Definition & Explanation

During CETA customs clearance, aluminum products can be recognized as originating goods when raw materials or semi-finished products from one or more origin countries (EU or Canada) are processed and applicable origin rules are met. This diagonal origin cumulation allows suppliers from both territories to participate without repeated tariff barriers. In practice, a Canadian aluminum processor may purchase EU raw aluminum, process it further, and export the finished product as "goods originating in EU/Canada" to claim tariff benefits. This lowers production costs and strengthens regional supply chains.
