Article 6

Sufficiently worked or processed products

For the purposes of Article 2, products which are not wholly obtained are 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, should
not be used in the manufacture of a product may nevertheless be used, provided that:

(a)

their total value does not exceed 10 per cent 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 through
the application of this paragraph.

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

3.

Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply subject to the provisions of 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
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)

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.

Article 11

goods which do not enter and which are not intended to enter into the final composition of the product.

TITLE III

TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS

Article 12

Principle of territoriality

Except as provided for in Articles 3 and 4 and paragraph 3 of this Article, the conditions for acquiring originating status

1.
set out in Title II must be fulfilled without interruption in the Community or in Albania.

2.
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.

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

(a)

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;

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

5.
arising outside the Community or Albania, including the value of the materials incorporated there.

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 processed only if the general tolerance fixed in Article 6(2) is
applied.

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

8. 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.

authorities of the importing country in the normal manner. The name and address of the exhibition must be indicated
thereon. Where necessary, additional documentary evidence of the conditions under which they have been exhibited may be
required.

obtained from the said materials are exported and not when they are retained for home use there.

3. 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 materials used in the manufacture of the products concerned and that all customs duties or charges having

Article 21

Accounting segregation

1. 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.

2. 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.

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

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

5. 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.

6. 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

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.

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.

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.

5.
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.

6. 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

1. 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

authorities all guarantees necessary to verify the originating status of the products as well as the fulfilment of the other
requirements of this Protocol.

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.

Validity of proof of origin

1. 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.

2.
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

3.
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

Article 27

Exemptions from proof of origin

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.

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 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

3.
the case of products forming part of travellers' personal luggage.

Article 30

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.

2. Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a proof of origin should not cause this document to be rejected if these
errors are not such as to create doubts concerning the correctness of the statements made in this document.

Article 31

Amounts expressed in euro

1.
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.

which the invoice is drawn up, according to the amount fixed by the country concerned.

3. 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.

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
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.

5. 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 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.

3. 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.

4.
If the customs authorities of the importing country decide to suspend the granting of preferential treatment to the
products concerned while awaiting the results of the verification, release of the products shall be offered to the importer
subject to any precautionary measures judged necessary.

5. The customs authorities requesting the verification shall be informed of the results of this verification as soon as
possible. These results must indicate clearly whether the documents are authentic and whether 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.

6.
If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within ten months of the date of the verification request or if the reply
does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document in question or the real origin of the
products, the requesting customs authorities shall, except in exceptional circumstances, refuse entitlement to the preferences.

Article 34

Dispute settlement

Where disputes arise in relation to the verification procedures of Article 33 which cannot be settled between the customs
authorities requesting a verification and the customs authorities responsible for carrying out this verification or where they
raise a question as to the interpretation of this Protocol, they shall be submitted to the Stabilisation and Association
Committee.

In all cases the settlement of disputes between the importer and the customs authorities of the importing country shall be
under the legislation of the said country.

Article 35

Penalties

Penalties shall be imposed on any person who draws up, or causes to be drawn up, a document which contains incorrect
information for the purpose of obtaining a preferential treatment for products.

Article 36

Free zones

1. The Community and Albania shall take all necessary steps to ensure that products traded under cover of a proof of
origin which in the course of transport use a free zone situated in their territory, are not substituted by other goods and do
not undergo handling other than normal operations designed to prevent their deterioration.

2. By means of an exemption to the provisions contained in paragraph 1, when products originating in the Community or
in Albania are imported into a free zone under cover of a proof of origin and undergo treatment or processing, the
authorities concerned shall issue a new movement certificate EUR.1 at the exporter's request, if the treatment or processing
undergone is in conformity with the provisions of this Protocol.

CEUTA AND MELILLA

Article 37

Application of the Protocol

1. The term “Community” used in Article 2 does not cover Ceuta and Melilla.

2.
Products originating in Albania, when imported into Ceuta or Melilla, shall enjoy in all respects the same customs
regime as that which is applied to products originating in the customs territory of the Community under Protocol 2 of the
Act of Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities. Albania shall grant
to imports of products covered by the Agreement and originating in Ceuta and Melilla the same customs regime as that
which is granted to products imported from and originating in the Community.

For the purpose of the application of paragraph 2 concerning products originating in Ceuta and Melilla, this Protocol

3.
shall apply mutatis mutandis subject to the special conditions set out in Article 38.

Annex I

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 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 col-
umn 4, the rule set out in column 3 is to be applied.

N o t e 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
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.

19.12.2008

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 341/77

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.

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 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.

L 341/78

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

19.12.2008

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.

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.

19.12.2008

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 341/79

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.

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.

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;

(d)

reforming;

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 oC, 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 oC, 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.
