Q1: Does the washing machine obtain originating status under the Chile-Japan FTA?
NOTA BENE: under this agreement cumulation is a bilateral cumulation but NO FULL CUMULATION IS GIVEN (in other words the system works similar to the diagonal cumulation looked in class)
Rule of origin for the Washing Machine in the Chile-Japan FTA agreement
A change to subheading 8450.11 through 8450.20 from any other heading; or
No required change in tariff classification to subheading 8450.11 through 8450.20,
provided that there is a qualifying value content of not less than 45 percent when the
Build-down method is used, or of not less than 30 percent when the Build-up
method is used.
Q2: Does the washing machine obtain originating status under EU-Japan FTA?
NOTA BENE: under this agreement cumulation is bilateral and full cumulation applies!
NOTA BENE: Explain which of the two alternative rules you use and why (change of classification or the alternative value added proposed)
Rule of origin for the Japanese Washing Machine and for the EU assembly of Part A in the EU-Japan FTA agreement
CTH: change of tariff heading
MaxNOM: maximum level of non-originating product
EXW: ex-works price
RVC: regional value content
FOB=transaction value
Q3: What would have changed if the EU had not granted full cumulation to Japan in the EU-Japan FTA? Would the washing machine originate in Japan without full cumulation?
