or not the requirements of Article 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; 

(g)  operations to colour sugar or form sugar lumps; 

(h)  peeling, stoning and shelling, of fruits, nuts and vegetables;

(l) 

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

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

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

(m)  simple mixing of products, whether or not of different kinds; mixing of sugar 

with any other material; 

(n)

disassembly of products into parts; 

(o) 

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

(p) 

slaughter of animals. 

2. 

All operations carried out either in the Community or in Albania 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 provisions of this Protocol shall be 
the  particular  product  which  is  considered  as  the  basic  unit  when  determining 
classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonized System. 

It follows that: 

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

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

2. 

Where, under General Rule 5 of the Harmonized System, packaging is included with 
the  product  for  classification  purposes,  it  shall  be  included  for  the  purposes  of 
determining origin. 

Article 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 Harmonized System, shall be regarded as originating 
when  all  component  products  are  originating.  Nevertheless,  when  a  set  is  composed  of 
originating and non-originating products, the set as a whole shall be regarded as originating, 
provided that the value of the non-originating products does not exceed 15 per cent of the ex-
works price of the set.

Principle of territoriality 

1. 

2. 

3. 

Except  as  provided  for  in  Articles  3  and  4  and  paragraph  3  of  this  Article,  the 
conditions for acquiring originating status set out in Title II must be fulfilled without 
interruption in the Community or in Albania. 

Except  as  provided  for  in  Articles  3  and  4,  where  originating  goods  exported  from 
the Community or from Albania to another country return, they 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. 

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  Community  or 
Albania  on  materials  exported  from  the  Community  or  from  Albania  and 
subsequently re-imported there, provided: 

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

(a) 

and 

(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  Albania  by 
applying the provisions of this Article does not exceed 10 per cent of the 
ex-works price of the end product for which originating status is claimed. 

4. 

For  the  purposes  of  paragraph  3,  the  conditions  for  acquiring  originating  status  set 
out in Title II shall not apply to working or processing done outside the Community

or Albania. But 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  Community  or  Albania  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 costs arising outside the Community or Albania, 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 list in Annex II or which can be considered sufficiently 
worked or processed only if the general tolerance fixed in Article 6(2) is applied. 

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

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

Article 13 

Direct transport 

The  preferential  treatment  provided  for  under  the  Agreement  applies  only  to 
products, satisfying the requirements of this Protocol, which are transported directly 
between the Community and Albania or through the territories of the other countries 
or  territories  referred  to  in  Articles  3  and  4.  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 Community or Albania. 

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

(iii)  certifying the conditions under which the products remained in the transit 

country; or 

(c) 

failing these, any substantiating documents.

Community  or  in  Albania  shall  benefit  on  importation  from  the  provisions  of  the 
Agreement provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:

Community,  in  Albania  or  in  one  of  the  other  countries  or  territories  referred  to  in 
Articles 3 and 4 for which a proof of origin is issued or made out in accordance with 
the  provisions  of  Title V  shall  not  be  subject  in  the  Community  or  in  Albania  to 
drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties of whatever kind. 

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 the Community or in Albania 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. 

The exporter of products covered by a proof of origin shall be prepared to submit at 
any  time,  upon  request  from  the  customs  authorities,  all  appropriate  documents 
proving  that  no  drawback  has  been  obtained  in  respect  of  the  non-originating

under the exporter's responsibility, by his authorised representative. 

For this purpose, the exporter or his authorised representative shall fill out both the 
movement certificate EUR.1 and the application form, specimens of which appear in 
Annex III.  These  forms  shall  be  completed  in  one  of  the  languages  in  which  this 
Agreement is drawn up and in accordance with the provisions of the domestic law of 
the  exporting  country.  If  they  are  hand-written,  they  shall  be  completed  in  ink  in

empty space being crossed through. 

The  exporter  applying  for  the  issue  of  a  movement  certificate  EUR.1  shall  be

of this Protocol. 

The  customs  authorities  issuing  movement  certificates  EUR.1  shall  take  any  steps 
necessary  to  verify  the  originating  status  of  the  products  and  the  fulfilment  of  the 
other requirements of this Protocol. For this purpose, they shall have the right to call 
for  any  evidence  and  to  carry  out  any  inspection  of  the  exporter's  accounts  or  any 
other check considered appropriate. They shall also ensure that the forms referred to 
in paragraph 2 are duly completed. In particular, they shall check whether the space 
reserved for the description of the products has been completed in such a manner as 
to exclude all possibility of fraudulent additions. 

The date of issue of the movement certificate EUR.1 shall be indicated in Box 11 of 
the certificate.

Notwithstanding Article 17(7), a movement certificate EUR.1 may exceptionally be 
issued after exportation of the products to which it relates if: 

(a) 

or 

(b) 

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

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

3. 

4. 

For the implementation of paragraph 1, the exporter must indicate in his application 
the place and date of exportation of the products to which the movement certificate 
EUR.1 relates, and state the reasons for his request. 

The  customs  authorities  may  issue  a  movement  certificate  EUR.1  retrospectively 
only after verifying that the information supplied in the exporter's application agrees

or  in  Albania,  it  shall  be  possible  to  replace  the  original  proof  of  origin  by  one  or  more 
movement  certificates  EUR.1  for  the  purpose  of  sending  all  or  some  of  these  products 
elsewhere within the Community or Albania. The replacement movement certificate(s) EUR.1 
shall be issued by the customs office under whose control the products are placed. 

Article 21 

Accounting segregation 

1. 

2. 

3. 

Where  considerable  cost  or  material  difficulties  arise  in  keeping  separate  stocks  of 
originating  and  non-originating  materials  which  are  identical  and  interchangeable, 
the customs authorities may, at the written request of those concerned, authorise the 
so-called "accounting segregation" method to be used for managing such stocks. 

This method must be able to ensure that, for a specific reference-period, the number 
of products obtained which could be considered as "originating" is the same as that 
which would have been obtained if there had been physical segregation of the stocks. 

The  customs  authorities  may  grant  such  authorisation,  subject  to  any  conditions 
deemed appropriate.

6. 

This method is recorded and applied on the basis of the general accounting principles 
applicable in the country where the product was manufactured. 

The beneficiary of this facilitation may issue or apply for proofs of origin, as the case 
may be, for the quantity of products which may be considered as originating. At the 
request of the customs authorities, the beneficiary shall provide a statement of how 
the quantities have been managed. 

The  customs  authorities  shall  monitor  the  use  made  of  the  authorisation  and  may 
withdraw  it  at  any  time  whenever  the  beneficiary  makes  improper  use  of  the 
authorisation in any manner whatsoever or fails to fulfil any of the other conditions 
laid down in this Protocol. 

Article 22 

Conditions for making out an invoice declaration 

1. 

An invoice declaration as referred to in Article 16(1)(b) may be made out: 

(a) 

by an approved exporter within the meaning of Article 23, 

or 

2. 

3. 

4. 

5. 

(b)  by  any  exporter  for  any  consignment  consisting  of  one  or  more  packages 
containing originating products whose total value does not exceed EUR 6,000. 

An invoice declaration may be made out if the products concerned can be considered 
as products originating in the Community, in Albania or in one of the other countries 
or territories referred to in Articles 3 and 4 and fulfil the other requirements of this 
Protocol. 

The  exporter  making  out  an  invoice  declaration  shall  be  prepared  to  submit  at  any 
time,  at  the  request  of  the  customs  authorities  of  the  exporting  country,  all 
appropriate  documents  proving  the  originating  status  of  the  products  concerned  as 
well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol. 

An  invoice  declaration  shall  be  made  out  by  the  exporter  by  typing,  stamping  or 
printing  on  the  invoice,  the  delivery  note  or  another  commercial  document,  the 
declaration,  the  text  of  which  appears  in  Annex IV,  using  one  of  the  linguistic 
versions set out in that Annex and in accordance with the provisions of the domestic 
law of the exporting country. If the declaration is hand-written, it shall be written in 
ink in printed characters. 

Invoice  declarations  shall  bear  the  original  signature  of  the  exporter  in  manuscript. 
However,  an  approved  exporter  within  the  meaning  of  Article 23  shall  not  be 
required to sign such declarations provided that he gives the customs authorities of 
the exporting country a written undertaking that he accepts full responsibility for any 
invoice  declaration  which  identifies  him  as  if  it  had  been  signed  in  manuscript  by 
him.

An invoice declaration may be made out by the exporter when the products to which 
it  relates  are  exported,  or  after  exportation  on  condition  that  it  is  presented  in  the 
importing country no longer than two years after the importation of the products to 
which it relates. 

Article 23 

Approved exporter 

The  customs  authorities  of  the  exporting  country  may  authorise  any  exporter, 
hereinafter  referred  to  as  'approved  exporter',  who  makes  frequent  shipments  of 
products  under  this  Agreement  to  make  out  invoice  declarations  irrespective  of  the 
value of the products concerned. An exporter seeking such authorisation must offer 
to  the  satisfaction  of  the  customs  authorities  all  guarantees  necessary  to  verify  the 
originating status of the products as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements 
of this Protocol. 

The  customs  authorities  may  grant  the  status  of  approved  exporter  subject  to  any 
conditions which they consider appropriate. 

The customs authorities shall grant to the approved exporter a customs authorisation 
number which shall appear on the invoice declaration. 

The  customs  authorities  shall  monitor  the  use  of  the  authorisation  by  the  approved 
exporter. 

The customs authorities may withdraw the authorisation at any time. They shall do 
so  where  the  approved  exporter  no  longer  offers  the  guarantees  referred  to  in 
paragraph 1, no longer fulfils the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 or otherwise 
makes an incorrect use of the authorisation. 

Article 24 

Validity of proof of origin 

A  proof  of  origin  shall  be  valid  for  four  months  from  the  date  of  issue  in  the 
exporting  country,  and  must  be  submitted  within  the  said  period  to  the  customs 
authorities of the importing country. 

Proofs  of  origin  which  are  submitted  to  the  customs  authorities  of  the  importing 
country after the final date for presentation specified in paragraph 1 may be accepted 
for the purpose of applying preferential treatment, where the failure to submit these 
documents by the final date set is due to exceptional circumstances. 

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

Article 25 

Submission of proof of origin 

Proofs  of  origin  shall  be  submitted  to  the  customs  authorities  of  the  importing  country  in 
accordance with the procedures applicable in that country. The said authorities may require a 
translation of a proof of origin and may also require the import declaration to be accompanied 
by a statement from the importer to the effect that the products meet the conditions required 
for the implementation of the Agreement. 

Article 26 

Importation by instalments 

Where,  at  the  request  of  the  importer  and  on  the  conditions  laid  down  by  the  customs 
authorities  of  the  importing  country,  dismantled  or  non-assembled  products  within  the 
meaning  of  General  Rule 2(a)  of  the  Harmonized  System  falling  within  Sections  XVI 
and XVII or headings 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.

3. 

Products sent as small packages from private persons to private persons or forming 
part of travellers' personal luggage shall be admitted as originating products without 
requiring  the  submission  of  a  proof  of  origin,  provided  that  such  products  are  not 
imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the requirements of this 
Protocol and where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such a declaration. In the 
case  of  products  sent  by  post,  this  declaration  can  be  made  on  the  customs 
declaration CN22/CN23 or on a sheet of paper annexed to that document. 

Imports which are occasional and consist solely of products for the personal use of 
the recipients or travellers or their families shall not be considered as imports by way 
of  trade  if  it  is  evident  from  the  nature  and  quantity  of  the  products  that  no 
commercial purpose is in view. 

Furthermore, the total value of these products shall not exceed EUR 500 in the case 
of  small  packages  or  EUR 1,200  in  the  case  of  products  forming  part  of  travellers' 
personal luggage.

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

Article 31 

Amounts expressed in euro 

For  the  application  of  the  provisions  of  Article  22(1)(b)  and  Article  27(3)  in  cases 
where products are  invoiced  in a currency other than euro, amounts in the national 
currencies  of  the  Member  States  of  the  Community,  of  Albania  and  of  the  other 
countries  or  territories  referred  to  in  Articles  3  and  4  equivalent  to  the  amounts 
expressed in euro shall be fixed annually by each of the countries concerned. 

A consignment shall benefit from the provisions of Article 22(1)(b) or Article 27(3) 
by  reference  to  the  currency  in  which  the  invoice  is  drawn  up,  according  to  the 
amount fixed by the country concerned. 

The amounts to be used in any given national currency shall be the equivalent in that 
currency of the amounts expressed in euro as at the first working day of October. The 
amounts shall be communicated to the 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. 

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  per  cent.  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 per cent in the national currency equivalent. The national currency equivalent 
may  be  retained  unchanged  if  the  conversion  would  result  in  a  decrease  in  that 
equivalent value. 

The  amounts  expressed  in  euro  shall  be  reviewed  by  the  Stabilisation  and 
Association  Committee  at  the  request  of  the  Community  or  of  Albania.  When 
carrying out this review, the Stabilisation and Association Committee shall consider

responsible for verifying those certificates and invoice declarations. 

In  order  to  ensure  the  proper  application  of  this  Protocol,  the  Community  and 
Albania  shall  assist  each  other,  through  the  competent  customs  administrations,  in 
checking  the  authenticity  of  the  movement  certificates  EUR.1  or  the  invoice

Article 33 

Verification of proofs of origin 

Subsequent  verifications  of  proofs  of  origin  shall  be  carried  out  at  random  or

to  the  authenticity  of  such  documents,  the  originating  status  of  the  products 
concerned or the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Protocol. 

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

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

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 Harmonized System and the 
second column gives the description of goods used in that system for that heading or 
chapter. For each entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in 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  Harmonized  System,  are  classified  in  headings  of  the  chapter  or  in  any  of  the 
headings grouped together in column 1. 

2.3.  Where  there  are  different  rules  in  the  list  applying  to  different  products  within  a 
heading, each indent contains the description of that part of the heading covered by 
the adjacent rules in 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 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-

EN 

160 

   EN 

 
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  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. 

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  obviously  does  not  prevent  the  use  of  other 
materials  which,  because  of  their  inherent  nature,  cannot  satisfy  the  rule.  (See  also 
Note 6.2 below in relation to textiles). 

Example: 

The rule for prepared foods of heading 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. 

4.2. 

4.3. 

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. 

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. 

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 
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: 

-

silk, 

wool,

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. 

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. 

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.

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 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. 

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; 

(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)

(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) 

(n) 

(o) 

(p) 

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; 

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.
