Rules of Origin and International Trade Preferences

˝ day workshop - coming soon

The "nationality" of most products is ambiguous as the production of goods is increasingly split between two or more countries as globalisation of production increases. How is the origin  of a product determined? What are the rules? How do I know which forms to use when my customer asks for a certificate of origin?

This workshop is aimed at people involved in import and export who require a working knowledge of origin and preferential market access.
