Overview Resources

Preferential origin of goods is a possibility. As an importer, you can decide whether you want to take advantage of it or not. In this video, which is based on a presentation prepared for a webinar on origin and trade restrictions, we talk about another type of origin, the non-preferential origin, which is a must for all goods.

You don't have a choice, you have to determine non-preferential origin according to certain rules and indicate it in the customs declaration. It is very important to determine this origin correctly - certain duty rates and various other measures are linked to it.

We give an overview of a practical situation of what can happen if you do not apply the rules for determining non-preferential origin correctly.

Please find the slides in the resources.

"...the recent use of origin in imposing punitive tariffs and taking action against countries has elevated non-preferential origin to new heights"

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.
