GUIDELINES ON CERTIFICATION OF ORIGIN

I. INTRODUCTION

The origin of goods is one of the crucial elements for international trade. Recognizing the various purposes in which the origin of goods plays a vital role, the Customs administrations around the world must implement rules of origin in an effective and efficient manner. The WCO Guidelines on Certification of Origin (hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines) offer practical explanations. The Guidelines aim to provide useful guidance for the Members to design, develop and achieve robust management of origin-related procedures. Section I provides general background and definitions to be used throughout the Guidelines.

Section II deals with the certification of origin with regard to preferential rules of origin, which is

used to determine whether a preferential tariff rate is applicable under respective preferential schemes. Section III covers the certification procedures for non-preferential rules of origin, of which the scope is stipulated in the WTO Agreement on Rules of Origin. The Guidelines are non-binding and do not intend to challenge any existing agreement or legislation of any Member.

1 What is certification of origin?

A set of comprehensive rules of origin is generally comprised of origin criteria to determine the country of origin / originating status of a product and also procedural requirements to support a claim that the product satisfies the applicable origin criteria. Certification of origin constitutes the primary part of such procedural requirements. On the other hand, currently there are no clear and effective international standards on the definition of a proof of origin and related procedures. The WTO Agreement on Rules of Origin is silent on procedural aspects. Even though the Revised Kyoto Convention provides certain definitions in Chapter 2 of Specific Annex K which refers HYLGHQFHRIRULJLQquotesdbs_dbs17.pdfusesText_23
