SPECIAL RULES OF ORIGIN
PART I
GENERAL INTERPRETIVE NOTES
1. For purposes of interpreting the rules of origin set out in this Appendix:
(a) the specific rule, or specific set of rules, that applies to a particular heading or
subheading is set out immediately adjacent to the heading or subheading;
(b) the requirement of a change in tariff classification applies only to non-originating

materials;
(c) where a specific rule of origin is defined using the criterion of a change in tariff
classification, and the rule is written to exclude tariff provisions at the level of a
chapter, heading, or subheading, each Party shall construe the rule of origin to
require that materials classified in those excluded provisions be originating for the
good to be originating;
(d) when a heading or subheading is subject to alternative specific rules of origin,

each Party shall consider the rule to be met if a good satisfies one of the
alternatives;
(e) when a single rule of origin is applicable to a group of headings or subheadings

and that rule of origin specifies a change of heading or subheading, each Party
shall interpret the rule such that the change of heading or subheading may occur
within a single heading or subheading or between headings or subheadings of the
group. When, however, a rule refers to a change in heading or subheading
“outside that group,” each Party shall interpret the rule to require that the change
in heading or subheading must occur from a heading or subheading that is outside
the group of headings or subheadings set out in the rule;
(f) reference to weight in the rules for goods provided for in chapter 1 through 24
means dry weight unless otherwise specified in the Harmonized System;
2. For purposes of this Appendix:
chapter means a chapter of the Harmonized System; and
section means a section of the Harmonized System.
