1. For the purpose of Article 2, products that are not wholly obtained are considered to have undergone sufficient production when the conditions set out in Annex 5 are fulfilled.

2. If a non-originating material undergoes sufficient production, the resulting product shall be considered as originating and no account shall be taken of the non-originating material contained therein when that product is used in the subsequent production of another product.

Article 6 – Tolerance

1. Notwithstanding Article 5.1, and except as provided in paragraph 3, if the non-originating materials used in the production of a product do not fulfil the conditions set out in Annex 5, the product shall be considered an originating product provided that:

  1. the total value of those non-originating materials does not exceed 10 per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product;

Article 8 – Unit of classification

For the purpose of this Protocol:

  1. the tariff classification of a particular product or material shall be determined according to the HS;
  2. when a product composed of a group or assembly of articles or components is classified pursuant to the terms of the HS under a single heading or subheading, the whole shall constitute the particular product; and
  3. when a shipment consists of a number of identical products classified under the same heading or subheading of the HS, each product shall be considered separately.

Article 9 – Packaging and packing materials and containers

1. If, under General Rule 5 of the HS, packaging is included with the product for classification purposes, it is considered in determining whether all the non-originating materials used in the production of the product satisfy the requirements set out in Annex 5.

2. Packing materials and containers in which a product is packed for shipment shall be disregarded in determining the origin of that product.

Article 10 – Accounting segregation of fungible materials or products

1.

  1. If originating and non-originating fungible materials are used in the production of a product, the determination of the origin of the fungible materials does not need to be made through physical separation and identification of any specific fungible material, but may be determined on the basis of an inventory management system; or
  2. if originating and non-originating fungible products of Chapter 10, 15, 27, 28, 29, heading 32.01 through 32.07, or heading 39.01 through 39.14 of the HS are physically combined or mixed in inventory in a Party before exportation to the other Party, the determination of the origin of the fungible products does not need to be made through physical separation and identification of any specific fungible product, but may be determined on the basis of an inventory management system.

2. The inventory management system must:

  1. ensure that, at any time, no more products receive originating status than would have been the case if the fungible materials or fungible products had been physically segregated;
  2. specify the quantity of originating and non-originating materials or products, including the dates on which those materials or products were placed in inventory and, if required by the applicable rule of origin, the value of those materials or products;
  3. specify the quantity of products produced using fungible materials, or the quantity of fungible products, that are supplied to customers who require evidence of origin in a Party for the purpose of obtaining preferential treatment under this Agreement, as well as to customers who do not require such evidence; and
  4. indicate whether an inventory of originating products was available in sufficient quantity to support the declaration of originating status.

3. A Party may require that an exporter or producer within its territory that is seeking to use an inventory management system pursuant to this Article obtain prior authorisation from that Party in order to use that system. The Party may withdraw authorisation to use an inventory management system if the exporter or producer makes improper use of it.

4. For the purpose of paragraph 1, "fungible materials" or "fungible products" means materials or products 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.

Article 11 –Accessories, spare parts and tools

Accessories, spare parts, and tools delivered with a product that form part of its standard accessories, spare parts, or tools, that are not invoiced separately from the product and which quantities and value are customary for the product, shall be:

  1. taken into account in calculating the value of the relevant non-originating materials when the rule of origin of Annex 5 applicable to the product contains a percentage for the maximum value of non-originating materials; and
  2. disregarded in determining whether all the non-originating materials used in the production of the product undergo the applicable change in tariff classification or other requirements set out in Annex 5.

Article 12 – Sets

1. Except as provided in Annex 5, a set, as referred to in General Rule 3 of the HS, is originating provided that:

  1. all of the set's component products are originating; or
  2. when the set contains a non-originating component product, at least one of the component products or all of the packaging material and containers for the set is originating; and
    1. the value of the non-originating component products of Chapter 1 through 24 of the Harmonized System does not exceed 15 per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the set;
    2. the value of the non-originating component products of Chapter 25 through 97 of the HS does not exceed 25 per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the set; and
    3. the value of all of the set's non-originating component products does not exceed 25 per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the set.

2. The value of non-originating component products is calculated in the same manner as the value of non-originating materials.

3. The transaction value or ex-works price of the set shall be calculated in the same manner as the transaction value or ex-works price of the product.

Article 13 – Neutral elements

For the purpose of determining whether a product is originating, it is not necessary to determine the origin of the following which might be used in its production:

  1. energy and fuel;
  2. plant and equipment;
  3. machines and tools; or
  4. materials which do not enter and which are not intended to enter into the final composition of the product.

Article 14 – Transport through a third country

1. A product that has undergone production that satisfies the requirements of Article 2 shall be considered originating only if, subsequent to that production, the product:

  1. does not undergo further production or any other operation outside the territories of the Parties, other than unloading, reloading, or any other operation necessary to preserve it in good condition or to transport the product to the territory of a Party; and
  2. remains under customs control while outside the territories of the Parties.

2. The storage of products and shipments or the splitting of shipments may take place where carried out under the responsibility of the exporter or of a subsequent holder of the products and the products remain under customs control in the country or countries of transit.

Article 15 – Returned originating products

If an originating product exported from a Party to a third country returns, it shall be considered as non-originating, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that the returning product:

  1. is the same as that exported; and
  2. has not undergone any operation beyond that necessary to preserve it in good condition.

Article 16 – Sugar

1. If a rule of origin requires that the net weight of non-originating sugar used in production not exceed a specified threshold, the product satisfies this condition if the total net weight of all mono-saccharides and di-saccharides contained in the product, or in the materials used in production, does not exceed this threshold.

2. The product also satisfies the condition in paragraph 1 if the threshold is not exceeded by the net weight of non-originating sugar classified in heading 17.01 or subheading 1702.30 through 1702.60 or 1702.90 other than malto-dextrin, chemically pure maltose, or "colouring" caramel, as described in the explanatory notes to heading 17.02, when used as such in the production of:

  1. the product; and
  2. the non-originating sugar-containing materials classified in subheading 1302.20, 1704.90, 1806.10, 1806.20, 1901.90, 2101.12, 2101.20, 2106.90, and 3302.10 that are used as such in the production of the product. Alternatively, the net weight of all mono-saccharides and di-saccharides contained in any of these sugar-containing materials may also be used. If the net weight of the non-originating sugar used in the production of these sugar containing materials or the net weight of mono-saccharides and di-saccharides contained in these sugar-containing materials is not known, the total net weight of these materials used as such in production must apply.

3. The net weight of any non-originating sugar as referred to in paragraph 2 may be calculated on a dry weight basis.

4. For the purpose of the rules of origin for heading 17.04 and 18.06, the value of non-originating sugar refers to the value of the non-originating material referred to in paragraph 2 that is used in production of the product.

12. If there are differences in relation to the verification procedures of this Article or in the interpretation of the rules of origin in determining whether a product qualifies as originating, and these differences cannot be resolved through consultations between the customs authority requesting the verification and the customs authority responsible for performing the verification, and if the customs authority of the importing Party intends to make a determination of origin that is inconsistent with the written report provided under paragraph 8(a) by the customs authority of the exporting Party, the importing Party shall notify the exporting Party within 60 days of receiving the written report.

13. At the request of either Party, the Parties shall hold and conclude consultations within 90 days from the date of the notification referred to in paragraph 12 to resolve those differences.

  1. if the ruling is based on an error of fact;
  2. if there is a change in the material facts or circumstances on which the ruling is based;

Annex 5 – Product-specific rules of origin

Introductory Notes to Annex 5

1. This Annex sets out the conditions required for a product to be considered originating within the meaning of Article 5 (Sufficient Production).

2. The following definitions apply:

chapter means a chapter of the Harmonized System;

heading means any four-digit number, or the first four digits of any number, used in the Harmonized System;

section means a section of the Harmonized System;

subheading means any six-digit number, or the first six digits of any number, used in the Harmonized System; and

tariff provision means a chapter, heading, or subheading of the Harmonized System.

3. The product-specific rule of origin, or set of rules of origin, that applies to a product classified in a particular heading, subheading, or group of headings or subheadings is set out immediately adjacent to that heading, subheading, or group of headings or subheadings.

4. Unless otherwise specified, a requirement of a change in tariff classification or any other condition set out in a product-specific rule of origin applies only to non-originating material.

5. Section, chapter, heading, or subheading notes, where applicable, are found at the beginning of each new section, chapter, heading, or subheading. These notes must be read in conjunction with the product-specific rules of origin for the applicable section, chapter, heading, or subheading and may impose further conditions on, or provide an alternative to, the product-specific rules of origin.

6. Unless otherwise specified, reference to weight in a product-specific rule of origin means the net weight, which is the weight of a material or a product not including the weight of packaging as set out in the definitions of "net weight of non-originating material" and "net weight of the product" in Article 1 (Definitions) of this Protocol.

7. A reference to non-originating sugar in a product-specific rule of origin means the non-originating material referred to in Article 16 (Sugar) of this Protocol.

8. If a product-specific rule of origin requires:

  1. a change from any other chapter, heading, or subheading, or a change to product xFootnote 2 from any other chapter, heading, or subheading, only non-originating material classified in a chapter, heading, or subheading other than that of the product may be used in the production of the product;
  2. a change from within a heading or subheading, or from within any one of these headings or subheadings, non-originating material classified within the heading or subheading may be used in the production of the product, as well as non-originating material classified in a chapter, heading, or subheading other than that of the product;
  3. a change from any heading or subheading outside a group, only non-originating material classified outside the group of headings or subheadings may be used in the production of the product;
  4. that a product is wholly obtained, the product must be wholly obtained within the meaning of Article 4 (Wholly Obtained Products). If a shipment consists of a number of identical products classified under tariff provision x, each product shall be considered separately;
  5. production in which all the material of tariff provision x used is wholly obtained, all of the material of tariff provision x used in production of the product must be wholly obtained within the meaning of Article 4 (Wholly Obtained Products);
  6. a change from tariff provision x, whether or not there is also a change from any other chapter, heading or subheading, the value of any non-originating material that satisfies the change in tariff classification specified in the phrase commencing with the words "whether or not" is not considered when calculating the value of non-originating materials. If two or more product-specific rules of origin are applicable to a heading, subheading, or group of headings or subheadings, the change in tariff classification specified in this phrase reflects the change specified in the first rule of origin;
  7. that the value of non-originating materials of tariff provision x does not exceed x per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product, only the value of the non-originating material specified in this rule of origin is considered when calculating the value of non-originating materials. The percentage for the maximum value of non-originating materials as set out in this rule of origin may not be exceeded through the use of Article 6 (Tolerance);
  8. that the value of non-originating materials classified in the same tariff provision as the final product does not exceed x per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product, non-originating material classified in a tariff provision other than that of the product may be used in the production of the product. Only the value of the non-originating materials classified in the same tariff provision as the final product is considered when calculating the value of non-originating materials. The percentage for the maximum value of non-originating materials as set out in this rule of origin may not be exceeded through the use of Article 6 (Tolerance);
  9. that the value of all non-originating materials does not exceed x per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product, the value of all non-originating materials is considered when calculating the value of non-originating materials. The percentage for the maximum value of non-originating materials as set out in this rule of origin may not be exceeded through the use of Article 6 (Tolerance); and
  10. that the net weight of non-originating material of tariff provision x used in production does not exceed x per cent of the net weight of the product, the specified non-originating materials may be used in the production of the product, provided that it does not exceed the specified percentage of the net weight of the product in accordance with the definition of "net weight of the product" in Article 1. The percentage for the maximum weight of non-originating material as set out in this rule of origin may not be exceeded through the use of Article 6 (Tolerance).

9. The product-specific rule of origin represents the minimum amount of production required on non-originating material for the resulting product to achieve originating status. A greater amount of production than that required by the product-specific rule of origin for that product also confers originating status.

10. If a product-specific rule of origin provides that a specified non-originating material may not be used, or that the value or weight of a specified non-originating material cannot exceed a specific threshold, these conditions do not apply to non-originating material classified elsewhere in the Harmonized System.

11. In accordance with Article 5 (Sufficient Production), when a material obtains originating status in the territory of a Party and this material is further used in the production of a product for which origin is being determined, no account will be taken of any non-originating material used in the production of that material. This applies whether or not the material has acquired originating status inside the same factory where the product is produced.

12. The product-specific rules of origin set out in this Annex also apply to used products.

A change from within this heading or heading 87.06 through 87.08, whether or not there is a change from any other heading, provided that the value of non-originating materials of this heading or heading 87.06 through 87.08 does not exceed 50 per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product.

This rule of origin will apply to the enterprises located in Canada and their successors and assigns producing products of heading 87.02 in Canada, as of the conclusion of negotiations on 1 August 2014.

Note 2

The Parties agree to apply cumulation with the United States according to the following provisions:

Provided that there is a Free Trade Agreement in force between each Party and the United States consistent with the Parties' WTO obligations and the Parties reach agreement on all the applicable conditions, any material of Chapter 84, 85, 87 or 94 of the Harmonized System originating in the United States used in the production of a product of heading 87.02 of the Harmonized System in Canada or the European Union will be considered as originating.

Accordingly, the alternative Product-Specific Rules of Origin for products of heading 87.02 will cease to apply one year following the entry into application of such cumulation.

The application of cumulation and deletion of Note 2 will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union for information purposes.

Annex 6 – Joint declaration concerning rules of origin for textiles and apparel

1. Under this Agreement, trade in textiles and apparel between the Parties is based on the principle that double transformation confers origin, as reflected in Annex 5 (Product-specific rules of origin) of the Protocol on rules of origin and origin procedures.

2. Nevertheless, for a number of reasons, including the absence of a negative cumulative effect on the producers of the EU, the Parties agree to derogate from paragraph 1 by providing for limited, reciprocal origin quotas for textiles and apparel. These origin quotas are expressed in terms of volumes classified by product category, and includes considering dyeing as equivalent to printing, for a limited and clearly identified range of product categories.

3. The Parties affirm that these origin quotas, which are exceptional, will be applied in strict adherence to the Protocol on rules of origin and origin procedures.
