Preference Rules of Origin

Certain trade agreements allow goods to enter the market with preferential or zero duty, depending on the “origin” of their goods.

For example, if 50% of the good is domestically made, it will have favoured access to S. Korea. As members of the EU, European content counts as domestically sourced, so Brexit will have significant implications.

The learner will know:
