Note 2: 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. 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. 2. 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. 2. 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: 3. 1. The provisions of Article 5 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 same country or another EEA country. 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 EEA 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 country or in another EEA country. The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of the non- originating materials used. 3. 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. Thus 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. 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 including other contained in the rule. However, the expression ‘manufacture from materials of any heading, 11/Vol. 2 MT Il-Gurnal Ufficjali ta' l-Unjoni Ewropea 113 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. 3. 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. 3. 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. 2 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. 3. 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: 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. 4. 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. 4. 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. 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: 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). 114 MT Il-Gurnal Ufficjali ta' l-Unjoni Ewropea 11/Vol. 2 5. 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, — 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. 11/Vol. 2 MT Il-Gurnal Ufficjali ta' l-Unjoni Ewropea 115 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. Example: A carpet with tufts made from both artificial yarns and cotton yarns and with a jute backing is a mixed product because three basic textile materials are used. Thus, any non-originating materials that are at a later stage of manufacture than the rule allows may be used, provided their total weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the weight of the textile materials of the carpet. Thus, both the jute backing and/or the artificial yarns could be imported at that stage of manufacture, provided the weight conditions are met. 5. 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. 5. 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: 6. 1. In the case of those textile products which are marked in the list by a footnote referring to this note, textile materials, with the exception of linings and interlinings, which do not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column 3 for the made-up product concerned may be used provided that they are classified in a heading other than that of the product and that their value does not exceed 8 per cent of the ex-works price of the product. 6. 2. Without prejudice to Note 6. 3, materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 may be used freely in the manufacture of textile products, whether or not they contain textiles. Example: If a rule in the list provides that for a particular textile item, such as trousers, yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because buttons are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners even though slide-fasteners normally contain textiles. 6. 3. Where a percentage rules applies, the value of materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 must be taken into account when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated. Note 7: 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: (a) vacuum distillation; (b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process (1); (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. (1) See Additional Explanatory Note 4 (b) to Chapter 27 of the Combined Nomenclature. 116 MT Il-Gurnal Ufficjali ta' l-Unjoni Ewropea 11/Vol. 2 7. 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 (1); (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; (ij) isomerization; (k) 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); (l) in respect of products falling within heading No 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering; (m) 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; (n) (o) 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 distil, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C by the ASTM D 86 method; 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. 7. 3. 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 content, any combination of these operations or like operations do not confer origin.

However, the footnotes do not have to be reproduced. SUPPLIER'S DECLARATION for goods which have undergone working or processing in the EEA without having obtained preferential originating status I, the undersigned, supplier of the goods covered by the annexed document, declare that: 1. The following materials which do not originate in the EEA have been used in the EEA to produce these goods: Description of the goods supplied (1) Description of non-originating materials used HS heading of non-originating materials used (2) Value of non-originating materials used (2) (3). Total value. Total value. 2. All the other materials used in the EEA to produce these goods originate in the EEA; 11/Vol. 2 MT Il-Gurnal Ufficjali ta' l-Unjoni Ewropea 197 3. The following goods have undergone working or processing outside the EEA in accordance with Article 11 of Protocol 4 to the EEA Agreement and have acquired the following total added value there: Description of the goods supplied Total added value acquired outside the EEA (4). (Place and date). (Address and signature of the supplier; in addition the name of the person signing the declaration has to be indicated in clear script) (1) When the invoice, delivery note or other commercial document to which the declaration is annexed relates to different kinds of goods, or to goods which do not incorporate non-originating materials to the same extent, the supplier must clearly differentiate them. Example: The document relates to different models of electrical motors of heading No 8501 to be used in the manufacture of washing machines of heading No 8450. The types and value of the non-originating materials used in the manufacture of these motors differ from one model to another. The models must therefore be differentiated in the first column and the indications in the other columns must be provided separately for each of the models to make it possible for the manufacturer of washing machines to make a correct assessment of the originating status of his products depending on which model of electrical motor he uses. (2) The indications requested in these columns should only be given if they are necessary. Examples: The rule for garments of ex Chapter 62 says that non-originating yarn may be used. If a manufacturer of such garments in France uses fabric imported from Norway which has been obtained there by weaving non-originating yarn, it is sufficient for the Norwegian supplier to describe in his declaration the non-originating material used as yarn, without it being necessary to indicate the HS heading and value of such yarn. A producer of iron wire of HS heading No 7217 who has produced it from non-originating iron bars should indicate in the second column “bars of iron”. Where this wire is to be used in the production of a machine, for which the origin rule contains a limitation for all non-originating materials used to a certain percentage value, it is necessary to indicate in the third column the value of the non-originating bars. “Value of materials” means the customs value at the time of importation of the non-originating materials used, or, if this is not known and cannot be ascertained, the first ascertainable price paid for the materials in the EEA. The exact value of each non-originating material used must be given per unit of the goods specified in the first column. “Total added value” shall mean all costs accumulated outside the EEA, including the value of all the materials added there. The exact total added value acquired outside the EEA must be given per unit of the goods specified in the first column.
