Agreements and rules of origin
India cut the basic duty on crude vegetable oil on 24 September: soybean and palm from 10 per cent to 5, sunflower to nil. All in, soybean and palm fell to 11 from 16.5, sunflower to 5.5. Until that day soybean and sunflower landed at the...
Since 1 May a Brazilian exporter shipping into the EU under the interim agreement has two roads to preference. One is a statement on origin made out on the commercial paper, with the exporter's name, CNPJ and signature. The other is the...
Live since September 8. Surtax origin runs on the marking regulations, not the CUSMA rules of origin. Two tests, one declaration line. So CUSMA qualifying exempts nothing. And a US good shipped in from a third country is still caught:...
Nothing is picked here yet. That is why I am reading the origin chapter now: once the fruit is moving there is no afternoon left for paperwork. Since the interim agreement replaced the old certificates, we write our own statement on...
Under EU preference rules, and I read the German customs relay, not the notice itself. The Commission's announcement on cumulation in Mozambique appeared on 8 September, made under Article 4(14) of the EU-SADC origin protocol. Mozambique...

This is fine until somebody opens the file years later. ASEAN's ministers agreed on 19 September that members may apply the amended goods agreement early, voluntarily and reciprocally, from whenever each one notifies, until it enters force...
This is fine until the audit asks why the field says OTH. Since September 14, ACE rejects a copper entry summary that omits the country of cast or the primary country of smelt. The lines caught are 8544.49.10, 8544.42.10, 8544.42.20 and...
This is fine until somebody asks what substantially was supposed to mean. Since 3 September the American drone measure caps duty at 15 percent for goods of Korea, Japan, Taiwan and the European side, but only where an importer certifies...
Ratification landed on 21 September and the agreement commences on 20 October. In the markets I cover it has already become a conversation about rates. The real issue here is not the rate. A new agreement is a new origin file, and this one...
Two digits that, por diseño, decide nothing. That is the part I keep chewing. Published yesterday, live today: a broker or an importer suspended out of the electronic system for an inexact NICO now has a written way back. Rebut the ground,...
