Origin determination request

💡Points to note when requesting origin determination

・Usage agreement

The reduced tax rate varies depending on the agreement used. Therefore, please check with the destination country to determine which agreement is best for you.

・HS code of export product (6 digits)

Procedures for specific certificates of origin are carried out using the HS code (6 digits) of the exported product.

Although the first six digits of the HS code are universal, the judgment of what the product is may differ depending on the export destination country, and if the judgment differs, the HS code will also differ.

Example) Hair tie → considered as a rubber / considered as a hair accessory

Raw material HS code research

When requesting an origin determination, you must include ingredient information (ingredients list, ingredient HS code, ingredient price, etc.) in the documents you submit to the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The raw materials listed refer to primary materials.

Primary materials are the materials purchased by producers of export products in order to produce those products.

For example, if you purchase an engine and tires to manufacture a car, the engine and tires are primary materials.

Therefore, screws and other engine components are considered secondary materials and, as a general rule, are not listed on application documents.

The above points are important when making a request for origin determination.

We will support you in your HS code research, including how to define primary materials and how to compile HS codes.

Application for certificate issuance
