A practical scenario: an aluminium rolling mill in Austria processes recycled aluminium from Chile into coils, which a Swiss supplier then further processes into components. Without cumulation, only the final processing (Switzerland) would count; with cumulation, all processing steps across EFTA states and Chile are credited. Origin cumulation under the EFTA–Chile FTA allows aluminium goods containing inputs from multiple EFTA countries or Chile to qualify as originating products of the final manufacturing country. This streamlines cross-border supply chains in the aluminium sector and enhances tariff preference eligibility.
