Determination of preferential origin means a determination as to whether a product qualifies as an originating product in accordance with the Protocol on Rules of Origin to a Free Trade Agreement or the provisions of the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP).

In the process of determining the preferential origin, you will have to answer these main questions:

  1. What is the HS code of your product?
  2. Is the product wholly obtained in the country or not?
  3. Do these rules provide origin to the product: minimal operations, list rules, cumulation, tolerance?
  4. Are the principles of territoriality, “no drawback”, and direct transport (non-manipulation) respected?

In the video, some of the points are explained.

Supplier's declaration in preferential trade: when to use it?
25-06-2023

Global trade based on preferential treatment offers benefits to its participants. The main one is a reduction in financial costs due to the application of reduced tariff rates when the goods have a preferential origin. In other words, if a product originates in one country and is sold to another country with which there is a preferential trade agreement, the product may be subject to a reduced or even zero duty rate. However, the mere fact that the goods originate in a particular country is not enough to qualify for such benefits. The preferential origin of the goods must be proven, so that the customs authorities do not suspect any manipulation or fraud on the part of importers. Each specific preferential trade agreement sets out acceptable ways of proving the preferential origin of goods. A supplier's declaration is one of the means of proof. Let us find out what it is and when it can be used.

Harley-Davidson case highlights limits of binding origin information in Union customs law
07-05-2023

In the European Union customs law, it is possible for an economic operator to obtain binding tariff or origin information decisions, which provide assurance about the tariff classification or origin of goods. However, does such a customs decision always guarantee legal security just because national customs has issued a favorable decision to the trader?
