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.
There are two types of origin: preferential origin and non-preferential origin. Preferential origin is conferred on goods from particular countries when they fulfil the rules of origin provided for in the relevant preferential arrangement.
The country of origin refers to the country or region in which goods have been grown, mined or manufactured. If two or more countries were involved in the manufacture of the products, the place where the last substantial working or processing was carried out will be recorded as the country of origin.
The basic role of rules of origin is the determination of the nationality of a given good, which must not be confused with the country of provenance (i.e., the last country that a given good passed through). There are several mandatory legal or administrative requirements to observe when goods are traded on the international market.
The Agreement on Rules of Origin aims at harmonizing the non-preferential rules of origin, outlines general principles for the making of rules of origin and established two committees, the Committee on Rules of Origin (CRO) and the Technical Committee on Rules of Origin (TCRO).
