PTAs for all agencies and all products. This is

What is the rules of ROO?

Rules of origin are the criteria needed to determine the

national source of a product. Their importance is derived

from the fact that duties and restrictions in several cases

depend upon the source of imports.

There is wide variation in the practice of governments

with regard to the rules of origin. While the requirement of

substantial transformation is universally recognized, some

governments apply the criterion of change of tariff

classification, others the ad valorem percentage criterion

and yet others the criterion of manufacturing or

processing operation. In a globalizing world it has

become even more important that a degree of

harmonization is achieved in these practices of Members

in implementing such a requirement.
