Background
- Preference calculation calculates whether the goods are of EU origin.
- The term “tariff preference” designates preferential handling of goods in import customs clearance.
- The origin of the final product must be verified in order to profit from tariff preferences.
- (Long-term) supplier declarations provide verification of European origin.
- Preference calculation serves to determine the proof of origin for self-manufactured products.
- Existing preferential agreements between individual preference zones and the resulting established preference regulations are also included in the calculation of the preference price.
- The preference calculation must be plausible and documented.
- False preference certificates are viewed as tax offences, resulting in the subsequent imposition of further duties and fines.
