In order to ensure a unified approach to determining, certifying and confirming the origin of goods when they are exported from the customs territory of the Union, a harmonized system for determining the origin of goods exported from the customs territory of the Union is applied. If it is necessary to confirm the origin of goods exported from the customs territory of the Union, as part of their import into the territory of a third country, the origin of such goods shall be determined according to the rules established by an international treaty of the Union with such a third party, an international treaty of a Member State with such a third party, an international treaty to which all Member States are parties, or the legislation of such a third country. Only the following non-tariff regulation measures introduced by Member States unilaterally shall be considered: a ban on the export of goods; quantitative restrictions on the export of goods; a permit-based procedure for the export of goods. The following are recognized as goods wholly obtained (wholly produced) in the country: 1) minerals, mineral products and other natural resources extracted from the subsoil of the country, on its territory, in its territorial sea (other waterbody of the country) or from its bed, or from the atmospheric air on the territory of such a country; 2) products of plant origin grown and (or) collected in the country; 3) live animals born and (or) grown (reared) in the country; 4) products obtained in the country from live animals; 5) products obtained as a result of hunting and fishing in the country; 6) products of the marine fisheries and other products of the marine fisheries obtained (caught) outside the territorial sea (waters) of the country by a vessel registered and sailing under the flag of the country; 7) products obtained or manufactured exclusively from the products specified in subparagraph 6, on board of a processing vessel registered and sailing under the flag of the country; 8) products obtained from the seabed or from the subsoil outside the territorial sea (waters) of the country, provided that the country has exclusive rights to the development of the resources of this seabed or subsoil; and 9) electric, thermal and other types of energy produced on the territory of the country.
