Handbook on rules of origin and preferential treatment of imported goods
Service provider:
Free trade agreements often require that a product be wholly obtained in the contracting states or undergo sufficient processing there in order to qualify for preferential treatment under the agreement. Rules of origin set out the conditions under which a product covered by a free trade agreement is considered an originating product. These rules are therefore necessary to distinguish products covered by free trade agreements and eligible for preferential treatment from products that are not eligible for such treatment, the so-called third-country goods.
An importer of goods that meet the rules of origin requirements under the relevant free trade agreement must submit proof of origin in the importing country in support of a claim for preferential treatment of the goods.

Notes
Where the invoice declaration is made by an approved exporter within the meaning of the Protocol, the exporter’s authorisation number must be entered in the space provided. If the declaration is not made by an approved exporter, the wording in brackets should be omitted or the space left blank.
Where the invoice declaration relates, wholly or partly, to products originating in Ceuta and Melilla within the meaning of Article 38 of the Protocol, the exporter must clearly indicate this by inserting the symbol “CM” on the document containing the declaration.
This indication is not required where the information already appears on the document itself.
See Article 20(5) of Protocol 4 to the EEA Agreement. Where the exporter is not required to provide a handwritten signature, there is likewise no requirement to state the name of the person making the declaration.
