About this video

An explanation of origin rules in the EAEU: Articles 28–29 of the EAEU Customs Code, substantial transformation, simple assembly and the risk that customs will reject the declared origin. The applicable product and agreement-specific origin rules also matter.

Practical examples explain why a made-in label has legal and commercial consequences for duties, tariff preferences and sanctions screening. It is not simply a geographical description.

Topics covered

  • Articles 28–29 of the EAEU Customs Code and the applicable substantial-transformation rules
  • simple assembly and why it may be insufficient to confer origin
  • CT-1, EUR.1 and Form A certificates: where they apply and when they do not establish a preference
  • how an origin error can affect tariff preferences and exposure to anti-dumping duties
