<h1>Customs Manual 2023: Harmonization Work Programme to Standardize Rules of Origin for Preferential Trade Agreements</h1> The Harmonization Work Programme (HWP) under the Customs Manual 2023 aims to standardize rules of origin related to Preferential Trade Agreements. Initially set for completion by July 1998, the deadline was extended to November 1999 due to complexity. Work continues in the WTO and WCO committees. The programme includes eight general rules and three appendices, covering aspects like scope, definitions, and minimal operations. During the transition, members must ensure rules are clear, non-discriminatory, and not trade-restrictive. Rules should be published promptly, and origin assessments must be issued within 150 days, remaining valid for three years unless reviewed.
