Commission Regulation (EEC) No 809/88 of 14 March 1988 on the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation applicable to imports into the Community of products originating in the Occupied Territories

Official Journal L 086 , 30/03/1988 P. 0001 - 0051


COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 809/88 of 14 March 1988 on the definition of the concept of ´originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation applicable to imports into the Community of products originating in the Occupied Territories

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3363/86 of 27 October 1986 on the tariff arrangements applicable to imports into the Community of products originating in the Occupied Territories (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof, Whereas, as regards all the products referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 3363/86, the origin rules are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4129/86 of 23 December 1986 on the definition of the concept of ´originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation applicable to imports into the Community of products originating in the Occupied Territories (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1302/87 (3);

whereas these rules are based on the use of the Customs Cooperation Council Nomenclature;

whereas the Customs Cooperation Council has approved the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (hereinafter referred to as the ´HS') on 14 June 1983;

whereas as from 1 January 1988 the HS replaces the earlier nomenclature for the purposes of international trade;

whereas it is therefore necessary to adapt the rules of origin contained in Regulation (EEC) No 4129/86 so that they be based on the HS;

Whereas in the light of experience, the presentation of the origin rules could be improved by grouping all the exceptions to the basic change of heading rule into one list and by providing detailed guidance on how this should be interpreted;

Whereas it is necessary to provide for transitional measures to allow the Occupied Territories, if they do not apply the HS, to continue to apply the rules of origin contained in Regulation (EEC) No 4129/86 for a period of two years;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Origin, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

TITLE 1 Definition of the concept of ´originating products' Article 1 1. For the purpose of implementing the provisions concerning tariff preferences granted by the Community to certain products originating in the Occupied Territories, the following shall be considered as products originating in these territories, provided that these products have been transported directly, within the meaning of Article 5, to the Community:

(a) products wholly obtained in these territories;

(b)products obtained in these territories in the manufacture of which products other than those referred to in (a) are used, provided that the said products have undergone sufficient working or processing within the meaning of Article 3 (2). 2. The provisions of paragraph 1 and of Articles 2 to 4 shall not apply to the products in Annex II.

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

2. For the purposes of Article 1 (1) (b), non-originating materials are considered to be sufficiently worked or processed when the product obtained is classified within a heading which is different from those within which all the non-originating materials used in its manufacture are classified, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 below.

3. For a product mentioned in columns 1 and 2 of the list in Annex III, the conditions set out in column 3 for the product concerned must be fulfilled instead of the rule in paragraph 2. 4. For the pupose of implementing Article 1 (1) (b), the following shall in any event be considered as insufficient working or processing to confer the status of originating products, irrespective of 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 packing 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 packing operations;

(d)the affixing of marks, labels or 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 products;

(f)simple assembly of parts of products to constitute a complete product;

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

(h)slaughter of animals.

Article 4 1. The term ´value' in the list in Annex III 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 shall be applied mutatis mutandis.

2. The term ´ex-works price' in the list in Annex III shall mean the ex-works price of the product obtained minus any internal taxes which are, or may be, repaid when the product obtained is exported.

Article 5 1. The following shall be considered as transported direct from the Occupied Territories to the Community:

(a) products transported without passing through another territory;

(b)products transported through the territories other than the Occupied Territories, with or without transhipment or temporary warehousing provided that transport through those territories is justified for geographical reasons or exclusively on account of transport requirements and that the products have not been delivered for home use there, and have not undergone operations other than unloading, reloading and any operation intended to keep them in good condition.

The term ´Occupied Territories' shall cover the west bank of the River Jordan and the Gaza Strip both occupied by Israel.

Note 2 - Article 1:

The conditions set out in Article 1 relative to the acquisition of originating status must be fulfilled without interruption in the Occupied Territories.

If originating products exported from the Occupied Territories to another country are returned, they must be considered as non-originating unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the governmental authorities that:

- the goods returned are the same goods as those exported, and-they have not undergone any operations beyond that necessary to preserve them in good condition while in that country.

Note 3 - Article 1:

In order to determine whether goods originate in the Occupied Territories, it shall not be necessary to establish whether the electrical power, fuel, plant and equipment and machines and tools used to obtain finished goods or whether any 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.

Note 4 - Articles 2 and 3:

1. 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, the unit of qualification shall be determined in respect of each item in the set;

this also applies to the sets of heading Nos 6308, 8206 and 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 within a single heading, the whole constitutes the unit of qualification,-when a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified within the same heading of the harmonized system, each product must be taken individually when applying the origin rules.

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

Note 5 - Article 3 (2):

The introductory notes to Annex III shall also apply where appropriate to all products manufactured using non-originating materials even if they are not subject to a specific condition contained in the list in Annex III but are subject instead to the change of heading rule set out in Article 3 (2). Note 6 - Article 4:

´Ex-works price' means the price paid to the manufacturer in whose undertaking the last working or processing is carried out, provided the price includes the value of all the products used in manufacture.

´Customs value' shall be understood as meaning the customs value as determined in accordance with the Agreement on implementation of Article VII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade done at Geneva on 12 April 1979. ANNEX II List of products referred to in Article 1 which are temporarily excluded from the scope of this Regulation HS heading No Description of product ex 2707 Oils in which the weight of the aromatic constituents exceeds that of the non-aromatic constituents, being oils similar to mineral oils obtained by distillation of high temperature coal tar, of which more than 65 % by volume distils at a temperature of up to 250 °C (including mixtures of petroleum spirit and benzole), for use as power or heating fuels ex 2709to2715 Mineral oils and products of their distillation;

bituminous substances;

mineral waxes ex 2901 Acyclic hydrocarbons for use as power or heating fuels ex 2902 Cyclanes and cyclenes (other than azulenes), benzene, toluene, xylenes, for use as power or heating fuels ex 3403 Lubricating preparations containing petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals, provided they represent less than 70 % by weight ex 3404 Artificial waxes and prepared waxes with a basis of paraffin, petroleum waxes, waxes obtained from bituminous minerals, slack wax or scale wax ex 3811 Prepared additives for lubricating oil, containing petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals ANNEX III List of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order that the product manufactured can obtain originating status INTRODUCTORY NOTES General Note 1:

1.1. The list 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 the 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 only applies 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 product 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 within 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 3.4 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.

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 (2) 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 within 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 virtue 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 list 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 rule contained in the list are satisfied, a product does not have origin if the processing carried out, taken as a whole, is insufficient in the sense of Article 3 (5). 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 of the 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 the thread tension mechanism used has to originate and that the zig-zag mechanism used also has to 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-wovens canot be made from yarn.

In such cases, the starting material would anyway be at the stage before yarn - that is the fibre stage.

See also note 7.3 in relation to textiles.

4.4If 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.

Textiles 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 Nos 5002 and 5003 as well as the wool fibres, fine or coarse animal hair of heading Nos 5101 to 5105, the cotton fibres of heading Nos 5201 to 5203 and the other vegetable fibres of heading Nos 5301 to 5305. 5.3.The terms ´textile pulp', ´chemical materials' and ´paper-making materials' are used in the list to describe the non-textile materials (these are not classified within 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 heading Nos 5501 to 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 introductory note, the conditions set out in column 3 of the list shall not be applied to any textile materials used in their manufacture which, taken together, represent 10 % or less of the total weight of all the 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 the use of non-originating chemical materials) 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, non-originating synthetic yarn that does not satisfy the origin rules (which require the use of non-originating man-made staple fibres not carded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) 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 within 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.

-For example:

A carpet with tufts made both from 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 carpet.

Thus, both the jute backing and/or the artificial yarns could be imported at the 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 exception 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 a adhesive between two films of plastic film, this exception 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 introductory note, textile trimmings and accessories which do not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column 3 for the made up product concerned may be used provided that their weight does not exceed 10 % of the total weight of all the textile materials incorporated.

Textile trimmings and accessories are those classified within Chapters 50 to 63. Linings and interlinings are not to be regarded as trimmings or accessories.

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 canot 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.
