TITLE I

DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF ORIGINATING PRODUCTS

Article 1

Origin criterion

For the purpose of implementing the provisions concerning tariff preferences granted by the Community to certain products originating in the Republics of Croatia and Slovenia and the Yugoslav Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia, hereinafter referred to as 'a beneficiary Republic', the following products shall be considered as:

(a) products originating in a beneficiary Republic:

(i) products wholly obtained in that beneficiary Republic;

(ii) products obtained in that beneficiary Republic, in the manufacture of which products other than those wholly obtained in that beneficiary Republic are used, provided that the said products have undergone sufficient working or processing within the meaning of Article 3. This condition shall not apply, however, to products which, within the meaning of this Regulation, originate in the Community, provided they undergo, in the beneficiary Republic concerned, working or processing which exceeds the insufficient working or processing listed in Article 3 (3);

(b) products originating in the Community:

(i) products wholly obtained in the Community;

(ii) products obtained in the Community, in the manufacture of which products other than those wholly obtained in the Community are used, provided that the said products have undergone sufficient working or processing within the meaning of Article 3. This condition shall not apply, however, to products which, within the meaning of this Regulation, originate in a beneficiary Republic, provided they undergo, in the Community, working and processing which exceeds the insufficient working or processing listed in Article 3 (3).

Article 2

Wholly obtained products

1. The following shall be considered as wholly obtained either in the beneficiary Republic concerned or in the Community:

(a) mineral products extracted from their soil or from their seabed;

(b) vegetable products harvested there;

(c) live animals born and raised there;

(d) products from live animals raised there;

(e) products obtained by hunting or fishing conducted there;

(f) products of sea fishing and other products taken from the sea by their vessels;

(g) products made aboard their factory ships exclusively from products referred to in subparagraph (f);

(h) used articles collected there fit only for the recovery of raw materials;

(i) waste and scrap resulting from manufacturing operations conducted there;

(j) goods produced there exclusively from the products specified in subparagraphs (a) to (i). 2. The term 'their vessels' in paragraph 1 (f) shall apply only to vessels:

- which are registered or recorded in a Member State or in the beneficiary Republic concerned,

- which sail under the flag of a Member State or of the beneficiary Republic concerned,

- which are owned to an extent of at least 50 % by nationals of the Member States and the beneficiary Republic or by a company with its head office in a Member State or in the beneficiary Republic of which the manager, managers, Chairman of the board of directors or of the supervisory board, and the majority of the members of such a board, are nationals of the Member States or the beneficiary Republic and of which, in addition in the case of partnerships or limited companies, at least half the capital belongs to the Member States or the beneficiary Republic or to public bodies or nationals of the Member States or of the beneficiary Republic,

- of which the captain and officers are all nationals of the Member States or of the beneficiary Republic concerned,

- of which at least 75 % of the crew are nationals of the Member States or of the beneficiary Republic concerned.

3. The terms 'the Community' and 'the beneficiary Republic' shall also cover their territorial waters. Sea-going vessels, including factory ships, on which the fish caught is worked or processed, shall be considered as part of the territory of the State or Republic to which they belong, provided that they satisfy the conditions set out in paragraph 2.

Article 3

Sufficiently processed products

1. For the purposes of Article 1, non-originating materials are considered to be sufficiently worked or processed when the product obtained is classified in a heading which is different from those in which all the non-originating materials used in its manufacture are classified, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3.

The expressions 'chapters' and 'headings' used in this Regulation shall mean the chapters and the headings (four-digit codes) used in the nomenclature which makes up the harmonized commodity description and coding system (hereinafter referred to as the 'harmonized system' or 'HS').

The expression 'classified' shall refer to the classification of a product or material under a particular heading.

2. For a product mentioned in columns 1 and 2 of the list in Annex II, the conditions set out in column 3 for the product concerned must be fulfilled instead of the rule in paragraph 1.

(a) Where in the list in Annex II a percentage rule is applied in determining the originating status of a product obtained in the Community or a beneficiary Republic, the value added by the working or processing shall correspond to the ex-works price of the product obtained, less the customs value of third-country materials imported into the territory concerned.

(b) The term 'value' in the list in Annex II shall mean the customs value at the time of the import of the non-originating materials used or, if this is not known and cannot be ascertained, the first ascertainable price paid for the materials in the territory concerned.

Where the value of the originating materials used needs to be established, the first subparagraph of (b) shall be applied mutatis mutandis.

(c) The term 'ex-works price' in the list in Annex II shall mean the price paid for the product obtained to the manufacturer in whose undertaking the last working or processing is carried out, provided the price includes the value of all the materials used in manufacture, minus any internal taxes which are, or may be, repaid when the product obtained is exported.

(d) 'Customs value' shall be understood as meaning the value determined in accordance with the Agreement on implementation of Article VII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, established in Geneva on 12 April 1979.

3. For the purpose of implementing paragraphs 1 and 2 the following shall be considered as insufficient working or processing to confer the status of originating products, whether or not there is a change of heading:

(a) operations to ensure the preservation of products in good condition during transport and storage (ventilation, spreading out, drying, chilling, placing in salt, sulphur dioxide or other aqueous solutions, removal of damaged parts, and like operations);

(b) simple operations consisting of removal of dust, sifting or screening, sorting, classifying, matching (including the making-up of sets of articles, washing, painting, cutting-up);

(c) (i) changes of packaging and breaking up and assembly of consignments;

(ii) simple placing in bottles, flasks, bags, cases, boxes, fixing on cards or boards etc., and all other simple packaging operations;

(d) affixing marks, labels and other like distinguishing signs on products or their packaging;

(e) simple mixing of products, whether or not of different kinds, where one or more components of the mixture do not meet the conditions laid down in this Regulation to enable them to be considered as originating either in the beneficiary Republic concerned or in the Community;

(f) simple assembly of parts of articles to constitute a complete article;

(g) a combination of two or more operations specified in subparagraphe (a) to (f);

(h) slaughter of animals.

Article 4

Neutral elements

In order to determine whether goods originate in a beneficiary Republic or in the Community it shall not be necessary to establish whether the electrical power, fuel, plant and equipment, and machines and tools used to obtain such goods or whether any materials or products used in the course of production which do not enter and which were not intended to enter into the final composition of the goods originate in third countries or not.

Article 5

Accessories, spare parts and tools

Accessories, spare parts and tools dispatched with a piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle which are part of the normal equipment and included in the price thereof or are not separately invoiced are regarded as one with the piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question.

Article 6

Sets

Sets, as defined in general rule 3 of the harmonized system, shall be regarded as originating when all component articles are originating products. Nevertheless, when a set is composed of originating and non-originating articles the set as a whole shall be regarded as originating provided that the value of the non-originating articles does not exceed 15 % of the ex-works price of the set.

Article 7

Direct transport

1. The preferential treatment applies only to originating products or materials which are transported between the territory of the Community and that of the beneficiary Republic concerned without entering any other territory. However, goods originating in the beneficiary Republic or in the Community and constituting one single consignment which is not split up may be transported through territory other than that of the Community and the beneficiary Republic concerned with, should the occasion arise, transhipment or temporary warehousing in such territory, provided that the goods have remained under the surveillance of the customs authorities in the country of transit or of warehousing and that they have not undergone operations other than unloading, reloading or any operation designed to preserve them in good condition.

2. Evidence that the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 have been fulfilled shall be supplied to the responsible customs authorities by the production of:

(a) a through bill of lading issued in the exporting country covering the passage through the country of transit; or

(b) a certificate issued by the customs authorities of the country of transit:

- giving an exact description of the goods,

- stating the dates of unloading and reloading of the goods or of their embarkation or disembarkation, identifying the ships used,

- certifying the conditions under which the goods remained in the transit country;

(c) or failing these, any substantiating documents.

Article 8

Territorial requirement

The conditions set out in this Title relative to the acquisition of originating status must be fulfilled without interruption in the Community or the beneficiary Republic concerned.

If originating goods exported from the Community or the beneficiary Republic to another country are returned, they must be considered as non-originating unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:

- the goods returned are the same goods as those exported, and

- they have not undergone any operation beyond that necessary to preserve them in good condition while in that country or while being exported.

TITLE II

PROOF OF ORIGIN

Article 9

Movement certificate EUR.1

Evidence of originating status of products, within the meaning of this Regulation, shall be given by a movement certificate EUR.1, a specimen of which appears in Annex III to this Regulation.

Article 10

Procedure for the issue of certificates

1. A movement certificate EUR.1 shall be issued only on application having been made in writing by the exporter or, under the exporter's responsiblity, his authorized representative. Such application shall be made on a form, a specimen of which appears in Annex III, which shall be completed in accordance with this Regulation.

Applications for movement certificates EUR.1 must be preserved for at least two years by the customs authorities of the exporting Member State or beneficiary Republic.

2. The exporter or his representative shall submit with his request any appropriate supporting document proving that the products to be exported are such as to qualify for the issue of a movement certificate EUR.1.

He shall undertake to submit, at the request of the appropriate authorities, any supplementary evidence they may require for the purpose of establishing the correctness of the originating status of the products eligible for preferential treatment and shall undertake to agree to any inspection of his accounts and to any check on the processes of the obtaining of the above products carried out by the said authorities.

Exporters must keep for at least two years the supporting documents referred to in this paragraph.

3. A movement certificate EUR.1 may be issued only where it can serve as the documentary evidence required for the purpose of implementing the tariff preferences.

4. The movement certificate EUR.1 shall be issued by the customs authorities of the exporting Member State or beneficiary Republic, if the goods can be considered originating products within the meaning of this Regulation.

5. In cases where the goods are considered originating products within the meaning of Article 1 (a) (ii), last sentence, or (b) (ii), last sentence, the movement certificates EUR.1 shall be issued subject to the presentation of the proof of origin previously issued or made out. This proof of origin must be kept for at least two years by the customs authorities of the exporting Member State of beneficiary Republic.

6. Since the movement certificate EUR.1 constitutes the documentary evidence for the application of the tariff preferences, it shall be the responsibility of the customs authorities of the exporting Member State or beneficiary Republic to take any steps necessary to verify the origin of the goods and to check the other statements on the certificate.

7. For the purpose of verifying whether the conditions stated in paragraphs 4 and 5 have been met, the customs authorities of the exporting Member State or beneficiary Republic shall have the right to call for any documentary evidence or to carry out any check which they consider appropriate.

8. It shall be the responsibility of the customs authorities of the exporting Member State or beneficiary Republic to ensure that the forms referred to in Article 9 are duly completed.

11. In the case of the Republics of Bosnia-Hercegovina and Macedonia, references to 'the customs authorities' in this and following Articles shall be understood to refer to the Chambers of Economy, as long as the Chambers of Economy in those Republics carry out the functions concerned.

Article 11

Issue of EUR.1 retrospectively

1. In exceptional circumstances a movement certificate EUR.1 may also be issued after exportation of the products to which it relates if it was not issued at the time of exportation because of errors or involuntary omissions or special circumstances. In this case the certificate shall bear a special reference to the conditions under which it was issued.

2. For the implementation of paragraph 1, the exporter must in the application:

- indicate the place and date of export of the products to which the certificate relates,

- certify that no movement certificate EUR.1 was issued at the time of export of the products in question, and state the reasons.

3. The customs authorities may issue a movement certificate EUR.1 retrospectively only after verifying that the information supplied in the exporter's application agrees with that in the corresponding file.

2. A movement certificate EUR.1 which is submitted to the customs authorities of the importing Member State or beneficiary Republic after the final date of presentation specified in paragraph 1 may be accepted for the purpose of applying preferential treatment, where the failure to submit the certificate by the final date set is due to reasons of force majeure or exceptional circumstances.

1. Products sent from a beneficiary Republic for exhibition in another country and sold after the exhibition for importation into the Community, and products sent from the Community for exhibition in another country and sold after the exhibition for importation into a beneficiary Republic, shall benefit from the tariff preferences or from the cumulation arrangements, on condition that the goods meet the requirements of this Regulation entitling them to be recognized as originating in the Community or in the beneficiary Republic concerned and provided that it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:

(b) the products have been sold or otherwise disposed of by that exporter to someone in the beneficiary Republic or in the Community;

(c) the products have been consigned during the exhibition or immediately thereafter to the beneficiary Republic or to the Community in the state in which there were sent for exhibition;

TITLE III

METHODS OF ADMINISTRATIVE COOPERATION

Article 22

Communication of stamps

The beneficiary Republics shall send to the Commission specimens of the stamps used together with the addresses of the customs authorities competent to issue movement certificates EUR.1 and carry out the subsequent verification of these certificates. The Commission shall forward this information to the customs authorities of the Member States.

Movement certificates EUR.1 shall be accepted for the purpose of applying preferential treatment from the date on which the information is received by the Commission.

Movement certificates EUR.1 presented to the customs authorities of the importing Member State before this date be accepted in conformity with the Community legislation.

Article 23

Verification of movement certificates EUR.1 and of forms EUR.2

1. Subsequent verifications of EUR.1 certificates and of forms EUR.2 shall be carried out at random or whenever the customs authorities of the importing Member State or beneficiary Republic have reasonable doubts as to the authenticity of the document or the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the goods in question.

2. In order to ensure the proper application of this Regulation, the beneficiary Republics and the Member States of the Community shall assist each other, through their respective customs administrations in checking the authenticity of movement certificates EUR.1 and forms EUR.2 and the accuracy of the information concerning the actual origin of the products concerned.

3. For the purposes of implementing the provisions of paragraph 1, the customs authorities of the importing Member State or beneficiary Republic shall return the EUR.1 certificate or form EUR.2 or a photocopy thereof to the customs authorities of the exporting country, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of substance or form for an inquiry.

The relevant commercial documents or a copy thereof shall be attached to the certificate EUR.1 or form EUR.2 and the customs authorities shall forward, in support of the request for verification, any documents and information that have been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or the said form are inaccurate.

If the customs authorities of the importing Member State decide to suspend the tariff preferences specified in Article 1 while awaiting the results of the verification, they shall offer to release the goods to the importer subject to any precautionary measures judged necessary.

4. The customs authorities of the importing Member State shall be informed of the results of the verification within a maximum of six months. These results must be such as to make it possible to determine whether the documents returned pursuant to paragraph 3 apply to the products actually exported, and whether these products were, in fact, eligible to benefit from the tariff preferences.

If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within six months of the date of the verification request, or if the reply does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document in question or the real origin of the products, the requesting authorities shall refuse, except in the case of force majeure or exceptional circumstances, any benefit from the preferential treatment.

5. For the purpose of the subsequent verification of EUR.1 certificates, the customs authorities of the exporting country must keep copies of the certificates, as well as any export documents referring to them, for at least two years.

ANNEX I

NOTES Foreword

These notes shall apply, where appropriate, to all products manufactured using non-originating materials, even if they are not subject to specific conditions contained in the list in Annex II but are subject instead to the change of heading rule set out in Article 3 (1).

Note 1

1.1. The list in Annex II contains some products which do not benefit from tariff preferences but which may be used in the manufacture of products which do benefit.

1.2. The first two columns in the list describe the product obtained. The first column gives the heading number or chapter number used in the harmonized system and the second column gives the description of goods used in that system for that heading or chapter. For each entry in the first two columns a rule is specified in column 3. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an 'ex', this signifies that the rule in column 3 applies only to the part of that heading or chapter as described in column 2.

1.3. Where several heading numbers are grouped together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and the description of products in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rule in column 3 applies to all products which, under the harmonized system, are classified in headings of the chapter or in any of the headings grouped together in column 1.

1.4. Where there are different rules in the list applying to different products within a heading, each indent contains the description of that part of the heading covered by the adjacent rule in column 3.

Note 2

2.1. The term 'manufacture' covers any kind of working or processing including 'assembly' or specific operations. However, see Note 3.5 below.

2.2. The term 'material' covers any ingredient, raw material, component or part, etc., used in the manufacture of the product.

2.3. The term 'product' refers to the product being manufactured, even if it is intended for later use in another manufacturing operation.

2.4. The term 'goods' covers both materials and products.

Note 3

3.1. In the case of any heading not in the list or any part of a heading that is not in the list, the 'change of heading' rule set out in Article 3 (1) applies. If a 'change of heading' condition applies to any entry in the list, then it is contained in the rule in column 3.

3.2. The working or processing required by a rule in column 3 has to be carried out only in relation to the non-originating materials used. The restrictions contained in a rule in column 3 likewise apply only to the non-originating materials used.

3.3. Where a rule states that 'materials of any heading' may be used, materials of the same heading as the product may also be used, subject, however, to any specific limitations which may also be contained in the rule. However, the expression 'manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of heading No . . .' means that only materials classified in the same heading as the product of a different description than that of the product as given in column 2 of the list may be used.

3.4. If a product made from non-originating materials which has acquired originating status during manufacture by virture of the change of heading rule or its own list rule is used as a material in the process of manufacture of another product, then the rule applicable to the product in which it is incorporated does not apply to it.

For example:

An engine of heading No 8407, for which the rule states that the value of the non-originating materials which may be incorporated may not exceed 40 % of the ex-works price, is made from 'other alloy steel roughly shaped by forging' of heading No 7224.

If this forging has been forged in the country concerned from a non-originating ingot then the forging has already acquired origin by virtue of the rule for heading No ex 7224 in the list. It can then count as originating in the value calculation for the engine regardless of whether it was produced in the same factory or another. The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of the non-originating materials used.

3.5. Even if the change of heading rule or the other rules contained in the list are satisfied, a product shall not acquire originating status if the processing carried out, taken as a whole, is insufficient within the meaning of Article 3 (3).

3.6. The unit of qualification for the application of the origin rules shall be the particular product which is considered as the basic unit when determining classification using the nomenclature of the harmonized system. In the case of sets of products which are classified by virtue of general rule 3 for the interpretation of the harmonized system, the unit of qualification shall be determined in respect of each item in the set: this provision is equally applicable to sets of headings No 6308, No 8206 and No 9605.

Accordingly, it follows that:

- when a product composed of a group or assembly of articles is classified under the terms of the harmonized system in a single heading, the whole constitutes the unit of qualification,

- when a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified under the same heading of the harmonized system, each product must be taken individually when applying the origin rules,

- where, under general rule 5 of the harmonized system, packing is included with the product for classification purposes, it shall be included for the purposes of determining origin.

Note 4

4.1. The rule in the list represents the minimum amount of working or processing required and the carrying out of more working or processing also confers originating status; conversely, the carrying out of less working or processing cannot confer origin. Thus if a rule says that non-originating material at a certain level of manufacture may be used, the use of such material at an earlier stage of manufacture is allowed and the use of such material at a later stage is not.

4.2. When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that any one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used.

For example:

The rule for fabrics says that natural fibres may be used and that chemical materials, among other materials, may also be used. This does not mean that both have to be used; one can use one or the other or both.

If, however, a restriction applies to one material and other restrictions apply to other materials in the same rule, then the restrictions only apply to the materials actually used.

For example:

The rule for sewing machines specifies that both the thread tension mechanism used and the zigzag mechanism used must originate; these two restrictions only apply if the mechanisms concerned are actually incorporated into the sewing machine.

4.3. When a rule in the list specifies that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the condition obviously does not prevent the use of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy the rule.

For example:

The rule for heading No 1904 which specifically excludes the use of cereals or their derivatives does not prevent the use of mineral salts, chemicals and other additives which are not produced from cereals.

For example:

In the case of an article made from non-woven materials, if the use of only non-originating yarn is allowed for this class of article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth - even if non-woven cloths cannot normally be made from yarn. In such cases, the starting material would normally be at the stage before yarn - that is the fibre stage.

See also Note 7.3 in relation to textiles.

4.4. If in a rule in the list two or more percentages are given for the maximum value of non-originating materials that can be used, then these percentages may not be added together. The maximum value of all the non-originating materials used may never exceed the highest of the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual percentages must not be exceeded in relation to the particular materials they apply to.

Note 5

5.1. The term 'natural fibres' is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres and is restricted to the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, the term 'natural fibres' includes fibres that have been carded, combed or otherwise processed but not spun.

5.2. The term 'natural fibres' includes horsehair of heading No 0503, silk of heading No 5002 and No 5003 as well as the wool fibres, fine or coarse animal hair of heading No 5101 to No 5105, the cotton fibres of heading No 5201 to No 5203 and the other vegetable fibres of heading No 5301 to No 5305.

5.3. The terms 'textile pulp', 'chemical materials' and 'paper-making materials' are used in the list to describe the materials not classified in Chapters 50 to 63, which can be used to manufacture artificial, synthetic or paper fibres or yarns.

5.4. The term 'man-made staple fibres' is used in the list to refer to synthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of headings No 5501 to No 5507.

Note 6

6.1. In the case of the products classified within those headings in the list to which a reference is made to this Note, the conditions set out in column 3 of the list shall not be applied to any basic textile materials used in their manufacture which, taken together, represent 10 % or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used (but see also Notes 6.3 and 6.4 below).

6.2. However, this tolerance may only be applied to mixed products which have been made from two or more basic textile materials.

The following are the basic textile materials:

- silk,

- wool,

- coarse animal hair,

- fine animal hair,

- horsehair,

- cotton,

- paper-making materials and paper,

- flax,

- true hemp,

- jute and other textile bast fibres,

- sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave,

- coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres,

- synthetic man-made filaments,

- artificial man-made filaments,

- synthetic man-made staple fibres,

- artificial man-made staple fibres.

For example:

A yarn of heading No 5205 made from cotton fibres of heading No 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading No 5506 is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating synthetic staple fibres that do not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used up to a weight of 10 % of the yarn.

For example:

A woollen fabric of heading No 5112 made from woollen yarn of heading No 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading No 5509 is a mixed fabric. Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) or woollen yarn that does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, not carded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination of the two may be used up to a weight of 10 % of the fabric.

For example:

Tufted textile fabric of heading No 5802 made from cotton yarn of heading No 5205 and cotton fabric of heading No 5210 is only a mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric being made from yarns classified in two separate headings or if the cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures.

For example:

If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading No 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading No 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is accordingly a mixed product.

For example:

A carpet with tufts made from both artificial yarns and cotton yarns and with a jute backing is a mixed product because three basic textile materials are used. Thus, any non-originating materials that are at a later stage of manufacture than the rule allows may be used, provided their total weight taken together does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the textile materials in the carpet. Thus, both the jute backing and/or the artificial yarns could be imported at that stage of manufacture, provided the weight conditions are met.

6.3. In the case of fabrics incorporating 'yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether whether or not gimped' this tolerance is 20 % in respect of this yarn.

6.4. In the case of fabrics incorporating strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of an adhesive between two films of plastic film, this tolerance is 30 % in respect of this strip.

Note 7

7.1. In the case of those textile products which are marked in the list by a footnote referring to this note, textile materials, with the exception of linings and interlinings which do not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column 3 for the made up products concerned may be used provided that they are classified in a heading other than that of the product and that their value does not exceed 8 % of the ex works price of the product.

7.2. Any non-textile trimmings and accessories or other materials used which contain textiles do not have to satisfy the conditions set out in column 3 even though they fall outside the scope of Note 4.3.

7.3. In accordance with Note 4.3, any non-originating non-textile trimmings and accessories or other product, which do not contain any textiles, may, anyway, be used freely where they cannot be made from the materials listed in column 3.

For example:

If a rule in the list says that for a particular textile item, such as a blouse, yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because they cannot be made from textile materials.

7.4. Where a percentage rule applies, the value of trimmings and accessories must be taken into account when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated.
