{"data":[{"id":"ghana","type":"rules_of_origin_scheme","attributes":{"scheme_code":"ghana","title":"UK-Ghana Interim Trade Partnership Agreement","countries":["GH"],"footnote":null,"unilateral":null,"fta_intro":"### UK-Ghana Interim Trade Partnership Agreement\n\nThe UK has signed an Interim Trade Partnership Agreement (TPA) with Ghana which is in effect.\n\nThis is a development-focused trade agreement that aims to promote increased trade and investment. The UK’s development-focused trade agreements contribute to sustainable growth and poverty reduction in developing countries.\n\n### What the agreement covers\n\nThis TPA includes provisions on:\n\n- trade in goods (including provisions on preferential tariffs and rules of origin)\n","introductory_notes":"### Note 1\n\nThe list in Annex II to this Protocol defines the conditions required for all products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 4 of this Protocol.\n\n### Note 2\n\n1. The first two columns in the list describe the product obtained. The first column gives the heading number or chapter number used in the Harmonized System and the second column gives the description of goods used in that system for that heading or chapter. For each entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in column 3 or 4. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an \"ex\", this signifies that the rules in column 3 or 4 apply only to the part of that heading described in column 2.\n\n2. Where several heading numbers are grouped together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and the description of products in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rules in column 3 or 4 apply to all products which, under the Harmonized System, are classified in headings of the chapter or in any of the headings grouped together in column 1.\n\n3. Where there are different rules in the list applying to different products within a heading, each indent contains the description of that part of the heading covered by the adjacent rules in column 3 or 4.\n\n4. Where, for an entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in both columns 3 and 4, the exporter may opt to apply either the rule set out in column 3 or that set out in column 4. If no origin rule is given in column 4, the rule set out in column 3 has to be applied.\n\n### Note 3\n\n1. The provisions of Article 4 of this Protocol concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products apply regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these products are used or in another factory in the European Union or in Ghana.\n\n    Example:\n\n    An engine of heading 8407, for which the rule states that the value of the non-originating materials which may be incorporated may not exceed 40 per cent of the ex-works price, is made from \"other alloy steel roughly shaped by forging\" of heading ex 7224.\n    If this forging has been forged in the European Union from a non-originating ingot, it has already acquired originating status by virtue of the rule for heading ex 7224 in the list. The forging can then count as originating in the value calculation for the engine, regardless of whether it was produced in the same factory or in another factory in the European Union. The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of the non-originating materials used.\n\n2. The rule in the list represents the minimum amount of working or processing required, and the carrying out of more working or processing also confers originating status; conversely, the carrying out of less working or processing cannot confer originating status. Thus, if a rule provides that non-originating material, at a certain level of manufacture, may be used, the use of such material at an earlier stage of manufacture is allowed, and the use of such material at a later stage is not.\n\n3. Without prejudice to Note 3.2 where a rule states that \"materials of any heading\" may be used, materials of the same heading as the product may also be used, subject, however, to any specific limitations which may also be contained in the rule. However, the expression \"manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of heading …\" means that only materials classified in the same heading as the product of a description other than that of the product as given in column 2 of the list may be used.\n\n4. When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used.\n\n    Example:\n    The rule for fabrics of headings 5208 to 5212 provides that natural fibres may be used and that chemical materials, among other materials, may also be used. This does not mean that both have to be used; it is possible to use one or the other, or both.\n\n5. Where a rule in the list specifies that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the condition does not prevent the use of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy the rule (see also Note 6.3 below in relation to textiles).\n\n    Example:\n    The rule for prepared foods of heading 1904, which specifically excludes the use of cereals and their derivatives, does not prevent the use of mineral salts, chemicals and other additives which are not produced from cereals.\n\n    However, this does not apply to products which, although they cannot be manufactured from the particular materials specified in the list, can be produced from a material of the same nature at an earlier stage of manufacture.\n\n    Example:\n    In the case of an article of apparel of ex Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System made from non-woven materials, if the use of only non-originating yarn is allowed for this class of article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth – even if non-woven cloths cannot normally be made from yarn. In such cases, the starting material would normally be at the stage before yarn – that is, the fibre stage.\n\n6. Where, in a rule in the list, two percentages are given for the maximum value of non-originating materials that can be used, then these percentages may not be added together. In other words, the maximum value of all the non-originating materials used may never exceed the higher of the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual percentages must not be exceeded, in relation to the particular materials to which they apply.\n\n### Note 4\n\n1. The term \"natural fibres\" is used in the list to refer 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 not spun.\n\n2. The term \"natural fibres\" includes horsehair of heading 0511, silk of headings 5002 and 5003, as well as 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.\n\n3. The terms \"textile pulp\", \"chemical materials\" and \"paper-making materials\" are used in the list to describe the materials, not classified in Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System, which can be used to manufacture artificial, synthetic or paper fibres or yarns.\n\n4. The term \"man-made staple fibres\" is used in the list to refer to synthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of headings 5501 to 5507.\n\n### Note 5\n\n1. Where, for a given product in the list, reference is made to this Note, the conditions set out in column 3 shall not be applied to any basic textile materials used in the manufacture of this product and which, taken together, represent 10 per cent or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used (see also Notes 5.3 and 5.4 below).\n\n2. However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5.1 may be applied only to mixed products which have been made from two or more basic textile materials.\n\n    The following are the basic textile materials:\n\n    - silk,\n    - wool,\n    - coarse animal hair,\n    - fine animal hair,\n    - horsehair,\n    - cotton,\n    - paper-making materials and paper,\n    - flax,\n    - true hemp,\n    - jute and other textile bast fibres,\n    - sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave,\n    - coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres,\n    - synthetic man-made filaments,\n    - artificial man-made filaments,\n    - current-conducting filaments,\n    - synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene,\n    - synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester,\n    - synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide,\n    - synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile,\n    - synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide,\n    - synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene,\n    - synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyphenylene sulphide,\n    - synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyvinyl chloride,\n    - other synthetic man-made staple fibres,\n    - artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose,\n    - other artificial man-made staple fibres,\n    - yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped,\n    - yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester, whether or not gimped,\n    - products 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,\n    - other products of heading 5605.\n\n    Example:\n    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 synthetic staple fibres that do not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used up to a weight of 10 per cent of the yarn.\n    Example:\n    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 origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp), or woollen yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, not carded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination of the two may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the weight of the fabric.\n    Example:\n    Tufted textile fabric of heading 5802 made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and cotton fabric of heading 5210 is only a mixed product 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.\n    Example:\n    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 product.\n\n3. In the case of products incorporating \"yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped\" this tolerance is 20 per cent in respect of the yarn.\n\n4. In the case of products incorporating a \"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 an adhesive between two layers of plastic film\", this tolerance is 30 per cent in respect of this strip.\n\n### Note 6\n\n1. In the case of those textile products which are marked in the list by a footnote referring to this Introductory Note, textile trimmings and accessories which do not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column 3 for the made-up products concerned may be used provided that their weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the total weight of all the textile materials incorporated.\nTextile trimmings and accessories are those classified in Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System. Linings and interlinings are not to be regarded as trimmings or accessories.\n\n2. Any non-textile trimmings and accessories or other materials used which contain textiles do not have to satisfy the conditions set out in column 3 even though they fall outside the scope of Note 3.5.\n\n3. In accordance with Note 3.5, any non-originating non-textile trimmings and accessories or other products which do not contain any textiles may, anyway, be used freely where they cannot be made from the materials listed in column 3.\nFor example (1), if a rule in the list says that for a particular textile item, such as a blouse, yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because they cannot be made from textile materials.\n\n4. Where a percentage rule applies, the value of trimmings and accessories must be taken into account when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated.\n\n### Note 7\n\n1. For the purposes of headings ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, the \"specific processes\" are the following:\n    (a) vacuum distillation;\n    (b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process (2);\n    (c) cracking;\n    (d) reforming;\n    (e) extraction by means of selective solvents;\n    (f) the process comprising all 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;\n    (g) polymerisation;\n    (h) alkylation;\n    (i) isomerisation.\n\n2. For the purposes of headings 2710 to 2712, the \"specific processes\" are the following:\n    1. vacuum distillation;\n    2. redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process (2);\n    3. cracking;\n    4. reforming;\n    5. extraction by means of selective solvents;\n    6. the process comprising all 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;\n    7. polymerisation;\n    8. alkylation;\n    9. isomerisation;\n    10. in respect of heavy oils of heading ex 2710 only, desulphurisation with hydrogen, resulting in a reduction of at least 85 per cent of the sulphur content of the products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method);\n    11. in respect of products of heading 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering;\n    12. 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. 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 shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;\n    13. in respect of fuel oils of heading ex 2710 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than 30 per cent of these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C, by the ASTM D 86 method;\n    14. 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.\n\n3. For the purposes of headings ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, simple operations, such as cleaning, decanting, desalting, water separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur content as a result of mixing products with different sulphur contents, or any combination of these operations or like operations, do not confer origin.\n","cumulation_methods":{"bilateral":["GB","GH"],"extended":["EU","SM","AD","BJ","BF","CV","GM","CI","GN","GW","LR","ML","MR","NE","NG","SN","SL","TG","FJ","PG","WS","SB","CM","KE","BW","ZW","ZA","LS","SZ","MZ","SC","MU","ZA","AG","BS","BB","BZ","DM","DO","GD","GY","JM","LC","VC","KN","SR","TT","GL","NC","PF","PM","BL","TF","WF","AW","CW","SX","AI","BM","KY","FK","GS","MS","PN","SH","ZU","IO","TC","VG"]},"proof_intro":null,"proof_codes":{},"show_proofs_for_geographical_areas":[]},"relationships":{"rules":{"data":[]},"links":{"data":[{"id":"bf965eecf560b5144a17518dcfce6e4b","type":"rules_of_origin_link"}]},"proofs":{"data":[{"id":"51d5082042559c3188fc9c6378a621ca","type":"rules_of_origin_proof"},{"id":"73e7e8502fb49a434bcabafd6298d879","type":"rules_of_origin_proof"}]},"articles":{"data":[{"id":"ghana/packaging","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/sufficiently-worked","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/neutral-elements","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/cumulation-export","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/wholly-obtained-verbatim","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/sets","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/originating_export","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/accessories","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/verification","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/origin_processes","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/wholly-obtained-vessels","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/non-alteration","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/cumulation-import","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/insufficient-processing","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/originating_import","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/wholly-obtained","type":"rules_of_origin_article"},{"id":"ghana/tolerances","type":"rules_of_origin_article"}]},"rule_sets":{"data":[{"id":"15e35e82acbccc2badaec4acbdae671d","type":"rules_of_origin_rule_set"}]},"origin_reference_document":{"data":{"id":"5db9a9d24e5fc7797e773fcd7d631f4f","type":"rules_of_origin_origin_reference_document"}}}}],"included":[{"id":"bf965eecf560b5144a17518dcfce6e4b","type":"rules_of_origin_link","attributes":{"text":"UK-Ghana Interim Trade Partnership Agreement","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-ghana-interim-trade-partnership-agreement","source":"scheme"}},{"id":"51d5082042559c3188fc9c6378a621ca","type":"rules_of_origin_proof","attributes":{"summary":"EUR.1 movement certificate","subtext":"","url":null,"content":"Use form EUR.1 to claim preferential duty rates on goods exported to or imported from countries that have a preferential trading agreement with the European Community.\n\n- [Download a copy of the EUR.1 movement certificate](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eur1-and-eur-med-movement-certificate)\n- [How to complete the EUR.1 movement certificate](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eur1-and-eur-med-movement-certificate/how-to-complete-the-movement-certificate)\n\n#### Procedure for the issue of a movement certificate EUR.1\n\n1. A movement certificate EUR.1 shall be issued by the customs authorities of the exporting country on application having been made in writing by the exporter or, under the exporter's responsibility, by his authorised representative.\n\n2. For this purpose, the exporter or his authorised representative shall fill out both the movement certificate EUR.1 and the application form, specimens of which appear in Annex III to this Origin Reference Document. These forms shall be completed in accordance with the provisions of this Origin Reference Document. If the forms are handwritten, they shall be completed in ink in printed characters. The description of the products must be given in the box reserved for this purpose without leaving any blank lines. Where the box is not completely filled, a horizontal line shall be drawn below the last line of the description, the empty space being crossed through.\n\n3. The exporter applying for the issue of a movement certificate EUR.1 shall be prepared to submit at any time, at the request of the customs authorities of the exporting country where the movement certificate EUR.1 is issued, all appropriate documents proving the originating status of the products concerned as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Origin Reference Document.\n\n4. A movement certificate EUR.1 shall be issued by the customs authorities of the UK or of Ghana if the products concerned can be considered as products originating in the UK, Ghana or one of the other countries or territories referred to in Articles 6, 7 and 8 of this Origin Reference Document and fulfil the other requirements of this Origin Reference Document.\n\n5. The issuing customs authorities shall take any steps necessary to verify the originating status of the products and the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Origin Reference Document. For this purpose, they shall have the right to call for any evidence and to carry out any inspection of the exporter's accounts or any other check considered appropriate. The issuing customs authorities shall also ensure that the forms referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article are duly completed. In particular, they shall check whether the space reserved for the description of the products has been completed in such a manner as to exclude all possibility of fraudulent additions.\n\n6. The date of issue of the movement certificate EUR.1 shall be indicated in Box 11 of the certificate.\n\n7. A movement certificate EUR.1 shall be issued by the customs authorities and made available to the exporter as soon as actual exportation has been effected or ensured.\n\n#### Movement certificates EUR.1 issued retrospectively\n\n1. Notwithstanding Article 18(7) of this Origin Reference Document, a movement certificate EUR.1 may exceptionally be issued after exportation of the products to which it relates if:\n\n    (a) it was not issued at the time of exportation because of errors or involuntary omissions or special circumstances; or\n\n    (b) it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that a movement certificate EUR.1 was issued but was not accepted at importation for technical reasons.\n\n2. For the implementation of paragraph 1 of this Article, the exporter must indicate in his application the place and date of exportation of the products to which the movement certificate EUR.1 relates, and state the reasons for his request.\n\n3. The customs authorities may issue a movement certificate EUR.1 retrospectively only after verifying that the information supplied in the exporter's application agrees with that in the corresponding file.\n\n4. Movement certificates EUR.1 issued retrospectively must be endorsed with the following phrase:\n\n    \"ISSUED RETROSPECTIVELY\".\n\n5. The endorsement referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article shall be inserted in the \"Remarks\" box of the movement certificate EUR.1.\n\n#### Issue of a duplicate movement certificate EUR.1\n\n1. In the event of theft, loss or destruction of a movement certificate EUR.1, the exporter may apply to the customs authorities which issued it for a duplicate made out on the basis of the export documents in their possession.\n\n2. The duplicate issued in this way must be endorsed with the following:\n\n    \"DUPLICATE\".\n\n3. The endorsement referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article shall be inserted in the \"Remarks\" box of the duplicate movement certificate EUR.1.\n\n4. The duplicate, which must bear the date of issue of the original movement certificate EUR.1, shall take effect as from that date.\n"}},{"id":"73e7e8502fb49a434bcabafd6298d879","type":"rules_of_origin_proof","attributes":{"summary":"Origin declaration","subtext":"","url":"https://www.gov.uk/guidance/get-proof-of-origin-for-your-goods#origin-declaration","content":"An 'origin declaration', given by the exporter on an invoice, a delivery note or any other commercial document describes the products concerned in sufficient detail to enable them to be identified.

An origin declaration may be made out by the exporter when the products to which it relates are exported, or after exportation on condition that it is presented in the importing country no longer than two (2) years after the importation of the products to which it relates.\n\n#### Approved exporter\n\n1. The customs authorities of the exporting country may authorise any exporter (hereinafter referred to as \"approved exporter\") who makes frequent shipments of products under the trade cooperation provisions of the United Kingdom-Ghana Agreement to make out origin declarations irrespective of the value of the products concerned. An exporter seeking such authorisation must offer to the satisfaction of the customs authorities all guarantees necessary to verify the originating status of the products as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Origin Reference Document.\n\n2. The customs authorities may grant the status of approved exporter subject to any conditions which they consider appropriate.\n\n3. The customs authorities shall grant to the approved exporter a customs authorisation number which shall appear on the origin declaration.\n\n4. The customs authorities shall monitor the use of the authorisation by the approved exporter.\n\n5. The customs authorities may withdraw the authorisation at any time. They shall do so where the approved exporter no longer offers the guarantees referred to in paragraph 1, no longer fulfils the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article or otherwise makes an incorrect use of the authorisation.\n"}},{"id":"ghana/packaging","type":"rules_of_origin_article","attributes":{"article":"packaging","content":"Where, under paragraph 5 of Part Two, Section 1, of the Tariff of the United Kingdom, packaging is included with the product for classification purposes, it shall be included for the purposes of determining origin.\n\n{{ Article 9 }}\n"}},{"id":"ghana/sufficiently-worked","type":"rules_of_origin_article","attributes":{"article":"sufficiently-worked","content":"### Sufficiently worked or processed products\n\n1.

In other cases of belated presentation, the customs authorities of the importing country may accept the proofs of origin where the products have been submitted before the said final date.\n\n\n\n## Article 24 - Submission of proof of origin\n\nProofs of origin shall be submitted to the customs authorities of the importing country in accordance with the procedures applicable in that country. These authorities may require that a proof of origin be translated. They may also require the import declaration to be accompanied by a statement from the importer to the effect that the products meet the conditions required for the implementation of the United Kingdom-Ghana Agreement.\n\n\n\n## Article 25 - Importation by instalments\n\nWhere, at the request of the importer and on the conditions laid down by the customs authorities of the importing country, dismantled or non‐assembled products within the meaning of paragraph 2(a) of Part Two, Section 1, of the Tariff of the United Kingdom falling under Sections XVI and XVII or headings 73.08 and 94.06 of HS 2012 are imported by instalments, a single proof of origin for such products shall be submitted to the customs authorities upon importation of the first instalment.\n\n\n\n## Article 26 - Exemptions from proof of origin\n\n1.

In the case of products sent by post, this declaration can be made on customs declaration CN22/CN23 or on a sheet of paper annexed to that document.\n\n2. Imports which are occasional and consist solely of products for the personal use of the recipients or travellers or their families shall not be considered as imports by way of trade if it is evident from the nature and quantity of the products that no commercial purpose is in view.\n\n3. Furthermore, the total value of these products shall not exceed EUR 500 in the case of small packages, or EUR 1 200 in the case of products forming part of travellers' personal luggage.\n\n\n\n## Article 27 - Information procedure for cumulation purposes\n\n1.

The supplier's declaration may be issued on a pre‐printed form.\n\n7. The supplier's declarations shall bear the original signature of the supplier in manuscript. However, where the invoice and the supplier's declaration are issued using electronic data‐processing methods, the supplier's declaration need not be signed in manuscript provided the responsible official in the supplying company is identified to the satisfaction of the customs authorities in the State where the supplier's declaration is issued. Those customs authorities may lay down conditions for the implementation of this paragraph.\n\n8.
