            1 . The lists contain some products which do not benefit from tariff preferences but which may
                 be used in the manufacture of products which do benefit.
           2. The description of the products in column 2 in the lists corresponds to that of the same heading
                 number in the Brussels Nomenclature.
           3 . When a Brussels Nomenclature heading number in column 1 of the lists is prefixed by 'ex',
                 the corresponding rule applies only to the products stated in column 2.

1 . Countries which accept thli form tor the purposes of the Generallied 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
     (Hi) 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 .
M 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
        try named in Box 12 of the form
 ( a) Goods , worked upon but not wholly produced in the exporting                    «A», followed by the Brussels Nomenclature heading num­
       country, which were pioduced in conformity with the provisi­                   ber of the exported goods
       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
(b) Goods , worked upon but not wholly produced in the expor­                         «B «, followed by the Brussels Nomenclature heading num­
       ting country , which fall within an item in Column 1 of List B                 ber of the exported goods
        and which comply with the provisions of that item                             example : «B »
                                                                                                 73.15
(c) Goods , worked upon but not wholly produced in the exporting                      «X», followed by the Brussels Nomenclature heading num­
       country, which were produced in conformity with provisions                     ber of the exported 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 »
       List A                                                                                    98.02
(d) Goods wholly produced in the country of exportation (see                                     « P >.
       para . 3 (i) above)
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 Dosition 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 .
[f 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
:laims 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
        try named in Box 12 of the form
(e) Goods which are covered by the value added rule described in                      « Y», followed by the value of materials and components
       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«/.
  (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 .
8. Description of goods. The description of goods must be sufficiently detailed to enable the goods to be identified by the Customs Officer
     examining them .

           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 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 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 .

(*) 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 .
