Definition & Explanation

The Rules of Origin chapter in the EU–UK TCA determines when a good qualifies as originating in the EU or the United Kingdom, thereby entitling it to the preferential zero tariff the agreement grants to goods with sufficient origin. The key concept is substantial transformation: for each product category, the agreement sets out product-specific rules specifying the required local value-added threshold or the processing stage that must be reached. Exporters prove origin through a statement on origin included in the commercial invoice – EUR.1 movement certificates are largely replaced by this self-certification mechanism under the TCA. Incorrect origin declarations can trigger customs duty reclaims from the importer and, in repeated cases, result in the loss of preferential treatment. For goods with complex international supply chains – such as automotive parts or electronics – compliance requires meticulous documentation of all upstream suppliers.
