To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to reduce paperwork and other bureaucracy required on issues relating to rules of origin affecting companies exporting to the EU from 2022; and if he will make a statement.
The Government has been clear that leaving the Single Market and Customs Union will result in new customs processes for businesses trading with the EU. The UK has moved to a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) relationship, and Rules of Origin are a standard part of all FTAs.
The Government has secured a number of administrative facilitations, such as self-certification of origin, and, until 31 December 2021, an easement on the need for UK businesses to hold supplier declarations at the time they issue statements on origin, which will considerably reduce the administrative burdens of complying with rules of origin in trade with the EU. The easement on supplier declarations has been introduced to allow businesses time to establish the necessary arrangements to meet the requirements of the agreement.

Under the technical arrangement of the EU-Israel Association Agreement a proof of preferential origin document is required that must contain the postal code and the name of the city, village or industrial zone in which the goods were produced. Where HMRC’s risk assessment indicates that the goods may have been produced in non-eligible locations, HMRC perform physical examinations of goods or check proof documents. HMRC refuse preference where the goods cannot be shown to be produced in an eligible location. HMRC can also request that the Israeli Customs Authorities verify the accuracy of the information provided on the proof of preferential origin document.
HMRC raised verification requests with the Israeli Customs Authorities to confirm that claims to preferential tariff treatment were made in compliance with the EU-Israel Association Agreement and the technical arrangement on:
- 17 occasions in 2017
- 10 occasions in 2018, and
- 7 occasions in 2019.
The number of agricultural consignments imported from Israel claiming preferential tariff treatment under the EU-Israel Association Agreement and checked by HMRC was:
- 52 in 2017
- 70 in 2018, and
- 29 in 2019
In accordance with the terms of EU-Israel Association Agreement and the technical arrangement, when confirming eligibility to preferential treatment, HMRC should only verify the details on the preferential proof of origin. A certificate of marketing standards is not a preferential proof of origin.
