of 25 June 2019

on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the EPA Committee established under the Interim Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States, on the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, on the other part, as regards the amendment of certain provisions of Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1) The Interim Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States, on the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, on the other part(1) (‘the Agreement’) was concluded by the Union by Council Decision 2012/196/EC(2) and has been provisionally applied since 14 May 2012.

(2) Pursuant to Articles 13 and 68 of the Agreement and Article 44 of Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation to the Agreement (‘the Protocol’), the EPA Committee may adopt amendments to the Protocol.

(3) The EPA Committee, during its eighth session/meeting, is to adopt a decision amending certain provisions of the Protocol.

(4) The Protocol requires the amendment of certain provisions in order to update the rules of origin to the most recent developments to provide more flexible and simpler rules of origin aiming at facilitating trade for economic operators and optimising the utilisation rate of the preferential treatment.

(5) Amendments to products (headings and descriptions) mentioned in Annex II to the Protocol are necessary to align to the updates made by the World Customs Organisation (WCO) on the HS Nomenclature 2012 and 2017 edition and maintain consistency of products descriptions and HS classification with the harmonised system.

(6) Annex IX to the Protocol lists the overseas countries and territories of the Union. Within the meaning of the Protocol, ‘overseas countries and territories’ mean the countries and territories referred to in Annex II to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The list should be updated to take account of the recent change of status of some of the overseas countries and territories.

(7) It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the EPA Committee, as the envisaged decision will be binding on the Union,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The position to be taken on the Union’s behalf within the EPA Committee established by the Interim Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States, on the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, on the other part, at its eighth session, shall be based on the draft decision of the EPA Committee attached to this Decision.

Decision No […] of the EPA Committee

of …2019

amending certain provisions of Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation to the Interim Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States, on the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, on the other part

THE EPA COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Interim Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States, on the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, on the other part(3) (‘the Agreement’), and in particular Article 13 thereto;

Having regard to Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation to the Agreement, and in particular Article 44 thereto;

Whereas:

(1) In accordance with Article 13 of the Agreement, the EPA Committee may decide to amend the provisions of Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation (‘the Protocol’) with a view to their further simplification.

(2) The Parties have agreed to make a corrigendum to Article 6(2) of the Protocol concerning the definition of the terms ‘their vessels’ and ‘their factory ships’.

(3) The Parties have agreed to introduce a new Article 13 entitled ‘Accounting segregation’, in order to allow economic operators to save costs by using that method of managing stocks.

(4) The Parties have agreed to replace the provision on ‘Direct Transport’ by a new one entitled ‘Non-alteration’, in order to allow for more flexibility for economic operators regarding the evidences that shall be supplied to customs authorities of the importing country when trans-shipment or customs warehousing of originating goods takes place in a third country.

(5) The Parties have agreed to introduce a new Article 17 of the Protocol, in order to allow economic operators to ship sugar of different origins without keeping the sugar in separate stores.

(6) The Parties have agreed to amend the Article on proof of origin, which is renumbered now as Article 18, in order to allow for more flexibility for economic operators to comply with the proofs of origin requirements.

(7) Amendments were introduced as from 1 January 2012 and 1 January 2017 into the Nomenclature governed by the Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (Harmonized System). As those amendments were not intended to change the rules of origin, it is necessary, in order to maintain the status quo, that Annex II to the Protocol is amended accordingly.

(8) Following the accession of Croatia to the Union, it is necessary to make changes in Annex IV to the Protocol to introduce the Croatian-language version of the statement of Annex IV.

(9) Amendments were introduced in the list of overseas countries and territories contained in Annex IX to the Protocol. Therefore, in order to reflect those changes it is necessary to amend that Annex accordingly.

(10) In view of the number of changes to be made to the Protocol and the Annexes thereto, clarity requires it to be replaced in its entirety,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The text of Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation to the Interim Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States, on the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, on the other part is hereby replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

(i)

waste and scrap resulting from manufacturing operations conducted there;

(j)

products extracted from marine soil or subsoil outside their territorial waters provided that they have sole rights to work that soil or subsoil;

(k)

goods produced there exclusively from the products specified in (a) to (j).

2. The terms ‘their vessels’ and ‘their factory ships’ in paragraph 1(f) and (g) shall apply only to vessels and factory ships:

(a)

which are registered in an EC Member State or in an ESA State;

(b)

which sail under the flag of an EC Member State or of an ESA State;

(c)

which meet one of the following conditions:

(i)

they are at least 50 per cent owned by nationals of an EC Member State or of an ESA State; or

(ii)

they are owned by companies

  • which have their head office and their main place of business in an EC Member State or in an ESA State; and

3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2, the Community shall recognise, upon request of an ESA State, that vessels chartered or leased by the ESA State be treated as ‘their vessels’ to undertake fisheries activities in its exclusive economic zone provided that the charter or lease agreement, for which the Community has been offered the right of first refusal, has been accepted by the Customs Cooperation Committee as providing adequate opportunities for developing the capacity of the ESA State to fish on its own account and in particular, as conferring on the ESA State the responsibility for the nautical and commercial management of the vessel at its disposal for a significant period of time.

4.The conditions of paragraph 2 can be fulfilled in different States insofar as they belong to ESA States. In this case, products shall be deemed to have the origin of the State of the nationals or of companies to which the vessel or factory ship belongs in accordance with paragraph 2(c). In the event of a vessel or factory ship owned by nationals or companies of States belonging to different Economic Partnership Agreements, the products shall be deemed to have the origin of the State whose nationals or companies contribute to the highest share in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2(c).

Article 7 Sufficiently worked or processed products

Article 71.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 Annex II are fulfilled.

2.Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the products which are listed in Annex II(a) can be considered to be sufficiently worked or processed, for the purposes of Article 2, when the conditions set out in that Annex are fulfilled.

3.The conditions referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 above indicate, for all products covered by this EPA, the working or processing which must be carried out on non-originating materials used in manufacturing and apply only in relation to such materials. Accordingly, it follows that if a product, which has acquired originating status by fulfilling the conditions set out in either 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.

4.Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 and 2, non-originating materials which, according to the conditions set out in Annex II and Annex II(a) should not be used in the manufacture of a given product may nevertheless be used, provided that:

(a)

their total value does not exceed 15 per cent of the exworks 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.

(o)

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

(p)

2.All operations carried out either in the Community or in the ESA States 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 9 Unit of qualification

Article 91.The unit of qualification for the application of the provisions of this Protocol shall be the particular product which is considered as the basic unit when determining classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonized System.

Accordingly, 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 Protocol.

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

Article 10 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 11 Sets

Sets, as defined in General Rule 3 for the interpretation 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.

(a)

energy and fuel;

(b)

plant and equipment;

(c)

machines and tools;

(d)

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

Article 13 Accounting segregation

Article 13 1.

2.The method shall also apply to originating and non-originating raw sugar not containing added flavouring or colouring matter and destined for further refining, of subheadings 170 112, 170 113, 170 114 of the Harmonized System, which are being physically combined or mixed in an ESA State or in the Community before exportation to the Community and respectively to the ESA States.

3.The method shall ensure that, at any time, the number or quantity of products obtained which could be considered as originating in the ESA State(s) or in the Community is the same as that which would have been obtained had there been physical segregation of the stocks.

4.The customs authorities may make the grant of authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 subject to any conditions deemed appropriate.

5.The method shall be applied and the application thereof shall be recorded on the basis of the general accounting principles applicable in the country where the product was manufactured.

6.The beneficiary of the method may make out or apply for proofs of origin, as the case may be, for the quantity of products which may be considered as originating. At the request of the customs authorities, the beneficiary shall provide a statement of how the quantities have been managed.

7.The customs authorities shall monitor the use made of the authorisation and may withdraw it whenever the beneficiary makes improper use of the authorisation in any manner whatsoever or fails to fulfil any of the other conditions laid down in this Protocol.

8.For the purposes of paragraph 1, fungible materials means materials that are of the same kind and commercial quality, with the same technical and physical characteristics, and which cannot be distinguished from one another for origin purposes.

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 34 Amounts expressed in euro

Article 341.For the application of the provisions of Article 23(1)(b) and Article 29(3) in cases where products are invoiced in a currency other than euro, amounts in the national currencies of an ESA State, of the Member States of the Community and of the other countries or territories referred to in Articles 3, 4 and 5 equivalent to the amounts expressed in euro shall be fixed annually by each of the countries concerned.

5.The amounts expressed in euro shall be reviewed by the Customs Cooperation Committee at the request of the Community or of the ESA States. When carrying out this review, the Customs Cooperation Committee shall consider the desirability of preserving the effects of the limits concerned in real terms.

Article 44 Derogations

Article 44 1. Derogations from this Protocol may be adopted by the Customs Cooperation Committee, hereafter in this article referred to as ‘the Committee’, where the development of existing industries or the creation of new industries in the ESA States justifies them. The ESA State or States concerned shall, either before or when it submits the matter to the Committee, notify the Community of its request for a derogation together with the reasons for the request in accordance with paragraph 2. The Community shall respond positively to all the ESA States’ requests which are duly justified in conformity with this Article and which cannot cause serious injury to an established Community industry.

2.In order to facilitate the examination by the Committee of requests for derogation, the ESA State or States making the request shall, by means of the form given in Annex VII to this Protocol, furnish in support of its request the fullest possible information covering in particular the points listed below:

The same rules shall apply to any requests for extension. The Committee may modify the form.

3.The examination of requests shall in particular take into account:

(a)

the level of development or the geographical situation of the ESA State or States concerned;

(b)

cases where the application of the existing rules of origin would significantly affect the ability of an existing industry in an ESA State to continue its exports to the Community, with particular reference to cases where this could lead to cessation of its activities;

(c)

specific cases where it can be clearly demonstrated that significant investment in an industry could be deterred by the rules of origin and where a derogation favouring the realisation of the investment program would enable these rules to be satisfied by stages.

4.In every case an examination shall be made to ascertain whether the rules relating to cumulation of origin do not provide a solution to the problem.

5.In addition, when a request for derogation concerns a least-developed or an island ESA State, its examination shall be carried out with a favourable bias having particular regard to:

(a)

the economic and social impact of the decision to be taken especially in respect of employment;

(b)

the need to apply the derogation for a period taking into account the particular situation of the ESA State concerned and its difficulties.

6.In the examination of requests, special account shall be taken, case by case, of the possibility of conferring originating status on products which include in their composition materials originating in neighbouring developing countries, least developed countries or developing countries with which one or more ESA States have special relations, provided that satisfactory administrative cooperation can be established.

7.Without prejudice to paragraphs 1 to 6, the derogation shall be granted where the value added to the non-originating products used in the ESA State concerned is at least 45 % of the value of the finished product, provided that the derogation is not such as to cause serious injury to an economic sector of the Community or of one or more Member States.

8.Without prejudice and in addition to paragraphs 1 to 7, derogations concerning canned tuna and tuna loins shall be granted within an annual quota of 8 000 tonnes for canned tuna and within an annual quota of 2 000 tonnes for tuna loins. Applications for such derogations shall be submitted by the ESA States in accordance with the abovementioned quota to the Committee, which shall grant them automatically and put them into force by means of a decision.

9.The Committee shall take steps necessary to ensure that a decision is reached as soon as possible and in any case not later than seventy-five working days after the request is received by the EC Co-chairman of the Committee. If the Community does not inform an ESA State of its position on the request within this period, the request shall be deemed to have been accepted.

10.

(a)

The derogation shall be valid for a period, generally of five years, to be determined by the Committee.

(b)

The derogation decision may provide for renewals without a new decision of the Committee being necessary, provided that the ESA State or States concerned submit, three months before the end of each period, a proof that they are still unable to meet the conditions of this Protocol which have been derogated from. If any objection is made to the extension, the Committee shall examine it as soon as possible and decide whether to prolong the derogation. The Committee shall proceed as provided for in paragraph 9. All necessary measures shall be taken to avoid interruptions in the application of the derogation.

(c)

In the periods referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b), the Committee may review the terms for implementing the derogation should a significant change be found to have taken place in the substantive factors governing the decision to grant the derogation. On conclusion of its review the Committee may decide to amend the terms of its decision as regards the scope of derogation or any other condition previously laid down.

3.Where products wholly obtained in Ceuta, Melilla or in the Community undergo working and processing in an ESA State, they shall be considered as having been wholly obtained in an ESA State.

4.Working or processing carried out in Ceuta, Melilla or in the Community shall be considered as having been carried out in an ESA State, when materials undergo further working or processing in an ESA State.

ANNEX I TO PROTOCOL 1 INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THE LIST IN ANNEX II

Note 1:

The list sets out the conditions required for all products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 7 of the Protocol.

Note 2:

1.

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 columns 3 or 4. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an ‘ex’, this signifies that the rules in columns 3 or 4 apply only to the part of that heading as described in column 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 columns 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.

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 columns 3 or 4.

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 has to be applied.

Note 3:

1.

The provisions of Article 7 of the Protocol concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products apply regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these products are used or in another factory in the Community or in the ESA States.

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 per cent of the ex-works price, is made from ‘other alloy steel roughly shaped by forging’ of heading No ex 7224.

If this forging has been forged in the Community from a non-originating ingot, it has already acquired originating status by virtue of the rule for heading No 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 Community. The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of the non-originating materials used.

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. Therefore, 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.

Without prejudice to Note 3.2 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.

4.

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.

Example:

The rule for fabrics of heading Nos 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.

5.

Where 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. (See also Note 6.3 below in relation to textiles).

Example:

The rule for prepared foods of heading No 1904 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.

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 highest of the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual percentages must not be exceeded in relation to the particular materials they apply to.

Note 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 that have been carded, combed or otherwise processed but not spun.

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.

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.

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 5:

1.

Where for a given product in the list a 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, which, taken together, represent 10 per cent or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 5.3 and 5.4 below).

2.

However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5.1 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,

  • 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 polyphenylene sulphide,

  • synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyvinyl 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 No 5605 (metallized 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 No 5605.

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 per cent of the yarn.

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 provided their total weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the weight of the fabric.

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.

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.

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 per cent in respect of this yarn.

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 an adhesive between two layers of plastic film’, this tolerance is 30 per cent in respect of this strip.

Note 6:

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 products 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 in Chapters 50 to 63. Linings and interlinings are not be regarded as trimmings or accessories.

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 3.5.

3.

In accordance with Note 3.5, 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(4), 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.

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.

Note 7:

1.

For the purposes of heading Nos ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, the ‘specific processes’ are the following:

(b)

redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process(5);

(c)

cracking;

(d)

reforming;

(e)

extraction by means of selective solvents;

(f)

the process comprising all the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralization with alkaline agents; decolorization and purification with naturally active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

(g)

polymerization;

(h)

alkylation;

(i)

isomerization.

2.

For the purposes of heading Nos 2710, 2711 and 2712, the ‘specific processes’ are the following:

(a)

vacuum distillation;

(b)

redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process;

(c)

cracking;

(d)

reforming;

(e)

extraction by means of selective solvents;

(f)

the process comprising all the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralization with alkaline agents; decolorization and purification with naturally active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

(g)

polymerization;

(h)

alkylation;

(i)

isomerization;

(j)

in respect of heavy oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only, desulphurization with hydrogen resulting in a reduction of at least 85 per cent of the sulphur content of the products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method);

(k)

in respect of products falling within heading No 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering;

(l)

in respect of heavy oils falling within heading No 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 desulphurization, when the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a chemical reaction. The further treatment with hydrogen of lubricating oils of heading No ex 2710 (e.g. hydrofinishing or decolorization) 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 falling within heading No ex 2710 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than 30 per cent of these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300°C by the ASTM D 86 method;

(n)

in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils falling within heading No ex 2710 only, treatment by means of a high-frequency electrical brush-discharge.

For the purposes of heading Nos 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, any combination of these operations or like operations do not confer origin.
