The United Kingdom has entered into the free trade agreements and arrangements set out in the Annex to this Notice (the “Arrangements”). The Arrangements typically provide for administrative cooperation and rules on cumulation of origin. These rules are implemented in UK law through Origin Reference Documents under:

• the Customs Tariff (Preferential Trade Arrangements)(EU Exit) Regulations 2020

• in the case of the Arrangement for import duty on trade in goods from certain British Overseas Territories dated 9 November 2020, the Customs (Tariff-free Access for Goods from British Overseas Territories) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020

This Notice of fulfilment is to indicate that the necessary requirements under each of the relevant Arrangements for cumulation of origin to apply have been fulfilled. Examples of these requirements include but are not limited to: having arrangements on administrative cooperation in place ensuring correct implementation of rules on cumulation agreed under the Arrangements; having a preferential trade agreement in accordance with Article XXIV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade applicable between the countries involved in the acquisition of the originating status and the country of destination under the relevant Arrangement; and publication of this notice of fulfilment.
