AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA: APPENDIX IV TO ANNEX 2 ON RULES OF ORIGIN

AS APPROVED BY THE 7TH COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THIS APPENDIX REGARDING WORKING AND

PROCESSING CARRIED OUT ON NON-ORIGINATING MATERIALS THAT CONFERS
ORIGINATING STATUS

GENERAL

Note 1

1.1 The rules set out in Column 3 of this Appendix are the minimum conditions required
for the concerned Products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed
within the meaning of paragraph 2 of Article 6 of Annex 2 on Rules of Origin.

1.2 All examples given in these Introductory Notes are for the purpose of explanation
only. They are not legally binding to State Parties.

Note 2

2.1: The first two columns in the Appendix describe the Product obtained. The first column
gives the Chapter, Heading or Sub-heading as it is used in the Harmonized System (HS).
The second column gives the description of Goods as it is used in the HS for that Chapter,
Heading or Sub-heading. For each entry in the first two columns a rule is specified in
Column 3. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an “ex”,
this signifies that the rules in Column 3 apply only to the part of that Chapter, Heading or
Sub-as described in Column 2.

2.2: Where a Chapter or several Headings are grouped together in Column 1 and the
description of Products in Column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rules
in Column 3 apply to all Products which, under the HS are classified in the Headings of
the Chapter or in any of the Headings or Sub-headings grouped together in Column 1.

AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA: APPENDIX IV TO ANNEX 2 ON RULES OF ORIGIN
AS APPROVED BY THE 7TH COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

2.3: Where there are different rules in Column 3 applying to different within a Heading or
Sub-Heading, each indent contains the description of that part of the Heading or Sub-
heading covered by the adjacent rules in Column 3.

2.4: Where a Chapter, Heading or Sub-heading, in Column 1, or any text of this Appendix,
is in square brackets that is an indication that the rule for that Chapter, Heading or Sub-
heading in Column 3, or that text, is yet to be agreed by the AfCFTA Negotiating
Institutions.

2.5: Where a Chapter, Heading or Sub-heading, in Column 1 has an asterisk, the value
of non-originating materials will be automatically reduced from 60% to 55% threshold at
the end of a five (5) year period starting 1 January 2021.

Note 3

3.1: The provisions of Article 4(b) of Annex 2 on Rules of Origin concerning Products
having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other Products
apply regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these
Products are used or in a factory in another State Party.

Example 1: An engine of Heading 84.07, for which the rule may state that the
value of non-originating Materials which may be incorporated may not exceed
a certain percentage of the ex-works price, is made from ‘other alloy steel
roughly shaped by forging’ of Heading ex 72.24.

If this forging has been undertaken in a State Party from a non-originating

ingot, it has already acquired originating status by virtue of the rule applicable
to Products of HS Chapter 72 in this Appendix. The forging can then count as
originating in the value calculation for the engine regardless of whether it was
produced in the same factory or in another factory in another State Party. The
value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding
up the value of the non-originating Materials used.

2
AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA: APPENDIX IV TO ANNEX 2 ON RULES OF ORIGIN
AS APPROVED BY THE 7TH COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

3.2: The rule in Column 3 represents the minimum amount of working or processing
required and the carrying out of more working or processing also confers originating
status. Conversely, the carrying out of less working or processing cannot confer
originating status. Thus if a rule provides that non-originating material at a certain level of
manufacture may be used, the use of such material at an earlier stage of manufacture is
allowed and the use of such material at a later stage is not.

3.3: When a rule in Column 3 specifies that a Product may be manufactured from more
than one material, this means that any one or more Materials may be used. It does not
require that all the Materials listed must be used.

Example 2: The rule for fabrics of Headings 52.08 to 52.12 provides that
natural fibres may be used and that chemical Materials, among other Materials,
may also be used. This does not mean that both have to be used; it is possible
to use one or the other or both.

3.4: Where a rule in Column 3 specifies that a Product must be manufactured from a
particular Material, the condition obviously does not prevent the use of other Materials
which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy the rule. (See also Note 6.2 below
in relation to textiles).

Example 3: In the case of an article of apparel of ex Chapter 62 made from

non-woven Materials, if the use of only non-originating yarn is allowed for this
class of article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth, even if non-
woven cloths cannot normally be made from yarn. In such cases, the starting
Material would normally be at the stage before yarn, that is, the fibre stage.

processes”:

a) vacuum distillation;

b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process;

c) cracking;

d) reforming;

e) extraction by means of selective solvents.

f) the process comprising all the following operations: processing with

concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralisation
with alkaline agents; decolorisation and purification with naturally active
earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

g) polymerisation;

h) alkylation; and

i) isomerisation.

4.2: For the purposes of Headings 27.10, 27.11 and 27.12, the following are the ‘specific
processes’:

a) vacuum distillation;

b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process

c) cracking;

d) reforming;

AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA: APPENDIX IV TO ANNEX 2 ON RULES OF ORIGIN
AS APPROVED BY THE 7TH COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

e) extraction by means of selective solvents;

f) the process comprising all the following operations: processing with

concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralisation
with alkaline agents; decolorisation and purification with naturally active
earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

g) polymerisation;

h) alkylation;

i) isomerisation;

j) in respect of heavy oils falling within Heading ex 27.10 only,

desulphurisation with hydrogen resulting in a reduction of at least 85 per
cent of the sulphur content of the Products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T
method);

k) in respect of Products falling within Heading 27.10 only, deparaffining by a

process other than filtering;

l) in respect of heavy oils falling within Heading ex 27.10 only, treatment with
hydrogen at a pressure of more than 20 bar and a temperature of more than
250 °C with the use of a catalyst, other than to effect desulphurisation, when
the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a chemical reaction. The
further treatment with hydrogen of lubricating oils of Heading ex 27.10 (e.g.
hydrofinishing or decolorisation) in order, more especially, to improve colour
or stability shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;

m) in respect of fuel oils falling within Heading ex 27.10 only, atmospheric

distillation, on condition that less than 30 per cent of these Products distils,
by volume, including losses, at 300 °C by the ASTM D 86 method; and

AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA: APPENDIX IV TO ANNEX 2 ON RULES OF ORIGIN
AS APPROVED BY THE 7TH COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

n) in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils falling within Heading
ex 27.10 only, treatment by means of a high-frequency electrical brush-
discharge.

4.3: For the purposes of Heading 27.07and 27.13 simple operations such as cleaning,
decanting, desalting, water separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur
content as a result of mixing Products with different sulphur contents, any combination of
these operations or like operations do not confer origin.

TEXTILES

Note 5

5.1: The term “natural fibres” is used in this Appendix to refer to fibres other than artificial
or synthetic fibres. It is restricted to the stages before spinning takes place, including
waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres that have been carded, combed
or otherwise processed but not spun.

5.2: The term “natural fibres” includes horsehair of Heading 05.03, silk of Headings 50.02
and 50.03 as well as the wool fibres, fine or coarse animal hair of Headings 51.01 to
51.05, the cotton fibres of Headings 52.01 to 52.03 and the other vegetable fibres of
Headings 53.01 to 53.05.

5.3: The terms “textile pulp”, “chemical Materials” and “paper-making Materials” are used
in this Appendix to describe the Materials not classified in Chapters 50 to 63, which can
be used to manufacture artificial, synthetic or paper fibres or yarns.

5.4: The term “man-made staple fibres” is used in this Appendix to refer to synthetic or
artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of Headings 55.01 to 55.07.

6
AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA: APPENDIX IV TO ANNEX 2 ON RULES OF ORIGIN
AS APPROVED BY THE 7TH COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

Note 6

6.1: The rules set out in Column 3 shall not be applied to any basic textile Materials, used
in the manufacture of this Product, which, taken together, represent [X] per cent or less
of the total weight of all the basic textile Materials used. (See also Notes 6.3 and 6.4
below).

6.2: However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 6.1 may only be applied to mixed Products
which have been made from two or more basic textile Materials.

The following are the basic textile Materials:

- silk,

- wool,

- coarse animal hair,

- fine animal hair,

- horsehair,

- cotton,

- paper-making Materials and paper,

- flax,

- true hemp,

- jute and other textile bast fibres,

- sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave,

- coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres,

- synthetic man-made filaments, artificial man-made filaments,

- synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene,

7
AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA: APPENDIX IV TO ANNEX 2 ON RULES OF ORIGIN
AS APPROVED BY THE 7TH COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

- synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester,

- synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide,

- synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile,

- synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide,

- synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene,

- synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyphenylene sulphide,

- synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyvinyl chloride,

- other synthetic man-made staple fibres,

- artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose,

- other artificial man-made staple fibres,

- yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether

whether or not gimped,

- yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester

whether or not gimped,

- Products of Heading 56.05 (metallised yarn) incorporating strip consisting of a

core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with
aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of a
transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film,

- other Products of Heading 56.05.

Example 4: A yarn of Heading 52.05 made from cotton fibres of Heading 52.03
and synthetic staple fibres of Heading 55.06 is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-
originating synthetic staple fibres that do not satisfy the origin rules (which may
require manufacture from chemical Materials or textile pulp) may be used up
to a weight of [X] per cent of the yarn.
8
AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA: APPENDIX IV TO ANNEX 2 ON RULES OF ORIGIN
AS APPROVED BY THE 7TH COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

Example 5: A woollen fabric of Heading 51.12 made from woollen yarn of

Heading 51.07 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of Heading 55.09 is a mixed
fabric. Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (which
may require manufacture from chemical Materials or textile pulp) or woollen
yarn that does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from
natural fibres, not carded or combed or other otherwise prepared for spinning)
or a combination of the two may be used provided their total weight does not
exceed [X] per cent of the weight of the fabric.

Example 6: Tufted textile fabric of Heading 58.02 made from cotton yarn of
Heading 52.05 and cotton fabric of Heading 52.10 is only a mixed Product if
the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric being made from yarns classified in two
separate headings or if the cotton yarn used are themselves mixtures.

Example 7: Where the tufted fabric concerned has been made from cotton
yarn of Heading 52.05 and synthetic fabric of Heading 54.07, then, obviously,
the yarns used are two separate basic textile Materials and the tufted textile
fabric is accordingly a mixed Product.

6.3: In case of Products incorporating “yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible
segments of polyether whether or not gimped” this tolerance is [X] per cent in respect of
this yarn.

6.4: In the case of Products incorporating “strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or
of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not
exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of an adhesive between two layers of plastic
film”, this tolerance is [X] per cent in respect of this strip.

Note 7

7.1: Textile Materials, with the exception of linings and interlinings, which do not satisfy
the rule set out in Column 3 for the made-up Product concerned may be used provided

9
AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA: APPENDIX IV TO ANNEX 2 ON RULES OF ORIGIN
AS APPROVED BY THE 7TH COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

that they are classified in a Heading other than that of the Product and that their value
does not exceed [X] per cent of the ex-works price of the Product.

7.2: Without prejudice to Note 6.3, Materials which are not classified within Chapters 50
to 63 may be used freely in the manufacture of textile Products, whether or not they
contain textiles.

Example 8: Where a rule in the Appendix provides that for particular textile
items yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items, such
as buttons, because buttons are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63. For
the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners, even though
slide-fasteners normally contain textiles.

7.3: Where a percentage rule applies, the value of Materials which are not classified within
Chapters 50 to 63 must be taken into account when calculating the value of the non-
originating Materials incorporated.

8.8: Goods of Chapters 30, 31 and 33, shall be treated as originating if the following
occurs in the territory of one or more of the State Parties:

the deliberate and controlled modification in particle size of goods, including micronizing
by dissolving a polymer and subsequent precipitation, other than by merely crushing or
pressing, resulting in goods having a defined particle size, defined particle size
distribution or defined surface area, which is relevant to the purposes of the resulting good

12
AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA: APPENDIX IV TO ANNEX 2 ON RULES OF ORIGIN
AS APPROVED BY THE 7TH COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

and have different physical or chemical characteristics from the input Materials is
considered to be origin conferring.

Rule 5: Standards Materials
