<h1>Trade Agreements Lack Harmonized Rules of Origin; Key Criteria Include Originating Criteria, Cumulation, and Verification Mechanisms</h1> The main components of preferential Rules of Origin in existing trade agreements, emphasizing the lack of harmonized rules and the need for customs officers to refer to specific agreements. Key criteria include Originating Criteria, which categorize goods as wholly obtained or substantially transformed, with criteria like Change in Tariff Classification, Value Addition, and Process Rule. Additional provisions such as Cumulation, De-Minimis, and Direct Consignment influence these rules. Proof of Origin is typically required, with specific operational procedures varying by agreement. Verification mechanisms are provided to ensure compliance with the Rules of Origin.
