National Rules of Origin Mechanisms Sample Clauses

National Rules of Origin Mechanisms. The effective implementation of the ROO requires that the issuing, authorisation and verification of Certificates of Origin be carried out in a uniform, efficient and transparent manner by the Customs Authorities within each Party. The PICTA makes no requirement that Parties have a national ROO Committee per se but Article 5(2) does stipulate that Parties must establish a mechanism that would be able to provide, on request, a binding ruling on the originating status of goods that are to be imported. Such rulings must be made “within six months”6 of a shipment of these goods and be valid for a period of at least six months after arrival of the first shipment. There is therefore a need for each Party to establish a national system responsible for the administration of the ROO in accordance with the provisions of the PICTA. While the differences in legal procedures, trade volumes and geography among others, make the prescription of a uniform organisational structure to be adopted by all Parties undesirable, it is important that the procedures are transparent, efficient and harmonised to ensure uniform application of the PICTA. A national Rules of Origin Committee for each PICTA Party may be established as part of the National Trade Facilitation Committee. To enhance the predictability of trading under a regional trade agreement, preferential ROO may require Parties to stand ready to issue binding rulings on the originating status of goods before their actual importation from another Party. An importer, exporter or any person may make such requests with a justifiable cause. Copies of such binding rulings are to be made available to all exporters, importers and other PICTA Parties. On request, the PIFS and the ROC must also be provided copies of these binding rulings. 6 Forum Trade Ministers Meeting, Outcomes, Decision 7 (b), Nadi Fiji, 3 July 2003 – which allowed for amendment to the ROO.
