   ' . 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.
       1 Conditions. The main conditions for admission to preference are that goods sent to any of the countries listed above
             • tl ) 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 inter-
Vi        >«
                           . mediate countries, with or without transhipment, is accepted provided that at the time they are exported the goods are clearly
    ':v                    ' intended for the declared country of destination and that any intermediate transit, transhipment or temporary warehousing
 ' V*'                 - arises only from the requirements of transportation ; and
              < iil ) must comply with the origin criteria specified for those goods by the country of destination. A summary indication of the rules
'• x. ■            > . 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 exporta-
                             tlon 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 com­
                             ponents 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 provisions 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 :

                              purposes of the exported article ; 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.
