Section 1: Background

7.1.9 Preferences from other countries

7.1.1 General

A full explanation of the conditions to be met before goods are eligible for preferential treatment and of the documents required to establish entitlement is in Notice 826.

The EU has a number of preferential trade arrangements with certain individual countries or groups of countries outside the EU. These provide for particular goods originating in the countries concerned to be imported and entered to free circulation at reduced rates of customs import duty. Details of these rates, which are often zero, are shown in column 6 of the Schedule in Volume 2.

Article 220.2(b) of the Union Customs Code (EC Regulation 2913/ 92). It provides you, in certain circumstances, with relief from your liability to pay customs duty on products which were not entitled to the preferential rate of duty claimed at the time of importation. It applies in cases where:

The different countries and groups of countries are referred to at the head of column 6 or in footnotes to the Schedule in Volume 2. An alphabetical list of countries with specific information concerning country codes and preference types is at Section 3 of this Part. The countries eligible under the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) are listed in Section 4 of this Part. Countries within the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP), Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) and countries for which special arrangements exist for sugar are listed in Section 5 of this Part.

-

7.1.3 Preferential Trade Arrangements -

In essence, to be admissible to a preference, imported goods must: 1 be of a description shown in Volume 2 as eligible for the preference; 2 qualify as originating in the preference country in accordance with the origin rules for that preference; 3 have been transported direct from the preference country to the EU; and 4 be covered by a valid proof of origin (preference certificate, or where available a declaration on an invoice or other commercial document).

it can be demonstrated to our satisfaction that the claims to preference were made in good faith.

Entitlement to relief under the good faith arrangements will depend on the circumstances of individual cases. However, you can help yourself to avoid a liability to duty by obtaining documentary evidence which clearly shows that either before or during the period in which the goods were imported you: -

7.1.4 Restrictions on preference

-

For some goods the availability of preferential rates is restricted under tariff quota or ceiling or limited to a certain period of the year. Further details can be found in Part 8 of this Volume.

-

7.1.5 Alternative Reliefs Some countries are eligible for preferential treatment under two separate arrangements. Other non-preferential duty reliefs may also be available eg customs duty suspensions (Part 9 of this Volume). In a few cases it may appear that the preferential rate of duty (in column 6 of the Schedule in Volume 2) is shown as equal to or greater than the full rate of duty (in column 5). Importers should satisfy themselves that their goods are entered at the most advantageous rate for which they are eligible and for which appropriate valid documents are held.

Obtain a copy of the appropriate Customs Notice (see below); Find out the origin rule for the product concerned; Remind your overseas supplier of the rule and ask for written confirmation that it has been met. It would also be prudent to ask your supplier to provide some relevant details that demonstrate compliance with the rule. For example, if you are importing garments ask about the origin of the fabric used;

What else can you do to check that your goods have met the rules: There are a number of things that you can do. For example: -

-

7.1.6 Preference Law

-

Preference Law for all goods is contained in EU Legislation which can be found in the Official Journals (OJs) of the European Union. The Legislation for each preference country or group of countries are listed in Section 6 of this Part.

If you purchase your goods through selling agents in the overseas country you could ask them to provide you with written confirmation that the rules have been met; If visiting the overseas factory you could obtain confirmation at first hand that the rules had been met; or You could obtain Binding Origin Information (BOI) for your products (you can find out more about the binding origin system in Customs Notice 831 Binding Origin Information (BOI) which is available on www.gov.uk). If you suspect the accuracy of any of the information received you could seek further written clarification from your supplier.

7.1.7 Anti-Dumping duties

You should contact the helpline on the telephone numbers available on www.gov.uk import and export general enquiries if, when you have received a response from your supplier, you are still unsure that your goods are entitled to a preferential rate of duty. Allow yourself plenty of time, as it will not always be possible to provide you with an immediate answer.

Preferential arrangements do not affect liability to anti-dumping duties and provisional charges to anti-dumping duty (see Part 6 of this Volume). 7.1.8 Turkey Details of the conditions to be satisfied and the procedures to be used to obtain EU-Turkey preference rates of duty are explained in Notice 812. The rates of duty are set out in column 6 of the Schedule in Volume 2. 1 January 2017

a duty liability arises (a duty demand is issued) for products which are covered by an authentic preference certificate (GSP Form A or EUR1 Movement Certificate) which has been issued by the proper authority in the exporting country (it does not apply to products which are covered by origin declarations on invoices or other commercial documents); and

You should not claim preference until you have completed these checks. If they confirm that any goods which you have imported in the meantime are entitled to a 57

7.1.2 Countries entitled to preference

PART 7

IMPORTANT: Importing under preference carries certain risks. Customs may check goods which are imported at preferential rates of duty. Where any of these checks show that the goods do not qualify you will have to pay duty at the full (non-preferential) rate; NB. Union legislation allows for the collection of back duty for a period of up to 3 years after the goods have been imported.

preferential rate of duty, you can make a belated claim any time up to three years from the date on which the goods were originally entered.

For information on all preferential and non-preferential origin rules: Department for Business Innovation and Skills Europe and World Trade Division 1 Victoria Street London SW1E 6SW Tel. 020 7215 5059

If you are already claiming a preferential rate of duty on goods which have not been subjected to the above checks you should consider whether it would be worthwhile making appropriate enquiries of your supplier. You must stop making claims to preference immediately if the enquiries show that your goods are not meeting the origin rules.

VOLUME 1

PART 7

If you are going to import the same goods over a long period of time you should consider whether there would be any benefit in making regular checks with your supplier to ensure that there has not been a change in the manufacturing process or the origin of the materials and components used, which could affect entitlement to preference. You must again, immediately stop making claims to preference if these checks show that your goods are no longer meeting the origin rules. You can find out more about the “good faith” arrangements and the circumstances in which relief may be granted by reading Customs Notice 826 – Tariff Preferences: Imports.
