The EU’s worldwide network of trade agreements cuts customs duties or removes them altogether.
To benefit from lower or zero duties, certain "rules of origin" need to be respected.
ROSA– the new Rules of Origin Self-Assessment tool in Access2Markets – offers guidance in simple steps to determine the rules of origin for your products.
The interactive guide covers your exports to or imports from*
- Canada
- Central America (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama)
- Colombia, Peru and Ecuador
- Japan
- South Korea
- United Kingdom
- Vietnam
*Further countries to be added soon
