3.  The conditions of paragraph 2 can be fulfilled in the different countries mentioned in Article 3 under conditions referred to in this Article.

Article 5

Sufficiently worked or processed products

1.  For the purposes of Article 2, products which are not wholly obtained are considered to be sufficiently worked or processed when the conditions set out in the list in Appendix 2 are fulfilled.

The conditions referred to above indicate, for all products covered by the Agreement, the working or processing which shall be carried out on non-originating materials used in manufacturing and apply only in relation to such materials. It follows that if a product which has acquired originating status by fulfilling the conditions set out in the list is used in the manufacture of another product, the conditions applicable to the product in which it is incorporated do not apply to it, and no account shall be taken of the non-originating materials which may have been used in its manufacture.

2.  Notwithstanding paragraph 1, non-originating materials which, according to the conditions set out in the list, shall not be used in the manufacture of a product may nevertheless be used, provided that:

(a) 

their total value does not exceed 10 per cent of the ex-works price of the product;

(b) 

any of the percentages given in the list for the maximum value of non-originating materials are not exceeded through the application of this paragraph.

This paragraph shall not apply to products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System for which Appendix 1 shall apply. Additionally, this paragraph shall not apply to products wholly obtained in the Parties. However, without prejudice to Article 7, the tolerance provided for in this paragraph applies also to the materials which are used in the manufacture of a product and for which the rule laid down in the list in Appendix 2 for that product requires that such materials be wholly obtained.

3.  Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply subject to the provisions of Article 6.

Article 6

Insufficient working or processing

1.  Without prejudice to paragraph 2, the following operations shall be considered as insufficient working or processing to confer the status of originating products, whether or not the requirements of Article 5 are satisfied:

(a) 

preserving operations to ensure that the products remain in good condition during transport and storage;

(b) 

breaking-up and assembly of packages;

(c) 

washing, cleaning; removal of dust, oxide, oil, paint or other coverings;

(d) 

ironing or pressing of textiles;

(e)

peeling, stoning and shelling, of fruits, nuts and vegetables;

(i) 

sharpening, simple grinding or simple cutting;

(j) 

sifting, screening, sorting, classifying, grading, matching (including the making-up of sets of articles);

(k) 

simple placing in bottles, cans, flasks, bags, cases, boxes, fixing on cards or boards and all other simple packaging operations;

(l) 

affixing or printing marks, labels, logos and other like distinguishing signs on products or their packaging;

(o) 

slaughter of animals;

(p) 

a combination of two or more operations specified in (a) to (o).

2.  All operations carried out in the European Union or in Central America on a given product shall be considered together when determining whether the working or processing undergone by that product is to be regarded as insufficient within the meaning of paragraph 1.

Article 7

Unit of Qualification

1.  The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this Annex shall be the particular product which is considered as the basic unit when determining classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonized System.

It follows that:

(a) 

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;

(b) 

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 provisions of this Annex.

2.  Where, under General Rule 5 of the Harmonized System, packaging is included with the product for classification purposes, it shall be included for the purposes of determining origin.

Article 8

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 which are not separately invoiced, shall be regarded as one with the piece of equipment, machine, apparatus or vehicle in question.

Article 9

Sets

Sets, as defined in General Rule 3 of the Harmonized System, shall be regarded as originating when all component products are originating. Nevertheless, when a set is composed of originating and non-originating products, the set as a whole shall be regarded as originating, provided that the value of the non-originating products does not exceed 15 per cent of the ex-works price of the set.

Article 10

(d) 

goods which do not enter and which are not intended to enter into the final composition of the product.

TITLE III

TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS

Article 11

Principle of territoriality

1.  The conditions set out in Title II of this Annex, relating to the acquisition of originating status must be fulfilled without interruption in the European Union or Central America.

(a) 

the returning goods are the same as those exported; and

(b) 

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

3.  The acquisition of originating status in accordance with the conditions set out in Title II of this Annex shall not be affected by working or processing done outside the Parties on materials exported from the European Union or from Central America and subsequently re-imported there, provided that:

(a) 

said materials are wholly obtained in the European Union or in Central America or have undergone working or processing beyond the operations referred to in Article 6 prior to being exported; and

the total added value acquired outside the Parties by applying the provisions of this Article does not exceed 10 per cent of the ex-works price of the end product for which originating status is claimed.

4.  For the purposes of paragraph 3, the conditions for acquiring originating status set out in Title II of this Annex shall not apply to working or processing done outside the Parties. But where, in the list in Appendix 2, a rule setting a maximum value for all the non-originating materials incorporated is applied in determining the originating status of the end product, the total value of the non-originating materials incorporated in the territory of the Party concerned, taken together with the total added value acquired outside the Parties by applying the provisions of this Article, shall not exceed the stated percentage.

5.  For the purposes of applying the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, "total added value" shall mean all costs arising outside the Parties, including the value of the materials incorporated there.

6.  The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products which do not fulfil the conditions set out in the list in Appendix 2 or which can be considered sufficiently worked or processed only if the general tolerance fixed in Article 5, paragraph 2 is applied.

7.  The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not apply to products of Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System.

8.  Any working or processing of the kind covered by the provisions of this Article and done outside the Parties shall be done under the outward processing arrangements, or similar arrangements.

Article 12

However, products may be transported through other territories with, should the occasion arise, trans-shipment or temporary warehousing in such territories, provided that they remain under the surveillance of the customs authorities in the country of transit or warehousing and do not undergo operations other than unloading, reloading or any operation designed to preserve them in good condition.

Originating products may be transported by pipeline across territories other than those of the Parties.

2.  Evidence that the conditions set out in paragraph 1 have been fulfilled shall be supplied to the customs authorities of the importing Party by the production of:

(a) 

a single transport document covering the passage from the exporting Party through the country of transit; or

(b) 

certification issued by the customs authorities of the country of transit containing the following:

(i) 

an exact description of the products,

(ii) 

the dates of unloading and reloading of the products and, where applicable, the names of the ships, or the other means of transport used, and

(iii) 

the conditions under which the products remained in the transit country; or

(c) 

failing these, any substantiating documents to the satisfaction of the customs authority of the importing Party.

Article 13

Exhibitions

1.  Originating products, sent for exhibition in a country other than the Parties and sold after the exhibition for importation into the territory of a Party shall benefit on importation from the provisions of this Agreement provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:

(a) 

an exporter has consigned these products from the European Union or from a Republic of the CA Party to the country in which the exhibition is held and has exhibited them there;

(b) 

the products have been sold or otherwise disposed of by that exporter to a person in the territory of a Party;

(c) 

the products have been consigned during the exhibition or immediately thereafter in the state in which they were sent for exhibition; and

(d)

2.  A proof of origin must be issued or made out in accordance with the provisions of Title IV of this Annex and submitted to the customs authorities of the importing Party in the normal manner. The name and address of the exhibition must be indicated thereon. Where necessary, additional documentary evidence of the conditions under which they have been exhibited may be required.

3.  Paragraph 1 shall apply to any trade, industrial, agricultural or crafts exhibition, fair or similar public show or display which is not organised for private purposes in shops or business premises with a view to the sale of foreign products, and during which the products remain under customs control.

TITLE IV

3.  The endorsement referred to in paragraph 2 shall be inserted in the "Remarks" box of the duplicate movement certificate EUR.1.

4.  The duplicate, which must bear the date of issue of the original movement certificate EUR.1, shall take effect as from that date.

Article 18

Issue of movement certificates EUR.1 on the basis of a proof of origin issued or made out previously

When originating products are placed under the control of a customs office in a Party, it shall be possible to replace the original proof of origin by one or more movement certificates EUR.1 for the purpose of sending all or some of these products elsewhere within the European Union or Central America. The replacement movement certificate(s) EUR.1 shall be issued by the customs office in the EU Party under whose control the products are placed or by the respective competent public authority of the Republics of the CA Party.

Article 19

Conditions for making out an invoice declaration

1.  An invoice declaration as referred to in Article 14, paragraph 1(b) may be made out:

(a) 

by an approved exporter within the meaning of Article 20; or

(b) 

by any exporter for any consignment consisting of one or more packages containing originating products whose total value does not exceed the amount in Euros established in Appendix 6 (Amounts referred to in Articles 19, paragraph 1(b) and 24, paragraph 3 of Annex II, concerning the Definition of the Concept of "Originating Products" and Methods of Administrative Cooperation).

2.  An invoice declaration may be made out if the products concerned can be considered as products originating in the European Union or in Central America and fulfil the other requirements of this Annex.

3.  The exporter making out an invoice declaration shall be prepared to submit at any time, at the request of the competent public authorities of the exporting Party, all appropriate documents proving the originating status of the products concerned as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Annex.

4.  An invoice declaration shall be made out by the exporter by typing, stamping or printing on the invoice, the delivery note or another commercial document, the text of the declaration included in Appendix 4, by using one of the linguistic versions set out in that Appendix and in accordance with the provisions of the domestic legislation of the exporting Party. If the declaration is hand-written, it shall be written in ink in printed characters.

5.  Invoice declarations shall bear the original signature of the exporter in manuscript. However, an approved exporter within the meaning of Article 20 shall not be required to sign such declarations provided that he gives the competent public authorities of the exporting Party a written undertaking that he accepts full responsibility for any invoice declaration which identifies him as if it had been signed in manuscript by him.

6.  An invoice declaration may be made out by the exporter when the products to which it relates are exported, or after exportation on condition that it is presented in the importing Party no longer than the period established in Appendix 5.

Article 20

Approved exporter

1.  The competent public authorities of the exporting Party may authorise any exporter, hereinafter referred to as "approved exporter", who makes frequent shipments of products under this Agreement to make out invoice declarations irrespective of the value of the products concerned. An exporter seeking such authorisation must offer to the satisfaction of the competent public authorities all guarantees necessary to verify the originating status of the products as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Annex.

2.  The competent public authorities may grant the status of approved exporter subject to any conditions which they consider appropriate.

3.  The competent public authorities shall grant to the approved exporter an authorisation number which shall appear on the invoice declaration.

4.  The competent public authorities shall monitor the use of the authorisation by the approved exporter.

5.  The competent public authorities may withdraw the authorisation at any time. They shall do so where the approved exporter no longer offers the guarantees referred to in paragraph 1, no longer fulfils the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 or otherwise makes an incorrect use of the authorisation.

Article 21

Validity of proof of origin

1.  A proof of origin shall be valid for twelve months from the date of issue in the exporting Party, and shall be submitted within said period to the customs authorities of the importing Party.

2.  Proofs of origin which are submitted to the customs authorities of the importing Party after the final date for presentation specified in paragraph 1 may be accepted for the purpose of applying preferential tariff treatment, where the failure to submit these documents by the final date set is due to exceptional circumstances.

3.  In other cases of belated presentation, the customs authorities of the importing Party may accept the proofs of origin where the products have been submitted before said final date.

4.  According to the domestic legislation of the importing Party, a preferential tariff treatment may be awarded, when it proceeds, through the reimbursement of the tariffs in a period no longer than the period established in Appendix 5 from the date of acceptance of the import declaration, where a proof of origin is presented indicating that the imported goods were at that date eligible for preferential tariff treatment.

Article 22

Submission of proof of origin

Proofs of origin shall be submitted to the customs authorities of the importing Party in accordance with the procedures applicable in that Party. Said authorities may require a translation of a proof of origin and may also require the import declaration to be accompanied by a statement from the importer to the effect that the products meet the conditions required for the implementation of this Agreement.

Article 23

Importation by instalments

Where, at the request of the importer and on the conditions laid down by the customs authorities of the importing Party, dismantled or non-assembled products within the meaning of General Rule 2(a) of the Harmonized System falling within Sections XVI and XVII or headings 7308 and 9406 of the Harmonized System are imported by instalments, a single proof of origin for such products shall be submitted to the customs authorities upon importation of the first instalment.

Article 24

Exemptions from proof of origin

1.  Products sent as small packages from private persons to private persons or forming part of travellers' personal luggage shall be admitted as originating products without requiring the submission of a proof of origin, provided that such products are not imported by way of trade and have been declared as meeting the requirements of this Annex and where there is no doubt as to the veracity of such a declaration. In the case of products sent by post, this declaration can be made on the customs declaration CN22/CN23 or on a sheet of paper annexed to that document.

2.  Imports which are occasional and consist solely of products for the personal use of the recipients or travellers or their families shall not be considered as imports by way of trade if it is evident from the nature and quantity of the products that no commercial purpose is in view.

3.  Furthermore, the total value of these products shall not exceed in the case of small packages or of products forming part of travellers' personal luggage, the amounts in Euros established in Appendix 6 (Amounts referred to in Articles 19, paragraph 1(b) and 24, paragraph 3 of Annex II, concerning the Definition of the Concept of "Originating Products" and Methods of Administrative Cooperation).

Article 25

Supporting documents

The documents referred to in Articles 15, paragraph 3 and 19, paragraph 3 used for the purpose of proving that products covered by a movement certificate EUR.1 or an invoice declaration can be considered as products originating in the European Union or in Central America and fulfil the other requirements of this Annex may consist inter alia of the following:

(a) 

direct evidence of the processes carried out by the exporter or supplier to obtain the goods concerned, contained for example in his accounting records or internal book-keeping;

(b) 

documents proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in a Party, where these documents are used in accordance with domestic legislation;

(c) 

documents proving the working or processing of materials in the European Union or in Central America, issued or made out in a Party, where these documents are used in accordance with domestic legislation;

(d) 

movement certificates EUR.1 or invoice declarations proving the originating status of materials used, issued or made out in a Party in accordance with this Annex.

2.  The exporter making out an invoice declaration shall keep for at least three years a copy of this invoice declaration as well as the documents referred to in Article 19, paragraph 3.

3.  The competent public authority of the exporting Party issuing a movement certificate EUR.1 shall keep for at least three years the application form referred to in Article 15, paragraph 2.

4.  The customs authorities of the importing Party shall keep for at least three years the movement certificates EUR.1 and the invoice declarations submitted to them, which may be kept in electronic format.

Article 27

Discrepancies and formal errors

1.  The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the proof of origin and those made in the documents submitted to the customs office for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the products shall not ipso facto render the proof of origin null and void if it is duly established that this document does correspond to the products submitted.

2.  Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a proof of origin should not cause this document to be rejected if these errors are not such as to create doubts concerning the correctness of the statements made in this document.

Article 28

Amounts expressed in euro

1.  For the application of the provisions of Article 19, paragraph 1(b) and Article 24, paragraph 3 in cases where products are invoiced in a currency other than euro, amounts in the national currencies of the Member States of the European Union or of the Republics of the CA Party equivalent to the amounts expressed in euro shall be fixed annually by each Member State of the European Union or Republic of the CA Party concerned.

2.  A consignment shall benefit from the provisions of Article 19, paragraph 1(b) or Article 24, paragraph 3 by reference to the currency in which the invoice is drawn up, according to the amount fixed by the Member State of the European Union or Republic of the CA Party concerned.

3.  The amounts to be used in any given national currency shall be the equivalent in that currency of the amounts expressed in euro as at the first working day of October. The amounts shall be communicated to the European Commission by October 15th, and shall apply from January 1st, the following year. The European Commission shall notify the Member States of the European Union and the Republics of the CA Party concerned of the relevant amounts.

4.  The Member States of the European Union and the Republics of the CA Party may round up or down the amount resulting from the conversion into its national currency of an amount expressed in euro. The rounded-off amount may not differ from the amount resulting from the conversion by more than 5 per cent. A Member State of the European Union or a Republic of the CA Party may retain unchanged its national currency equivalent of an amount expressed in euro if, at the time of the annual adjustment provided for in paragraph 3, the conversion of that amount, prior to any rounding-off, results in an increase of less than 15 per cent in the national currency equivalent. The national currency equivalent may be retained unchanged if the conversion would result in a decrease in that equivalent value.

5.  The amounts expressed in euro shall be reviewed by the Association Committee at the request of a Party. When carrying out this review, the Association Committee shall consider the desirability of preserving the effects of the limits concerned in real terms. For this purpose, it may decide to modify the amounts expressed in euro.

TITLE V

ARRANGEMENTS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COOPERATION

Article 29

2.  In order to ensure the proper application of this Annex, the Parties shall assist each other, through their respective competent public authorities or, when applicable, customs authorities in checking the authenticity of the movement certificates EUR.1 or the invoice declarations and the correctness of the information given in these documents.

Article 30

Verification of proofs of origin

1.  Subsequent verifications of proofs of origin shall be carried out at random or whenever the customs authority or, when applicable, competent public authority of the importing Party have reasonable doubts as to the authenticity of such documents, the originating status of the products concerned or the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Annex.

2.  For the purposes of implementing the provisions of paragraph 1, the customs authority or, when applicable, competent public authority of the importing Party shall return the movement certificate EUR.1 and the invoice, if it has been submitted, the invoice declaration, or a copy of these documents, to the competent public authorities of the exporting Party giving, where appropriate, the reasons for the enquiry. Any documents and information obtained suggesting that the information given on the proof of origin is incorrect shall be forwarded in support of the request for verification.

3.  The verification shall be carried out by the competent public authorities of the exporting Party. For this purpose, they shall have the right to call for any evidence and to carry out any inspection of the exporter's accounting records or any other check considered appropriate related to origin and according the procedures of its domestic legislation.

4.  If the customs authorities of the importing Party decide to suspend the granting of preferential tariff treatment to the products from the exporter subject to verification, while awaiting the results of the verification, release of the products shall be offered to the importer subject to any precautionary measures judged necessary.

5.  The competent public authorities or, when applicable, customs authorities requesting the verification shall be informed of the results of this verification as soon as possible. These results must indicate clearly whether the documents are authentic and whether the products concerned can be considered as products originating in the European Union or in Central America and fulfil the other requirements of this Annex.

6.  If in cases of reasonable doubt there is no reply within ten 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 customs authorities or, when applicable, competent public authority shall, except in exceptional circumstances, refuse entitlement to the preferences to the products covered by the proof of origin subject to verification.

Article 31

Dispute settlement

1.  Where disputes arise in relation to the verification procedures of Article 30, which cannot be settled between the authorities requesting verification and the authorities responsible for carrying out this verification, or in relation to the interpretation of this Annex, the requests for the settlement of those disputes shall be submitted to the Sub-Committee on Customs, Trade Facilitation and Rules of Origin for consultations and discussions within the Sub-Committee. In any case, the Parties shall retain their rights under the dispute settlement mechanism established in Title X (Dispute Settlement) of Part IV of this Agreement.

2.  In all cases the settlement of disputes between the importer and the customs authorities of the importing Party shall be under the domestic legislation of said Party.

Article 32

Penalties

Penalties shall be imposed on any person who draws up, or causes to be drawn up, a document which contains incorrect information for the purpose of obtaining a preferential tariff treatment for products.

Article 33

Free zones

1.  The European Union and the Republics of the CA Party shall take all necessary steps to ensure that products traded under cover of a proof of origin which in the course of transport use a free zone or a customs warehouse situated in their territory in accordance with their domestic legislation, are not substituted by other goods and do not undergo handling other than normal operations designed to prevent their deterioration.

2.  By means of an exemption to the provisions contained in paragraph 1, when products originating in the European Union or in Central America are imported into a free zone under cover of a proof of origin and undergo treatment or processing, the competent public authorities shall issue a new movement certificate EUR.1 at the exporter's request, if the treatment or processing undergone is in conformity with the provisions of this Annex.

TITLE VI

Appendix 1

INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO ANNEX II

Note 1:

The list in Appendix 2 sets out the conditions required for all products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 5 of Annex II.

Note 2:

2.1. The first two columns in the list describe the product obtained. The first column gives the subheading number, 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 subheading, heading or chapter. For each entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in column 3 or 4. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an "ex", this signifies that the rules in column 3 or 4 apply only to the part of that subheading, heading or chapter as described in column 2.

2.2. 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 rules in column 3 or 4 apply 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.

2.3. 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 rules in column 3 or 4.

2.4. Where, for an entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in both columns 3 and 4, the exporter may opt, as an alternative, to apply either the rule set out in column 3 or that set out in column 4. If no origin rule is given in column 4, the rule set out in column 3 is to be applied.

Note 3:

3.1. The provisions of Article 5 of Annex II, concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products, shall apply, regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these products are used or in another factory in the EU Party or in the Republics of the CA Party.

Example:

An engine of heading 8407 , for which the rule states that the value of the non-originating materials which may be incorporated may not exceed 40 percent of the ex-works price, is made from "other alloy steel roughly shaped by forging" of heading ex 7224 .

If this forging has been forged in the EU Party from a non-originating ingot, it has already acquired originating status by virtue of the rule for heading ex 7224 in the list. The forging can then count as originating in the value-calculation for the engine, regardless of whether it was produced in the same factory or in another factory in the EU Party. The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of the non-originating materials used.

3.2. 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 originating status. Thus, if a rule provides 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.

3.3. Without prejudice to Note 3.2, where a rule uses the expression "Manufacture from materials of any heading", then materials of any heading(s) (even materials of the same description and heading as the product) may 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…" or "Manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of the same heading as the product" means that materials of any heading(s) may be used, except those of the same description as the product as given in column 2 of the list.

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

Example:

The rule for fabrics of headings 5208 to 5212 provides 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; it is possible to use one or the other, or both.

3.5. Where a rule in the list specifies that a product shall 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. (See also Note 6.2 below in relation to textiles).

Example:

The rule for prepared foods of heading 1902 , which specifically excludes the use of cereals and their derivatives, does not prevent the use of mineral salts, chemicals and other additives which are not products from cereals.

However, this does not apply to products which, although they cannot be manufactured from the particular materials specified in the list, can be produced from a material of the same nature at an earlier stage of manufacture.

Example:

In the case of an article of apparel of ex Chapter 62 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.

3.6. Where, in a rule in the list, two percentages are given for the maximum value of non-originating materials that can be used, then these percentages may not be added together. In other words, the maximum value of all the non-originating materials used may never exceed the higher of the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual percentages shall not be exceeded, in relation to the particular materials to which they apply.

Note 4:

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

4.2. The term "natural fibres" includes horsehair of heading 0511 , silk of headings 5002 and 5003 , as well as wool-fibres and fine or coarse animal hair of headings 5101 to 5105 , cotton fibres of headings 5201 to 5203 , and other vegetable fibres of headings 5301 to 5305 .

4.3. 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.

4.4. 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 5501 to 5507 .

Note 5:

5.1. Where, for a given product in the list, reference is made to this Note, the conditions set out in column 3 shall not be applied to any basic textile materials used in the manufacture of this product and which, taken together, represent 10 percent or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 5.3 and 5.4 below.)

5.2. However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5.1 may be applied only 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,
— 
current-conducting filaments,
— 
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene,
— 
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester,
— 
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide,
— 
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile,
— 
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide,
— 
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene,
— 
synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(phenylene sulphide),
— 
synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(vinyl chloride),
— 
other synthetic man-made staple fibres,
— 
artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose,
— 
other artificial man-made staple fibres,
— 
yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped,
— 
yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester, whether or not gimped,
— 
products of heading 5605 (metallised yarn) 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 transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film,
— 
other products of heading 5605 .

Example:

A yarn, of heading 5205 , made from cotton fibres of heading 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading 5506 , is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating synthetic staple fibres which do not satisfy the origin-rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 percent of the weight of the yarn.

Example:

A woollen fabric, of heading 5112 , made from woollen yarn of heading 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading 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 which 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, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 percent of the weight of the fabric.

Example:

Tufted textile fabric, of heading 5802 , made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and cotton fabric of heading 5210 , is only a mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric made from yarns classified in two separate headings, or if the cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures.

Example:

If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading 5407 , then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is, accordingly, a mixed product.

5.3. In the case of products incorporating "yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped", this tolerance is 20 percent in respect of this yarn.

5.4. In the case of products 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 transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film", this tolerance is 30 percent in respect of this strip.

Note 6:

6.1. Where, in the list, reference is made to this Note, textile materials (with the exceptions of linings and interlinings), 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 they are classified in a heading other than that of the product and that their value does not exceed 8 percent of the ex-works price of the product.

6.2. Without prejudice to Note 6.3, materials, which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63, may be used freely in the manufacture of textile products, whether or not they contain textiles.

Example:

If a rule in the list provides that, for a particular textile item (such as trousers), yarn shall be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because buttons are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners, even though slide-fasteners normally contain textiles.

6.3. Where a percentage-rule applies, the value of materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 shall be taken into account when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated.

Note 7:

7.1. For the purposes of headings ex 2707 , 2713 to 2715 , ex 2901 , ex 2902 and ex 3403 , the "specific processes" are the following:

in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 only, treatment with hydrogen, at a pressure of more than 20 bar and a temperature of more than 250 °C, with the use of a catalyst, other than to effect desulphurisation, when the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a chemical reaction. The further treatment, with hydrogen, of lubricating oils of heading ex 2710 (e.g. hydrofinishing or decolourisation), in order, more especially, to improve colour or stability shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;

(m) 

in respect of fuel oils of heading ex 2710 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than 30 percent of these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C, by the ASTM D 86 method;

7.3. For the purposes of headings ex 2707 , 2713 to 2715 , ex 2901 , ex 2902 and ex 3403 , simple operations, such as cleaning, decanting, desalting, water-separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur-content as a result of mixing products with different sulphur-contents, or any combination of these operations or like operations, do not confer origin.

Note 8:

For the purpose of Article 4 of Annex II agricultural and horticultural goods grown in the territory of a Party shall be treated as originating in the territory of that Party even if grown from seeds, bulbs, rootstock, cuttings, grafts, shoots, buds, or other live parts of plants imported from a non-Party.

Note 9:

For the purpose of Article 6 of Annex II "simple" describes activities which need neither special skills nor machines, apparatus or equipment specially produced or installed for carrying out the activity. However, simple mixing does not include chemical reaction. Chemical reaction means a process (including a biochemical process) which results in a molecule with new structure by breaking intramolecular bonds and by forming new intramolecular bonds, or by altering the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule.
