The origin of goods determines the duty rate applicable on import into the European Union. Depending on the country of manufacture and the applicable trade agreement, the rate may differ significantly from the MFN (Most Favoured Nation) rate. Proving preferential origin allows importers to benefit from reduced or zero duties under EU free trade agreements.
