Overview Resources

The direct transport rule is set out in most, if not all, preferential trade agreements. Watch the video and learn three situations that might result in violation of the rule and the loss of preferential origin of the goods and as a result - the loss of the financial benefits it brings. 

We start with a short overview of the general background for those who are less familiar with the preferential trade agreements (PTAs) and the rules of origin set out in them. Then we proceed to the main part to discuss how to comply with the direct transport rule in case the goods - on the way from exporting to the importing country - are unloaded and stored in a third country in a warehouse for some time. And finally, we overview two judgements of courts (European Court of Justice and a court in Lithuania) related to the direct transport rule. The content:

  • Why PTAs matter? What are RoO?
  • Direct transport rule. Warehousing in 3rd country (UK-UA PTA)
  • Case-law. Mixing origin (EU GSP). Shipping country (EU ACP)

ICC Genesis: a new approach to origin certification?
20-08-2024

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has recently, after several pilots (amongst others in the Netherlands), launched an online tool for the verification of preferential origin statements. … The tool is named Genesis, after the ancient Greek word for origin, which is also the name of the first book of the Holy Bible and one of the world’s most popular progressive rock bands. So the obvious questions are: how progressive is this tool and does it rock?

This development followed two workshops organised in Côte d’Ivoire in May 2023 with the German Alliance for … Trade Facilitation and under the aegis of the EU-WCO Programme for the Harmonized System in Africa funded by the EU.

Although Türkiye and Israel have had a free trade agreement for many years, Türkiye announced that it would stop all trade … with Israel, to which Israel responded that it intended to abolish the free trade agreement and also impose additional 100% tariffs on imports from Türkiye.
