(*) In determining the value of materials and parts, the following must be taken into account :
     (a)   in respect of 'originating' materials and parts, the first verifiable price paid, or the price which would be paid in case of sale, for the said products
           on the territory of the country where working, processing or assembly is carried out ;
     ( b) in respect of other materials and parts, the provisions of Article 4 of the Regulation determining :
            (i) the value of imported products,
          (ii) the value of products of undetermined origin.

 1 . Countries whldi accept this form for the purposes ol the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP)
      Austria ,                         Belgium ,            Canada ,            Denmark ,                Finland ,                  France ,
      Fed . Rep. of Germany,             Ireland ,           Italy ,             Luxembourg               Japan ,                    Netherlands ,
      Norway,                           Sweden ,             Switzerland ,       United Kingdom ,         United States of America .
      Details of the rules governing admission to GSP in these countries are obtainable from the Customs authorities there . The main elements
       of the rules are indicated in the following paragraphs .
 2. Conditions . The main conditions for admission to preference are that goods sent to any of the countries listed above
          (i) must fall within a description of goods eligible for preference in the country of destination ; and
        (ii) must comply with the consignment conditions specified by the country of destination. In general , goods must be consigned direct
               from the country of exportation to the country of destination , but in most cases passage through one or more intermediate coun­
               tries , with or without transhipment, is accepted provided that at the time they are exported the goods are clearly intended for the
               declared country of destination and that any intermediate transit, transhipment or temporary warehousing arises only from the
               requirements of transportation ; and
       (iii) must comply with the origin criteria specified for those goods by the country of destination . A summary indication of the rules
               generally applicable is given in paragraphs 3 and 4 .
 3. Origin criteria. For exports to the above-mentioned countries , with the exception of Canada and the USA, the position is that either
          (i) the goods shall be wholly produced in the country of exportation , that is , they should fall within a description of goods which
              is accepted as " wholly produced* under the rules prescribed by the country of destination concerned , or
        (ii) alternatively, if the goods are manufactured wholly or partly from materials or components imported into the country of exportation
               or of undetermined origin these materials or components must have undergone a substantial transformation there into a different
               product. It is important to note that all materials and components which cannot be shown to be of that country 's origin must be
               treated as if they were imported. Usually the transformation must be such as to lead to the exported goods being classified under
               a Brussels Nomenclature Tariff heading other than that relating to any of the above materials or components used. In addition special
               rules are prescribed for various classes of goods in Lists A and B of certain countries ' rules of origin and other subsidiary provisi­
              ons and these should be carefully studied .
 If the goods qualify under the above criteria , the exporter must indicate in Box 8 of the form the origin criteria on the basis of which
he claims that his goods qualify for the GSP , in the manner shown in the following table :
         Circumstances of production or manufacture in the first coun­                  Insert in Box 8

         ons of para . 3 (ii), which fall under a Brussels Nomenclature
         Tariff heading specified in Column 1 of List A and which                        example : « A »
         satisfy any conditions in Columns 3 and 4 of List A which are                              74.07
         relevant to these goods

         of para. 3 ( ii), which are not specifically referred to in Lists
         A or B , and which do not contravene a general provision of                    example «X »

NOTE . " List A" and " List B " refer to the lists of qualifying processes specified by the countries of importation concerned .
4. Origin criteria for exports to Canada and the United States of America. For exports to these two countries , the position is that either
         (i) the goods shall be wholly produced in the country of exportation , that is , they should fall within a description of goods which is
              accepted as " wholly produced" under the rules prescribed by the country of destination concerned , or
       (ii) alternatively, if the goods are manufactured wholly or partly from materials or components imported into the country of exportation
              or of undetermined origin , those materials or components must have undergone a substantial transformation there into a different
              product. It is important to note that all materials and components which cannot be shown to be of that country's origin must be
              treated as if they were imported . In the case of Canada , their value must not exceed ... ·/· of the ex-factory price of the exported
              article . In the case of the USA , their value must not exceed 50·/· of the appraised value for Customs purposes of the exported ar­
              ticle ; but , as shown in the table below , the exporter must only declare the value of the materials and components concerned as a
              percentage of the ex-factory price of the exported article .
If the goods qualify under the above criteria , the exporter must indicate in Box 8 of the form the origin criteria on the basis of which he
claims that his goods qualify for the GSP, in the manner shown in the following table :

         para . 4 ( ii) above
                                                                                        imported or of undetermined origin , expressed as a per­
                                                                                        centage of the ex-factory price of the exported goods
                                                                                        example : « Y »
                                                                                                    35°/o
  (f) Goods wholly produced in the country of exportation ( see                                     « P«
         para. 4 ( i ) above )
5. Each article must qualify. It should be noted that all the goods in a consignment must qualify separately in their own right . This is of
      particular relevance when similar articles of different sizes or spare parts aie sent .
6. Description of goods . The description of goods must be sufficiently detailed to enable the goods to be identified by the Customs Officer
      examining them .

        Le détail des règlements concernant l'admission au bénéfice du Système généralisé de préférences dans ces pays peut être obtenu
        auprès de leurs administrations des douanes . Les éléments principaux de ces règlements sont résumés dans les paragraphes qui sui­
        vent .
  2. Conditions . Les principales conditions d'admission au bénéfice des préférences sont que la marchandise expédiée vers l'un quelconque
        des pays susmentionnés :
           i) doit correspondre à la définition établie des marchandises pouvant bénéficier du régime de préférences dans le pays de destina­
              tion , et
         ii) doit satisfaire aux conditions d'expédition spécifiées par le pays de destination. En général , la marchandise doit être expédiée di­
              rectement du pays d'exportation au pays de destination, mais , dans la plupart des cas , le passage par un ou plusieurs pays inter­
              médiaires , avec ou sans transbordement , est admis , à condition qu'au moment où elle est exportée , la marchandise soit manifeste­
              ment destinée au pays de destination déclaré et que tout transit , transbordement ou entreposage temporaire ne résulte que des
              besoins     du transport , et
       iii) doit répondre aux critères d'origine spécifiés pour cette marchandise par le pays de destination . Des indications sommaires sur les
              règles d'origine généralement applicables sont données aux paragraphes 3 et 4 .
  3. Critères d'origine. Pour les exportations vers les pays susmentionnés , à l'exception du Canada et des Etats-Unis d'Amérique,
          i) ou bien la marchandise (doit être entièrement produite dans le pays exportateur, c'est-à-dire correspondre à la définition des mar­
              chandises considérées coinme «entièrement produites» qui figure dans les règlements du pays de destination intéressé ,
         ii) ou bien si elle est fabriquée entièrement ou en partie au moyen de matières ou de composants importés dans le pays exportateur
              ou d'origine indéterminée , ces matières ou composants doivent y avoir subi une transformation substantielle qui en fasse un produit
              différent . Il Importe de noter que toutes matières et tous composants à propos desquels il est impossible de prouver qu'ils sont
              originaires dudit pays doivent être considérés comme importés . En général , la transformation doit être telle qu'elle ait pour effet
              de faire classer la marchandise exportée dans une rubrique de la Nomenclature douanière de Bruxelles différente de celle où se­
              raient classés ces matières ou composants . En outre , des règles d'origine spéciales et des dispositions subsidiaires sont prévues
              pour diverses catégories de marchandises des listes A et B de certains pays , et ces règles et dispositions devraient être soigneuse­
              ment étudiées .
  Si la marchandise satisfait aux critères ci-dessus , l'exportateur indiquera , dans la case 8 de la formule , le critère d'origine en vertu du­
  quel il demande , pour cette marchandise , le bénéfice du Système généralisé de préférences , de la manière indiquée dans le tableau ci­

                                                       BE ENDORSED OR A FORM APR MAY BE MADE OUT
  A certificate of origin form A may be endorsed or a form APR may be made out only in respect of those goods which , in the country of exportation , fall within
  one of the following catergories :
       (i) either the goods shall be wholly produced in the country of exportation , that is , they should fall within a description of goods which is accepted as
            " wholly produced " under the rules prescribed by the country of destination concerned , or
      (ii) alternatively, if the goods are manufactured wholly cr partly from materials or components imported into the country of exportation or of undetermined
            origin these materials or components must have undergone a substantial transformation there into a different product . It is important to note that all maJ
            terials and components which cannot be shown to be of that country 's origin must be treated as if they were imported . Usually the transformation musl
            be such as to lead to the exported goods being classified under a Brussels Nomenclature Tariff heading other than that relating to any of the above mate­
            rials or components used . In addition special rules are prescribed for various classes of goods in Lists A and B of certain countries ' rules of origin anO
            other subsidiary provisions and these should be carefully studied .
 II the goods qualify under the above criteria, the exporter must indicate in line " Origin criterion " of part 1 of the form the origin criteria on the basis of which
 he claims that his goods qualify for the GSP , in the manner shown in the following table :

• Checks on forms APR are to be carried out at random and also whenever the Customs authorities of the importing , country have reasonable doubt as to the
  true origin of the goods in question or of certain parts thereof.                                                                                              !
  The Customs authorities of the importing country are to return to the authorities responsible for checking in the exporting country the form APR contained
  in the consignment , giving the formal or substantive reasons for an inquiry . Wherever possible they attach to this form the invoice which has been presented
  to them , or a copy thereof, and forward any information which it has been possible to obtain and which suggets that the particulars given on the form APR
  are inaccurate .
  If the Customs authorities of the importing country decide to suspend execution of the Generalised System of Preferences while awaiting the results of th<
  check, they shall offer to release the goods to the importer subject to any conservatory measures deemed necessary .

                                                   OU A L'ETABLISSEMENT D'UN FORMULAIRE APR
Peuvent seules donner lieu au visa d'un certificat d'origine formule A ou à l'établissement d'un formulaire APR les mardiandises qui , dans le pays d'exportation ,
entrent dans l'un des catégories suivantes :
  i) ou bien la marchandise doit être entièrement produite dans le pays exportateur , c'est à dire correspondre à la définition des marchandises considérées comme
     « entièrement produites» qui figure dans les règlements du pays de destination intéressé ,
 ii) ou bien si elle est fabriquée entièrement ou en partie au moyen de matières ou de composants importés dans le pays exportateur ou d'origine indéterminée ,
     ces matières ou composants doivent y avoir subi une transformation substantielle qui en fasse un produit différent. Il importe de noter que toutes matières
     et tous composants à propos desquels il est impossible de prouver qu'ils sont originaires dudit pays doivent être considérés comme importés . En général , la
     transformation doit être telle qu'elle ait pour effet de faire classer la marchandise exportée dans une rubrique de ' la Nomenclature douanière de Bruxelles
     différente de celle où seraient classés ces matières ou composants . En outre , des règles d'origine spéciales et des dispositions subsidiaires sont prévues pour
     diverses catégories de mardiandises des listes A et B de certains pays , et ces règles et dispositions devraient être soigneusement étudiées .
Si la marchandise satisfait aux critères ci-dessus, l'exportateur indiquera à la ligne « critère d'origine » du volet 1 du formulaire , le critère d'origine en vertu du­
quel il demande , pour cette marchandise , le bénéfice du Système généralisé de préférences , de la manière indiquée dans le tableau ci-après :

(*) Le contrôle a posteriori du formulaire APR est effectué à titre de sondage ou chaque fois que la douane du pays d'importation a des doutes fondés en ce qui
     concerne l'origine réelle de la marchandise en cause ou de certains de ses composants .
    La douane du pays d'importation envoie à l'Administration ou au Service du pays d'exportation chargé du contrôle le formulaire APR contenu dans le colis ,
    en indiquant les motifs de forme ou de fond qui justifient une enquête . Autant que possible , elle joint à ce formulaire la facture qui lui a été présentée ou
    une copie de celle-ci , et fournit tous les renseignements qui ont pu être obtenus et qui font penser que les mentions portées sur le formulaire APR sont in­
     exactes .
     Si elle décide de surseoir à l'application du Système généralisé de préférences dans l'attente des résultats du contrôle , la douane du pays d'importation!
     offre à l'importateur la mainlevée des marchandises sous réserve des mesures conservatoires jugées nécessaires .                                               j
