Rules of origin determine when goods qualify for preferential treatment under the India MERCOSUR agreement via value and documentation requirements. These Rules set the origin criteria for preferential tariff treatment under the India-MERCOSUR Agreement: goods qualify if wholly produced, via cumulation of originating inputs, or by meeting a value content test and specified manufacturing requirements. They identify non qualifying minimal operations, address accessories, fungible and neutral materials, sets, packaging and Special Economic Zones, and require Origin Certificates issued by designated authorities based on sworn producer declarations, with specified issuance, validity and record keeping rules. Verification procedures permit information exchanges, investigations, on site visits, and guarantees, with timelines, confidentiality and dispute referral.
