The origin of goods is not to be confused with their country of dispatch.<\/p>\n
In an international production chain, raw materials, components, assembly and processing may involve several countries. Determining origin becomes both a legal and technical exercise.<\/p>\n
The Binding Origin Ruling (BOR)<\/a> allows an operator to ask the customs authorities to determine a product\u2019s origin against a precisely described sourcing arrangement.<\/p>\n Binding Origin Information may concern preferential or, depending on the trade flows, non-preferential origin. It is not compulsory, but can provide certainty where origin determines reduced customs duties, a trade policy measure or a marking requirement.<\/p>\n Under Article 33 of the Union Customs Code<\/a>, Binding Origin Information is generally valid for three years<\/strong>. It binds both EU customs authorities and its holder, provided the goods and the conditions establishing origin correspond to those described in the decision.<\/p>\n It has no retroactive effect.<\/p>\n The application must therefore be prepared precisely: tariff classification<\/a> of the finished product, the origin and classification of materials, component values, manufacturing stages and their respective locations. The French customs authorities<\/a> also recommend clarifying tariff classification first where it is uncertain.<\/p>\n Binding Origin Information is particularly useful before introducing a new sourcing arrangement, recurring trade flow or operation with significant customs implications.<\/p>\n Does the manufacturing arrangement actually used still correspond exactly to the one assessed by the authorities?<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Binding Origin Information (BOI) can provide certainty about the origin of goods before the issue arises during a customs audit.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3107,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-droit-douanier"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3024"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3024\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3248,"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3024\/revisions\/3248"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdennour-avocat.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Preparing a documented application<\/h2>\n
