8.—(1) Where the conditions specified in the table in Part 2 of Schedule 1 refer to a maximum content of non-originating materials, this may be determined by reference to the average ex-works price charged for goods sold, and the average value of the non-originating materials used in the manufacture of the goods, during the reference period.
(2) An exporter who has applied a method of determination set out in paragraph (1) must apply the same method in respect of the fiscal year following the reference period.
(3) But the exporter may cease to apply that method if, during a given fiscal year or shorter period of at least three months, the exporter records that fluctuations in costs or currency rates which justified such a method have ceased.

(5) Where the condition set out in paragraph (4)(b) is not met or, in the case of textile goods, where the conditions set out in paragraph (4)(b) and (c) are not met, the goods are to be regarded as originating from the beneficiary country participating in the intra-regional cumulation from which the largest share of the value of the materials used in the manufacture of the final goods originates.
(6) For the purposes of intra-regional cumulation, these Regulations apply to exports from one beneficiary country to another.
(7) In this regulation—
“intra-regional cumulation” refers to the system whereby a beneficiary country (“C”) may regard qualifying goods from another beneficiary country in the same regional group as goods originating from C in the circumstances described in paragraph (1);

19. If goods exported from a country or territory (“the exporting country”) to another country or territory (“the importing country”) have been returned to the exporting country, they are to be regarded as not originating from the exporting country unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of an HMRC officer that the returned goods—

(4) To enable an HMRC officer to verify that the requirements set out in paragraphs (1) to (3) have been met, the declarant must, if required, provide relevant evidence including any contractual transport documents (including bills of lading), evidence based on the marking or numbering of packages and other evidence related to the goods themselves.
21.—(1) If fungible originating materials and fungible non-originating materials are used in the processing of goods, HMRC may, at the written request of an exporter established in the customs territory of the United Kingdom, authorise the management of the materials in the United Kingdom using the accounting segregation method for the purpose of subsequent export to a beneficiary country within the framework of bilateral cumulation, without keeping the materials on separate stocks.
(2) HMRC may make the granting of the authorisation referred to in paragraph (1) subject to any conditions they deem appropriate but may grant it only if, by use of the method referred to in paragraph (1), it can be ensured that, at any time, the quantity of goods obtained which could be regarded as originating from the United Kingdom is the same as the number that would have been obtained by using a method of physical segregation of the stocks.
(3) If authorised, the method must be applied and its application recorded on the basis of the general accounting principles applicable in the United Kingdom.
(4) The exporter must apply for proofs of origin for the quantity of goods which may be regarded as originating from the British Islands and must, if required, provide a statement as to how the quantities have been managed.
(5) In paragraph (1)—
“bilateral cumulation” has the meaning given in regulation 15(4);
“fungible” means, in relation to materials, materials which, once incorporated into the finished goods—
are of the same kind and commercial quality;
have the same technical and physical characteristics; and
cannot be distinguished from each other.

Regulation 7(1)
1.1. Where the entry in Column 1 is preceded by ‘ex’, the condition in Column 3 applies only to the part of that heading as described in Column 2.
1.2. Where several headings or sub-headings are grouped together in Column 1 or a Chapter number is given and the description of goods in Column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the corresponding condition in Column 3 applies to all goods which are classified in headings of the Chapter or in any of the headings or sub-headings grouped together in Column 1.
1.3. Where there are different conditions in the table applying to different goods within a heading, each indent contains the description of that part of the heading covered by the corresponding condition in Column 3.
1.4. Where Column 3 is split into two sub-columns, the reference to “LDCs” in sub-column (a) is a reference to countries or territories listed as “least developed countries” in Part 2 of Schedule 3 to the Act and the condition set out in sub-column (b) applicable to all other beneficiary countries is also applicable to exports from the British Islands, a British overseas territory, the European Union, Norway or Switzerland to a beneficiary country for the purposes of bilateral cumulation under regulation 15 of these Regulations.
1.5. Where a condition specifies that a good must be manufactured from a particular material, the condition does not prevent the use also of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot meet the condition.
2.1. Agricultural goods falling within Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and heading 2401 (unmanufactured tobacco; tobacco refuse) which are grown or harvested in a beneficiary country are to be treated as originating from that country, even if grown from seeds, bulbs, rootstock, cuttings, grafts, shoots, buds, or other live parts of plants imported from another country or territory.
2.2. In cases where the content of non-originating material in a good is sugar and is subject to limitations, the weight of sugars of headings 1701 (sucrose) and 1702 (e.g., fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, isoglucose or invert sugar) used in the manufacture of the final good and used in the manufacture of the non-originating materials incorporated in the final good is taken into account for the calculation of such limitations.
3.1. The term “natural fibres” as used in the table refers to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres. It is restricted to the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres which have been carded, combed or otherwise processed but which have not been spun. The term includes horsehair of heading 0503, silk of headings 5002 and 5003, wool-fibres and fine or coarse animal hair of headings 5101 to 5105, cotton fibres of headings 5201 to 5203 and other vegetable fibres of headings 5301 to 5305.
3.2. The terms “textile pulp”, “chemical materials” and “paper-making materials” as used in the table describe the materials not classified in Chapters 50 to 63 which can be used to manufacture artificial, synthetic or paper fibres or yarns.
3.3. The term “man-made staple fibres” as used in the table refers to synthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of headings 5501 to 5507.
4.1. Where, in relation to a good in the table, reference is made to this Note, the conditions set out in Column 3 are not to be applied to any basic textile materials used in the manufacture of the good and which, taken together, represent 10% or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used (see also Notes 4.3 and 4.4).
4.2. However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 4.1 may be applied only to mixed goods which have been made from two or more basic textile materials. The following are the basic textile materials:
silk;
wool;
coarse animal hair;
fine animal hair;
horsehair;
cotton;
paper-making materials and paper;
flax;
true hemp;
jute and other textile bast fibres;
sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave;
coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres;
synthetic man-made filaments;
artificial man-made filaments;
current-conducting filaments;
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene;
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester;
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide;
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile;
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide;
synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene;
synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(phenylene sulphide);

yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped;
yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester, whether or not gimped;
goods of heading 5605 (metallised yarn) incorporating strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film;
other goods of heading 5605;
glass fibres;
metal fibres.
Example:
A yarn, of heading 5205, made from cotton fibres of heading 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading 5506, is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating materials which are synthetic staple fibres which do not satisfy the conditions may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10% of the weight of the yarn.
Example:
A woollen fabric, of heading 5112, made from woollen yarn of heading 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading 5509, is a mixed fabric. Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the conditions, or woollen yarn which does not satisfy the conditions, or a combination of the two, may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10% of the weight of the fabric.
Example:
Tufted textile fabric, of heading 5802, made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and cotton fabric of heading 5210, is only a mixed good if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric made from yarns classified in two separate headings, or if the cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures.
Example:
If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is, accordingly, a mixed good.
4.3. In the case of goods incorporating “yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped”, the tolerance is 20% in respect of this yarn.
4.4. In the case of goods incorporating “strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film”, the tolerance is 30% in respect of this strip.
5.1. Where, in the table, reference is made to this Note, textile materials which do not satisfy the condition set out in Column 3 for the made-up good concerned, may be used, provided that they are classified in a heading other than that of the good and that their value does not exceed 8% of the ex-works price of the good.
5.2. Without prejudice to Note 5.3, materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 may be used freely in the manufacture of textile goods, whether or not they contain textiles.
Example:
If a condition in the table provides that, for a particular textile item (such as trousers), yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because buttons are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners, even though slide-fasteners normally contain textiles.
5.3. Where a percentage-rule applies, the value of materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 must be taken into account when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated.
6.1. For the purposes of headings ex 2707 and 2713, the “specific processes” are the following:
vacuum-distillation;
redistillation by a very thorough fractionation-process( 7);
cracking;
reforming;
extraction by means of selective solvents;
the process comprising all of the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralisation with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification with naturally-active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;
polymerisation;
alkylation;
isomerisation.
6.2. For the purposes of headings 2710, 2711 and 2712, the “specific processes” are the following:
vacuum-distillation;
redistillation by a very thorough fractionation-process ( 8);
cracking;
reforming;
extraction by means of selective solvents;
the process comprising all of the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralisation with alkaline agents; decolourisation and purification with naturally-active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;
polymerisation;
alkylation;
isomerisation;
in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 only, desulphurisation with hydrogen, resulting in a reduction of at least 85% of the sulphur-content of the goods processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method ( 9));
in respect of goods of heading 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering;
in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 only, treatment with hydrogen, at a pressure of more than 20 bar and a temperature of more than 250 °C, with the use of a catalyst, other than to effect desulphurisation, when the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a chemical reaction. However, the further treatment, with hydrogen, of lubricating oils of heading ex 2710 (e.g. hydrofinishing or decolourisation), in order, more especially, to improve colour or stability is not to be deemed to be a specific process;
in respect of fuel oils of heading ex 2710 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than 30% of these goods distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C, by the ASTM D 86 method ( 10);
in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils of heading ex 2710 only, treatment by means of a high-frequency electrical brush-discharge;
in respect of crude goods (other than petroleum jelly, ozokerite, lignite wax or peat wax, paraffin wax containing by weight less than 0.75% of oil) of heading ex 2712 only, de-oiling by fractional crystallisation.
6.3. For the purposes of headings ex 2707 and 2713, simple operations, such as cleaning, decanting, desalting, water-separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur-content as a result of mixing goods with different sulphur-contents, or any combination of these operations or like operations, do not constitute an important stage of manufacture.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made as a consequence of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. Regulation 3 sets out the conditions under which chargeable goods are to be regarded as originating from a country or territory under section 17, and for the purposes of Part 1, of the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 (c. 22)(“the Act”). This includes the condition that the goods are to be regarded as originating from a “beneficiary country” namely an eligible developing country to which one or more of the Generalised Scheme of Preferences (trade preference scheme) frameworks specified in Part 3 of the Trade Preference Scheme (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 ( S.I. 2020/1438) apply.
Regulation 3 sets out the conditions that must be met for goods listed in Column 2 of the table in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to be regarded as originating from a beneficiary country. The conditions are that the goods are wholly obtained in that beneficiary country or, where the goods are obtained in two or more countries or territories, that is the last country or territory in which processing of the goods constitutes an important stage of manufacture (for which regulation 7 makes further provision); and that the requirements in regulations 4, 20(1) and, in the case of returned goods, 19 are met (see further below). Regulation 4 provides for the evidence required for goods to be regarded as originating from a beneficiary country. Regulation 5 provides for the notices which HMRC Commissioners may give relating to the provision and verification of evidence of the origin of goods and the arrangements and obligations applicable to an exporter.
Regulation 6 specifies cases in which goods are to be regarded as wholly obtained in a country or territory. Regulation 7 sets out the circumstances in which the processing of goods constitutes an important stage of manufacture by reference to the conditions that must be met as set out in Schedule 1, and the circumstances in which it does not. Regulation 8 provides for the method by which the average ex-works price charged for goods sold, and the average value of non-originating materials used, may be calculated where the conditions specified in the table in Part 2 of Schedule 1 refer to a maximum content of such materials. Regulation 9 provides for a derogation relating to the use of certain materials up to defined weight, price and percentage maxima, in determining under the table in Part 2 of Schedule 1 whether the processing constitutes an important stage of manufacture.
Regulation 10 provides for the circumstances in which identical goods in a consignment must be taken into account individually and packaging must be included in determining the origin of the goods. Regulation 11 provides for the circumstances in which accessories, spare parts and tools dispatched with the goods to which they relate are to be regarded as having the same origin as those goods. Regulation 12 provides for the circumstances in which goods in a set are to be regarded as originating from a beneficiary country. Regulation 13 sets out elements used to process, or in the processing of, goods which are to be disregarded in determining their origin. Regulation 14 provides for the grounds on which the Secretary of State may grant a temporary derogation to a country in respect of specified goods and makes further provision relating to the derogation.
Regulations 15 to 18 make provision relating to different types of cumulation which is the system whereby goods originating from a specified country, or from the British Islands, a British overseas territory (except Gibraltar and the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia), the European Union, Norway or Switzerland in the case of cumulation under regulation 15, are to be regarded as originating from a beneficiary country when incorporated into goods manufactured in that beneficiary country. Regulations 16 and 17 provide for the two types of cumulation, intra-regional and inter-regional, between beneficiary countries in, respectively, the same regional group and different regional groups. Schedule 3 sets out regional groups for this purpose.
Regulation 19 sets out further requirements relating to goods returned to the exporting country or territory and regulation 20 sets out non-manipulation requirements that must be met to satisfy the conditions under regulation 3 for chargeable goods to be regarded as originating from a beneficiary country. Regulation 21 makes provision for the authorisation of the management of exporters’ stocks of fungible materials (as defined in that regulation) using the accounting segregation method.
This instrument is one of a group of instruments covered by an overarching Tax Information and Impact Note. The TIIN primarily focusses on the Customs Tariff (Establishment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 and will be available in due course at:https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tax-information-and-impact-notes-tiins.
The Explanatory Memorandum is being published alongside that Tax Information and Impact Note on the same website. There is no significant impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies as this instrument broadly replicates existing European Union legislation.
