Definition & Explanation

Mechanical engineering products under the ASEAN–South Korea FTA require differentiated preference calculation because technical components are often procured across multiple jurisdictions. Customs officers and freight forwarders must assess during shipment or importation whether manufacturing and assembly meet origin requirements—typically via regional value content (RVC thresholds) or change in tariff classification by product chapter. Complex parts such as engines, transmissions, and electronics are evaluated separately; failure to meet the rule for a single subcomponent can exclude the entire machine or trigger preference loss.
