Rules of Origin

Rules of Origin Chapter

Rules of Origin (ROO) are criteria used to determine the “nationality” of a product, which will determine whether a good will be given preferential access to a member country.

This ensures that only goods originating from Parties of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) can benefit under the FTA. To ensure this, Rules of Origin are put in place to determine the nationality of a good.

To qualify as originating, the product must either be wholly obtained, or for manufactured products, have undergone "substantial transformation".

The main principle behind the concept of ROO for manufactured products is that the country of origin is the last country where a substantial transformation took place. Three main criteria of "substantial transformation":

Three main criteria of "substantial transformation":

	1	Change in Tariff Classification (CTC)
	2	Value-Added Rule (VA) i.e. Local Content Rule
	3	Process Rule

Depending on individual FTAs, each rule could be applied in isolation, in the alternative or in tandem. They could be applied as a general rule to all products, appearing in the main text of the FTA (eg ANZSCEP) or as product specific rules reflected in an Annex, which lists all products covered under the FTA and their corresponding ROO (eg USSFTA).

There are 2 variations from the conventional ROO concept that the country of origin is the last country where a substantial transformation took place:
