Description of the country of origin principle
The country of origin principle states that, where an action or service is performed in one country
but received in another, the applicable law is the law of the country where the action or service is
performed. The opposing principle is the country of reception principle. For example, if a sale of
goods is made over the Internet from a website in France to a purchaser in Italy, the country of
origin principle would be said to apply if French law applied to the transaction, and the country
of reception principle if Italian law prevailed.
Information society services should be supervised at the source of the activity, in order to
ensure an effective protection of public interest objectives; to that end, it is necessary to
ensure that the competent authority provides such protection not only for the citizens of
its own country but for all Community citizens; in order to improve mutual trust between
Member States, it is essential to state clearly this responsibility on the part of the
Member State where the services originate; moreover, in order to effectively guarantee
freedom to provide services and legal certainty for suppliers and recipients of services,
such information society services should in principle be subject to the law of the Member
State in which the service provider is established.
The extent to which the country of origin principle should be applied to provision of services
generally was a main point of political controversy 2 in negotiation of the proposed Services
Directive.
Rules of origin are used to determine the country of origin of a product for purposes of
international trade. There are two common types of rules of origin depending upon application,
the preferential and non-preferential rules of origin (19 CFR 102). The exact rules vary from
country to country.
[edit] Non-preferential
Non-preferential rules of origin are used to determine the country of origin for certain purposes.
These purposes may be for quotas, anti-dumping, anti-circumvention, statistics or origin labeling.
The basis for the non-preferential rules originates from the Kyoto convention[1] which states that
if a product is wholly obtained or produced completely within one country the product shall be
deemed having origin in that country. For a product which has been produced in more than one
country the product shall be determined to have origin in the country where the last substantial
transformation took place.
To determine exactly what was the last substantial transformation, three general rules are
applied:
1. Change of tariff classification (on any level, though 4-digit level is the most common)
2. Value added-rule (ad-valorem)
3. Special processing rule, the minimum transformation is described. For instance, in the
EU non-preferential rules of origin for T-shirts (HS6109), the origin is supposed to be in
the country where the complete making-up was done.[2]
According to the non-preferential rules a product always has exactly one country of origin.
However, the non-preferential rules may differ from country to country; the same product may
have different origins depending on which country's scheme is applied. Usually it is the rules of
the country into which a product is being imported that apply.
[edit] Preferential
Preferential RoO are part of a free trade area or preferential trade arrangement which includes
tariff concessions. These trade arrangements might be unilateral, bilateral or regional (also
sometimes called multilateral) trade arrangements. The rules of origin determine what products
can benefit from the tariff concession or preference, in order to avoid transshipment.
Consumers tend to utilize the country of origin more when they are less involved and less
familiar.[10] Consumers further tend to use country of origin more as a decision tool when they
consider luxury products.[11]
