You do not have to use these documents. Only use them when you can prove the goods are originating and you hold the required evidence.
Originating goods are either:
- wholly produced in the EC; or
- have been sufficiently processed in the EC to be classed as "originating". This means work done elsewhere in the EC can help meet the origin rules.
The origin rules for goods of all Tariff headings are set out in Notices 828 and 829. These may vary according to the Tariff heading and the country to which the goods are exported.
