“This module helps the learner to understand that, beside the fulfilment of the origin criteria and the procedural requirements (i.e. certification of origin), there is in most cases a third criterion to be fulfilled: the transport rules.

These rules impose an administrative requirement to prevent the circumvention and manipulation of originating goods during transport. The material also demonstrates that these rules vary.

The rules require a good to be transported directly or allow it to be transported through FTA partner territories or via a non-contracting country under certain circumstances. A quiz is also included to test your knowledge.”
