Article 9 Unit of qualification

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

1.

The unit of qualification for the application of this Protocol shall be the particular product which is considered as the basic unit when determining classification using the nomenclature of the Harmonised System.

This means that:

  1. (a)

    when a product composed of a group or assembly of articles is classified under the terms of the Harmonised System in a single heading, the whole shall constitute the unit of qualification;

  2. (b)

    when a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified under the same heading of the Harmonised System, each product shall be taken individually when applying this Protocol.

2.

Where, under General Rule 5 of the Harmonised System, packaging is included with the product for classification purposes, it must be included for the purposes of determining origin.
