The UK market for some agricultural goods will be opened to Australia more gradually.\n\nOther provisions cover trade in services, digital trade, public procurement and intellectual property. UK citizens aged under 35 will be able to travel and work in Australia more easily. There are provisions covering technical barriers to trade, and sanitary \u0026 phytosanitary (SPS) measures relating to food safety and animal and plant health. There are chapters on small business, the environment, and animal welfare and antimicrobial resistance.\n","introductory_notes":"# Headnotes to the Annex\n\n1. For the purposes of this Annex:\n\n    (a) “chapter” means the first two digits of the tariff classification number under the Harmonized System 2017;\n\n    (b) “heading” means the first four digits of the tariff classification number under the Harmonized System 2017;\n\n    (c) “section\" means a section of the Harmonized System 2017; and\n\n    (d) “sub-heading” means the first six digits of the tariff classification number under the Harmonized System 2017.\n\n2. The product specific rule, or set of product specific rules, that applies to a particular sub-heading is set out immediately adjacent to the sub-heading.\n\n3. Section, chapter or heading notes, where applicable, are found at the beginning of each section, chapter or heading, and are read in conjunction with the product specific rules of origin and may impose further conditions or provide an alternative product specific rule of origin.\n\n    For the avoidance of doubt, if a product or material is classified differently under HS 2017 and the Goods Classification Table made pursuant to the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 and the Customs Tariff (Establishment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020, contained in Annex 1 to the Tariff of the United Kingdom and interpreted in accordance with Part Two of the Tariff of the United Kingdom, HS 2017 shall be used to classify the product for the purposes of determining which product specific rule, or set of rules of origin, applies to the product and to classify the material for the purposes of determining the application of a product specific rule.\n\n4. A requirement of a change in tariff classification applies only to non-originating materials.\n\n5. If a chapter, heading or sub-heading is excluded as part of a change in tariff classification rule, it means that non-originating materials of that chapter, heading or sub-heading may not be used to meet the change in tariff classification rule. All materials that are excluded must be originating goods.\n\n6. Where a heading or sub-heading is subject to alternative product specific rules, the requirements of this Annex will be considered to be satisfied if a good satisfies one of the alternative rules.\n\n7. If a good is subject to a product specific rule that includes multiple requirements, the requirements of this Annex will be considered to be satisfied for that good only if the good satisfies all applicable requirements.\n\n8. For the purposes of Section B of this Annex:\n\n    (a) “CC” means that all non-originating materials used in the production of the good have undergone a change in tariff classification at the two-digit level;\n\n    (b) “CTH” means that all non-originating materials used in the production of the good have undergone a change in tariff classification at the four-digit level;\n\n    (c) “CTSH” means that all non-originating materials used in the production of the good have undergone a change in tariff classification at the six-digit level;\n\n    (d) “FF” means that the good must undergo a change from fabric that is constructed but not further prepared or finished provided that it is dyed or printed and undergoes at least one preparatory or finishing processes in the territory of one or both of the Parties to render it directly usable; and\n\n    (e) “RVC(X)” means that the good must have a regional value content as calculated under Article 4 (Regional Value Content) of this Origin Reference Document of not less than (X) per cent whether using the build-up method or build-down method.\n\n## Section notes\n\n### SECTION II VEGETABLE PRODUCTS\n\nAn agricultural or horticultural good grown in the territory of a Party is originating even if grown from seed, bulbs, rhizomes, rootstock, cuttings, slips, grafts, shoots, buds or other live parts of plants that are imported from a non-\nParty.\n\n\n### SECTION VI PRODUCTS OF THE CHEMICAL OR ALLIED INDUSTRIES\n\n#### Section Note 1: Chemical Reaction Rule\nNotwithstanding the applicable product specific rules of origin, a good of chapter 28 through chapter 38 that is the product of a chemical reaction satisfies the requirements of this Annex, if the chemical reaction occurs in the territory of one or both of the Parties.\n\nFor the purposes of this rule:\n\n“chemical reaction” means a process (including a biochemical process) which results in a molecule with a new structure by breaking intramolecular bonds and by forming new intramolecular bonds, or by altering the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule.

All costs considered for the calculation of regional value content shall be recorded and maintained in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the territory of a Party where the good is produced.\n\n## Materials Used in Production\n\n1. If a non-originating material undergoes further production such that it satisfies the requirements of this Origin Reference Document, the material shall be treated as originating when determining the originating status of the subsequently produced good, regardless of whether that material was produced by the producer of the good.\n\n2.  If a non-originating material is used in the production of a good, the following may be counted as originating content in determining whether the resulting good meets a regional value content requirement:\n\n    (a)  the value of production of the non-originating material undertaken in the territory of one or both Parties by one or more producers; and\n\n    (b)  the value of any originating material used in the production of the non-originating material undertaken in the territory of one or both Parties by one or more producers.\n\n## Value of Materials Used in Production\n\nFor the purposes of this Origin Reference Document, the value of a material is:\n\n(a)  for a material imported by the producer of the good, the price actually paid or payable for the material at the time of importation or other value determined in accordance with the Customs Valuation Agreement, including the costs incurred in the international shipment of the material;\n\n(b) for a material acquired in the territory where the good is produced:\n\n- (i) the price paid or payable by the producer in the Party where the producer is located;\n\n- (ii) the value as determined for an imported material in subparagraph (a); or\n\n- (iii) the earliest ascertainable price paid or payable in the territory of the Party; or\n\n(c) for a material that is self-produced:\n\n- (i) all the costs incurred in the production of the material, which includes general expenses; and\n\n- (ii) an amount equivalent to the profit added in the normal course of trade, or equal to the profit that is usually reflected in the sale of goods of the same class or kind as the self-produced material that is being valued.\n\n## Further Adjustments to the Value of Materials\n\n1. For an originating material, the following expenses may be added to the value of the material, if not included under Article 6 (Value of Materials Used in Production):\n\n    (a) the costs of freight, insurance, packing, and all other costs incurred to transport the material to the location of the producer of the good;\n\n    (b) duties, taxes, and customs brokerage fees on the material, paid in the territory of a Party, other than duties and taxes that are waived, refunded, refundable, or otherwise recoverable, which include credit against duty or tax paid or payable; and\n\n    (c) the cost of waste and spoilage resulting from the use of the material in the production of the good, less the value of reusable scrap or by-product.\n\n2. For a non-originating material or material of undetermined origin, the following expenses may be deducted from the value of the material:\n\n    (a) the costs of freight, insurance, packing, and all other costs incurred in transporting the material to the location of the producer of the good;\n\n    (b) duties, taxes, and customs brokerage fees on the material paid in the territory of one or both Parties, other than duties and taxes that are waived, refunded, refundable, or otherwise recoverable, which include credit against duty or tax paid or payable; and\n\n    (c) the cost of waste and spoilage resulting from the use of the material in the production of the good, less the value of reusable scrap or by-product.\n\n3. For greater certainty, when a non-originating material is used in the production of a good, the values referred to in subparagraph 2(a) and subparagraph 2(b) of Article 5 (Materials Used in Production) may be:\n\n    (a) deducted from the value of the non-originating material if calculating the regional value content requirement using the Build-Down Method; or\n\n    (b) included in the value of originating materials if calculating the regional value content requirement using the Build-Up Method.\n\n4. For the purposes of this Article, if a cost, expense, or value is unknown or documentary evidence of the amount of the adjustment is not available, then no adjustment is allowed for that cost, expense, or value.\n\n## Recovered Materials and Remanufactured Goods\n\n1. A recovered material derived in the territory of one or both of the Parties shall be treated as originating when it is used in the production of, and incorporated into, a remanufactured good.\n\n2. For greater certainty:\n\n    (a) a remanufactured good shall be treated as originating only if it satisfies the applicable requirements of Article 2 (Origin Criteria); and\n\n    (b) a recovered material that is not used or incorporated in the production of a remanufactured good shall be treated as originating only if it satisfies the applicable requirements of Article 2 (Origin Criteria).\n\n{{ Articles 2 to 8 }}\n"}},{"id":"australia/origin_processes","type":"rules_of_origin_article","attributes":{"article":"origin_processes","content":"## Article 18 - Claims for Preferential Tariff Treatment\n\n1. An importer may make a claim for preferential tariff treatment, based on:\n\n   - (a) a declaration of origin completed by the exporter, producer, or, in the case of an exporter or producer in Australia, an authorised representative of the exporter or producer; or\n\n   - (b) the importer’s knowledge that a good is originating.\n\n2. A declaration of origin:\n\n   - (a) need not follow a prescribed format;\n\n   - (b) must be in writing, including electronic format;\n\n   - (c) must specify that the good is both originating and meets the requirements of this Origin Reference Document;\n\n   - (d) must be attached to, or provided on, an invoice or any other commercial document that describes the goods concerned in sufficient detail to enable them to be identified; and\n\n   - (e) must fulfil the data requirements as set out in Annex I (Data Requirements).\n\n3. A declaration of origin may apply to:\n\n   - (a) a single shipment of a good into the territory of a Party; or\n\n   - (b) multiple shipments of identical goods within any period specified in the declaration of origin, but not exceeding 12 months.\n\n4. A declaration of origin is valid for one year after the date that it was completed or for such longer period specified by the laws and regulations of the importing Party.\n\n5. If unassembled or disassembled products within the meaning of rule 2(a) of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System falling within Sections XV to XXI of the Harmonized System 2017 are imported by more than one shipment, a single declaration of origin for such products may be used on request of the importer and in accordance with the requirements laid down by the customs authority of the importing Party.\n\n## Article 19 - Basis of a Declaration of Origin or Importer’s Knowledge\n\n1. If a producer declares the origin of a good, the declaration of origin must be completed on the basis of the producer having information that the good is originating.\n\n2. If the exporter is not the producer of the good, a declaration of origin may be completed by the exporter of the good on the basis of:\n\n   - (a) the exporter having information that the good is originating; or\n\n   - (b) the exporter placing reasonable reliance on the producer’s information that the good is originating.\n\n3. If an importer of the good makes a claim for preferential tariff treatment on the basis of the importer’s knowledge the good is originating, the claim is made on the basis of:\n\n   - (a) the importer having documentation that the good is originating; or\n\n   - (b) the importer placing reasonable reliance on supporting documentation provided by the exporter or producer that the good is originating.\n\n4. For greater certainty, nothing in paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 shall be construed to allow a Party to require an exporter or producer to complete a declaration of origin or provide a declaration of origin to another person.\n\n## Article 20 - Discrepancies\n\nA declaration of origin shall not be rejected due to minor errors or discrepancies, such as slight discrepancies between documents, omissions of information or typing errors, provided these minor discrepancies or errors do not create doubt as to the originating status of the good.\n\n## Article 21 - Waiver of Declaration of Origin\n\nAn importer, exporter or producer shall not be required to provide a declaration of origin if:\n\n   - (a) the customs value of the importation does not exceed, in the case of Australia, 1,000 Australian Dollars or, in the case of the United Kingdom, 1,000 Pound Sterling, or any higher amount as the importing Party may establish; or\n\n   - (b) it is a good for which the importing Party has waived the requirement or does not require the importer to present a declaration of origin, provided that the importation does not form part of a series of importations, which the customs authority of the importing Party reasonably considers to have been carried out or planned for the purpose of evading compliance with the importing Party’s laws and regulations governing claims for preferential tariff treatment under the United Kingdom-Australia Agreement.\n\n## Article 22 - Obligations Relating to Importation\n\n1. Except as otherwise provided for in this Origin Reference Document, for the purpose of claiming preferential tariff treatment, the importer shall:\n\n   - (a) declare that the good qualifies as an originating good;\n\n   - (b) possess either:\n\n     - (i) a valid declaration of origin; or\n\n     - (ii) documentation that formed the basis for the importer’s knowledge that the good is originating;\n\n   - (c) provide to the importing Party a copy of any declaration of origin and other evidence that the good qualifies as an originating good, if required by the importing Party; and\n\n   - (d) if required by an importing Party to demonstrate that the requirements in Article 17 (Non-Alteration) have been satisfied, provide relevant documents, such as transport documents, and in the case of storage, storage documents.\n\n2. If the importer has reason to believe that the claim for preferential tariff treatment is based on incorrect information that could affect the accuracy or validity of the declaration of origin, the importer shall correct the importation document and pay any customs duty and, if applicable, penalties owed.\n\n3. If the exporter or producer has reason to believe that the declaration of origin is based on incorrect information that could affect the accuracy or validity of the declaration of origin, they shall be obliged to immediately notify the importer in writing of any change affecting the originating status of each good to which the declaration of origin applies.\n\n4. When considering imposing a penalty in relation to a claim for preferential tariff treatment a Party may consider as a significant mitigating factor a voluntary notification given prior to the discovery of that error by the Party and in accordance with paragraph 2 or paragraph 3, provided that in the case of a notification given by an importer, the importer corrects the error and repays any duties owing.\n\n## Article 23 - Record Keeping Requirements\n\n1. An importer claiming preferential tariff treatment for a good imported into the territory of a Party shall maintain, for a period of four years from the date of importation of the good, or such longer period as the importing Party specifies:\n\n   - (a) documentation related to the good’s importation, including any declaration of origin that served as the basis for the claim; and\n\n   - (b) all records necessary to demonstrate that the good is originating and qualified for preferential tariff treatment, if the claim was based on the importer’s knowledge that the good was originating.\n\n2. A producer or exporter that provides a declaration of origin shall maintain, for a period of four years from the date the declaration of origin was issued, or such longer period as the importing Party specifies, all records necessary to demonstrate that a good for which the exporter or producer provided a declaration of origin is originating.\n\n3. An importer, exporter, or producer may choose to maintain the records specified in paragraphs 1 and 2 in any medium that allows for prompt retrieval, including electronic, optical, magnetic, or written form in accordance with a Party’s laws and regulations.\n\n## Article 24 - Determinations on Claims for Preferential Tariff Treatment\n\n1. An importer may be denied a claim for preferential tariff treatment if:\n\n   - (a) the importing Party determines that the good does not satisfy any of the requirements of this Origin Reference Document;\n\n   - (b) pursuant to a verification under Article 4.24 (Verification of Origin) of the United Kingdom-Australia Agreement, the importing Party has not received sufficient information to determine that the good qualifies as originating, or that the importer, exporter, producer, or supplier has failed to comply with any requirements of this Origin Reference Document;\n\n   - (c) the exporter, producer, or importer fails to respond to a written request for information in accordance with Article 4.24 (Verification of Origin) of the United Kingdom-Australia Agreement; or\n\n   - (d) the importer, exporter, or producer fails to comply with any of the relevant requirements for obtaining preferential tariff treatment.\n\n2. If an importer is denied a claim for preferential tariff treatment, they shall be issued with a determination that includes the reasons for the determination by the customs authority.\n\n3. A claim for preferential tariff treatment shall not be rejected for the sole reason that the invoice or other commercial document was issued in a non-party. If an invoice is issued in a non-party, the declaration of origin shall be separate from the invoice.\n\n## Article 25 - Refunds and Claims for Preferential Tariff Treatments after Importation\n\n1. An importer may apply for preferential tariff treatment and a refund of any excess duties paid for a good if the importer did not make a claim for preferential tariff treatment at the time of importation, provided that the good would have qualified for preferential tariff treatment when it was imported into the territory of the Party.\n\n2. As a condition for preferential tariff treatment under paragraph 1, an importer shall be required to:\n\n   - (a) make a claim for preferential tariff treatment;\n\n   - (b) where applicable, provide a copy of any declaration of origin; and\n\n   - (c) provide such other documentation relating to the importation of the good as the importing Party may require, no later than two years after the date of importation.\n"}},{"id":"australia/packaging","type":"rules_of_origin_article","attributes":{"article":"packaging","content":"### Packaging Materials and Containers for Retail Sale\n\nPackaging materials and containers in which a good is packaged for retail sale shall, if classified with the good, be:\n\n- (a) disregarded in determining whether the non-originating materials used in the production of the good have satisfied the applicable process or change in tariff classification requirement set out in Annex II (Product-Specific Rules), or whether the good is wholly obtained or produced; and\n\n- (b) taken into account as originating or non-originating materials, as the case may be, in calculating the regional value content of the good.\n\n### Packing Materials and Containers for Shipment\n\nPacking materials and containers for shipment shall be disregarded in determining whether a good is originating.\n\n### Indirect Materials\n\nAn indirect material shall be considered to be originating without regard to where it is produced.\n\n{{ Articles 13 to 15 }}\n"}},{"id":"australia/cumulation-export","type":"rules_of_origin_article","attributes":{"article":"cumulation-export","content":"### Cumulation of origin\n\n1.\tA good shall be regarded as originating if the good is produced in the territory of one or both of the Parties by one or more producers, provided that the good satisfies the requirements of Article 2 (Origin Criteria) and all other applicable requirements in this Origin Reference Document.\n\n2.\tAn originating good or material of one Party shall be considered originating in the territory of the other Party when used in the production of a good in the territory of the other Party.\n\n3.\tProduction undertaken on a non-originating material in the territory of one or both Parties by one or more producers may contribute toward the originating content of a good for the purpose of determining its origin, regardless of whether that production was sufficient to confer originating status to the material itself.\n\n{{ Article 9 }}\n"}},{"id":"australia/tolerances","type":"rules_of_origin_article","attributes":{"article":"tolerances","content":"1.
