In some EU preferential trade arrangements, the rule for the seats (HS heading 94.01) requires:
“Manufacture [production] from [non-originating] materials of any heading, except that of the product (CTH)”
The manufacturer of the seats uses the following non-originating materials imported into the EU from outside the EU and the FTA partner country
- sawn wood (HS heading 44.07)
- fabrics (HS heading 52.08)
- foam/porolone (HS heading 39.03)
