Rules of origin
Finding the correct rule of origin for export
Depending on the type of good you are seeking to export, in order to claim preferential treatment, it will need to qualify as originating, for example be wholly obtained or sufficiently processed in the UK.
To be considered sufficiently processed your good will need to meet the relevant product specific rule (PSR). The PSRs for this agreement use the 2017 version of the Harmonised System (HS) nomenclature. You should apply the PSR for your good using the code in which it was classified under this nomenclature.
Claiming preferential rates for your exports from the UK바카라 사이트바카라 사이트
As an importer, you must declare that you hold proof your goods comply with the rules of origin to benefit from preferential tariffs when:바카라 사이트
- importing into the UK from바카라 사이트Norway
- importing into바카라 사이트Norway바카라 사이트from the UK
Entitlement to preferential tariffs is based on an origin declaration issued by the exporter. Your declaration on origin can be in electronic format (for example, emails and PDFs). As a UK exporter, you can issue an origin declaration without having all the necessary바카라 사이트information on origin.바카라 사이트
UK exporters should be:바카라 사이트
- confident that the origin of goods is correct바카라 사이트
- able to follow record-keeping requirements
- prepared to provide the necessary information upon request
Origin Declaration
The origin declaration바카라 사이트can be found in Appendix 4 to the Annex on Rules of Origin (Annex 1) in the FTA. The origin declaration must바카라 사이트use the following wording:바카라 사이트
The exporter of the products covered by this document (customs authorisation No 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트(1)) declares that, except where otherwise clearly indicated, these products are of 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트(2)바카라 사이트preferential origin. 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트(3) (Place and date) 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트(4) (Signature of the exporter, in addition the name of the person signing the declaration has to be indicated in clear script).
Notes
(1)바카라 사이트When the origin declaration is made out by an approved exporter, the authorisation number of the approved exporter must be entered in this space. When the origin declaration is not made out by an approved exporter, the words in brackets shall be omitted or the space left blank.바카라 사이트
(2)바카라 사이트Origin of products to be indicated (ISO-Alpha-2 code is permitted). Reference may be made to a specific column of the invoice in which the country of origin of each product is entered.
(3)바카라 사이트These indications may be omitted if the information is contained on the document itself.
(4)바카라 사이트In cases where the exporter is not required to sign, the exemption of signature also implies the exemption of the name of the signatory.바카라 사이트
Using EU materials and processing in your exports to Norway바카라 사이트바카라 사이트

However, a limited number of operations such as the adding or affixing of marks, labels and seals, or operations designed to preserve them in good condition, may be undertaken provided this takes place under customs supervision.
