Rules of Origin
"How do rules of origin affect customs duties in Turkey?"
Quick Answer
Preferential origin under FTAs reduces or eliminates duties. Origin is determined by substantial transformation. Certificate of origin documents preferential treatment.
Scope and Legal Distinctions
Origin is not simply the country from which goods were shipped. Preferential origin and non-preferential origin follow different rules, and an A.TR movement certificate does not itself prove origin.
What to Check in Practice
Keep production, supplier and shipping evidence, and select the document required by the actual trade arrangement and product classification.
