What is the preferential origin of a good?

The rules of preferential origin allow a good to benefit from a reduction or exemption from customs duties, as part of a preferential relationship concluded with the European Union (EU).

The preferential origin of a good can only be determined within the framework of a preferential relationship concluded with the EU. In this case, the framework is the Trade and Cooperation Agreement with the United Kingdom

For more details on determining the preferential origin on a general level, you can consult the guide published by the DGDDI (French General Directorate for Customs):
