The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) is calling on countries to stop rolling out unilateral non-preferential rules of origin and encouraging them to conclude the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Rules of Origin.
Until ratification of WTO rules, the ICC statement recommends that non-preferential rules of origin implemented in the country of manufacture should be accepted by the country of import (“mutual recognition”) and that the origin of a good should be determined only once – regardless of how many countries it is exported to.
