       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

                 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 .

claims that his goods qualify for the GSP , in the manner shown in the following table :
