2 What is rules of origin? Origin = economic nationality of a good Origin is the link between a product and a country Rules of origin = rules to determine the origin of goods 2

3 Why do we need rules of origin? To apply certain commercial policy measures To apply the correct duty rate To collect statistics 3

4 Two kinds of origin Non-preferential origin – Application of commercial defense measures anti-dumping and countervailing duties, safeguards, origin marking, quantitative restrictions and tariff quotas, government procurement, trade statistics Preferential origin – Application of preferential treatment (lower duties) Provided for in FTAs Determine whether goods qualify for duty preference Prevent trade deflection and transshipment 4

5 Duties on remanufactured goods Same as new goods – Application of normal RoO if the HS code is included in the FTA Specific HS code for remanufactured goods – Application of normal RoO if the HS code is included in the FTA Same as used goods – If national policy to have higher duties on used goods, these tariff lines might not be included in the FTA 5

6 Duties on import of cores RoO are important for the duty rate Prohibition of duty drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties – No refund, remission or non-payment, partial of complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect (e.g. inward processing) 6
