Questions this course answers
What does customs origin describe?
Origin is determined by legal criteria about production and processing, not simply by the last export location.
What is the main purpose of preferential rules of origin?
Preferential origin rules limit agreement benefits to goods that meet the agreement's product and evidence requirements.
What does a change-in-tariff-classification rule compare?
The tariff-shift test is a legal comparison between input and finished-good classifications, subject to exceptions in the product rule.
Why is a certificate of origin not enough by itself?
The claim must be supported by the applicable origin criterion and records that connect the rule to the goods.
When should an origin analysis be refreshed?
Origin depends on current legal rules and current production facts, so material changes can invalidate an earlier conclusion.
