Certain trade agreements allow goods to enter the market with preferential or zero duty, depending on the “origin” of their goods.

For example, if 50% of the good is domestically made, it will have favoured access to S. Korea. As members of the EU, European content counts as domestically sourced, so Brexit will have significant implications.

This course will detail an explanation on current preference and non-preference rules of origin, their implications for traders and guidance on how to establish origin.

The learner will know:

• The importance and compliance for origin.
• How to establish non preferential rules of origin
• Preferential rule of origin & origin documentation
• Cumulation of Origin
• Supplier Declarations
