What changes have been made to the new FORM E certificate?
As far as China is concerned,
If you need to authorize other agents to represent their exports,
Chinese manufacturers can apply directly for a certificate of origin.
Appendix A of the Protocol, “Revised Procedures for the Visa Operation of the Rules of Origin of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area” (hereinafter referred to as “Operating Procedures”)
The new version of the original certificate page description Article 7
In the eleventh column, the manufacturer needs to make a statement, and the seventh column should fill in the name and address of the agent.
The FORM E certificate is no longer subject to the number of 20 items.
There is no need to split the invoice number to declare more miscellaneous goods.
"Operational Procedure" Rule 7 before "Upgrade":
"Upgraded" Operational Procedures (OCP) RULE 7:
Canceled the comment on 20 products
The continuation of the multi-page certificate must be consistent with the format, signature, stamp and number of the home page.
The rules of origin are more detailed,
The option for the origin criteria in column 8 of the certificate has been changed to five.
When the product is fully produced or obtained, the origin criteria in column 8 of the certificate shall indicate "WO" (agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry) or "PE" (except for agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry);
When the product is incompletely produced or obtained, the origin criteria in column 8 of the certificate shall indicate "PSR", "percentage of regional value component" or "CTH".
When using the rules of origin to determine the origin of a product, it is usually done in the following order:
1. In accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of the Protocol to the Protocol in Annex 1 of the Protocol, when determining the origin of a product, if the product meets the definition of full production or acquisition, it is not necessary to consider whether it meets the origin. The standard for products containing non-original ingredients; only products that do not meet the definition of full production or acquisition should be judged according to the criteria in Article 4 of the Rules of Origin. For example, tulip bulbs imported from the Netherlands, planted in the soil of China, cultivated flowers, exported to Malaysia, can enjoy preferential tariff treatment in the China-ASEAN Free Trade Zone? Since Article 3(a) of the Rules of Origin states that the complete production or acquisition of products includes “plant products harvested on the members' side;”, the tulips thus cultivated are completely native to China.
2. If the product does not meet the definition of full production or acquisition, the non-original component of the product must be determined according to the “micro-processing” or “under-processing” clause (negative standard) set in the rules of origin. Whether the processed process exceeds the scope of minor or insufficient processing. If it is not exceeded, the product does not have the original qualification; if it is exceeded, it is determined whether the product is included in the list of products covered by the Product Specific Rules, and if so, determine its Whether it meets the corresponding specific rules of origin (the regional value component is not less than 40%, the tax classification changes or the processing procedure rules), if it is met, the product has the original production qualification; if the product is not listed in the "Product Specific Rules" list, The origin of the product shall be determined in accordance with the general rules.
Article 4 of the Annex 1 (ANNEX1) Rules of Origin (Article 4) establishes new rules for the determination of incompletely produced or acquired products:
Article 4
Incomplete production or acquisition
1. Except for the products covered by paragraph 2, the following conditions shall be deemed to be the origin products referred to in Article 2(c) of this Annex:
(a) if the regional value of the product is not less than 40% of the FOB price calculated using the formula described in Article 5 of this Annex, and the final production process is carried out in one Party; or
(b) If the product is included in the Harmonized System, 25, 26, 28, 293, 324, 395, 42-49, 57-59, 61, 62, 64, 66-71, 73-83, 86, 88, 91- Chapter 97, and four items changed in non-original materials during the manufacturing process.
2. When the product is listed in the List of Product Specific Rules in Appendix B of the first paragraph, it shall be regarded as the original product if it meets the value of the regional value listed in the list of not less than 40% or other standards.
3 For Headings 29.01 and 29.02, the applied criterion is RVC 40%, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.
除非各协议方另有其他一致意见,品目号为29.01和29.02的产品,判定为原产的标准是区域价值成分不应少于40%。
4 For Headings 31.05, the applied criterion is RVC 40%, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.
5 For Headings 39.01, 39.02, 39.03, 39.07 and 39.08, the applied criterion is RVC 40%, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.
//////////
The legal provisions are very difficult. It is specifically stated here that the rules of origin are used in order to indicate the determination of products that are not fully produced or obtained. In accordance with the provisions of Article 4 of the Rules of Origin, paragraph 2 (special rules) shall apply first, and paragraph 1 (general rules) shall apply if not applicable.
(Note: each figure can be clicked to enlarge)
Column 7 should fill in the six sub-items of the product. The first six digits of HS coding are international standard codes, and countries can decide 7 to 10 national codes on their own. Most preferential certificate of origin requires the filling of the top six HS codes (the ECFA certificate is required to fill the 8-digit HS code of the importer).
Review the list of Product Specific Rules (Appendix B) and the results are as follows:
HS编码 及名称 |
适用特定原产地规则 |
证书第8栏 |
---|---|---|
1801.00 生或炒 可可豆 |
WO (完全获得) |
不能获得 原产资格 |
1805.00 不含糖 可可粉 |
RVC 40 或 CTH |
PSR |
1806.10 含糖的 可可粉 |
RVC 40 或 CTH (非原产成分 不属于 品目1805) |
PSR |
Chapters 61 and 62 are included in the Product Specific Rules (PSR) list; they are also included in the CTH list of general rules, ie Article 4, paragraph 1 (b). The PSR list and the CTH list overlap cover a total of 232 items of 6 sub-products, mainly in the two chapters of the clothing product.
The rules in the PSR list give the product greater flexibility to qualify for origin. In chapters 61 and 62, most garment products are subject to substantial changes as long as they meet one of the three conditions, thereby obtaining the qualification for origin. The new rules after the upgrade actually reduce the threshold for obtaining a certificate of origin.
For the products of Chapters 61 and 62 to obtain the qualifications for origin, you can choose not less than 40% of the applicable regional value components, four headings to change or specific processing procedures.
Note: Processing procedure rules
Rule one means “starting with fiber”;
Rule 2 means “starting from the yarn”;
Rule three means "starting from tailoring."
For products that are neither in the PSR list nor in the CTH list, only RVC40 (with a regional value percentage of not less than 40%) can be used to determine the origin of the product. If it is met, the eighth column of the certificate is filled with "% of actual area value", such as 40%
7227.20 Hot rolled wire rod of silicon-manganese steel
8515.21 Straight seam welding machine
These two products can only be judged using RVC40.
Added "minor content" rule
Article 9 (Article 9) of the revised Rules of Origin has added the “minor content” rule.
Article 9
Micro content
If the goods do not meet the requirements for the classification of tariffs as stipulated in Article 4 of this Annex, but the following conditions are met, they shall still be regarded as the original goods:
1. For goods other than Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System, the value of all non-originating materials used in the production of goods that do not subject to a defined tax change shall not exceed 10% of the FOB price of the goods;
2. For goods of Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System, non-originating materials that have not been subject to change in the classification of the goods are used in the production of the goods, provided that the weight of all of the above non-originating materials does not exceed 10% of the total weight of the goods. , or the value of all of the above non-originating materials does not exceed 10% of the FOB price of the goods;
And the goods comply with all other applicable standards of this annex.
For example, leather handbags (HS 4202.21)
(This case is only used to explain how the rules apply)
Tax item classification change rules: Four items should be changed.
FOB value: $100
Judgment: Purchasing is the only non-original component that does not comply with changes in tax classification, as required by Annex 1 of the Protocol, Rules of Origin. The value of the coin purse accounts for 5% of the FOB value of the goods. Due to the micro-content rule, that is, the value of the non-original component does not exceed 10% of the FOB value of the goods, the handbag conforms to the definition of the origin of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Zone and should be qualified for the origin.
1. When the certificate of origin in the eighth column of the certificate is a percentage, the column 9 automatically displays the FOB value;
2. When the PSR of the certificate column 8 is filled in the PSR and the applicable regional value component (RVC) standard is selected in the reporting sub-standard (or RVC standard), the ninth column also displays the FOB value.
