Line Level

Building on earlier work by Estevadeordal (2000), we construct a synthetic index (R-index) intending to capture the restrictiveness of rules of origin in preferential trading agreements. The R-index is applied to NAFTA and the Single List of the EU's PANEURO system covering all of the EU's preferential trade agreements. The R-index highlights how a common set of rules of origin can affect countries differently depending on their export structures, and how their complexity varies across sectors. Having controlled for the extent of tariff preference at the tariff-line level, the R-index contributes to explain differences in the rate at which preferences are used. Finally, we compute estimates of the compliance costs associated with rules of origin under NAFTA and under PANEURO and find them to be between 6.8% of good value (NAFTA) and 8% (PANEURO).

Preferential Trade

Dengan meningkatnya kompleksitas hubungan kerjasama dan perdagangan antar negara ataupun kawasan, terutama kerjasama berdasarkan perjanjian perdagangan preferensial (preferential trade agreements) yang telah diratifikasi pemerintah Indonesia, maka semakin meningkat pula peran rules of origin. Penelitian ini mengunakan metode kualitatif studi kasus untuk menganalisis pemeriksaan third party invocing, sebagai bagian dari rules of origin, pada SKA ACFTA oleh Pejabat Fungsional Pemeriksaan Dokumen (PFPD). Penelitian ini menghasilkan simpulan, yaitu dalam penelitian atas SKA ACFTA Third Party Invoicing, PFPD memerlukan dokumen pendukung tambahan; dalam hal terjadi ketidaksinkronan antara data dalam SKA tersebut dengan data dokumen pendukung, PFPD perlu melakukan retroactive check; dalam hal arsip database rejection dan retroactive check; staf arsip belum melakukan secara terstruktur. Berdasarkan hasil analisis penelitian tersebut, maka disampaikan saran kepada KPU menyusun database rejection atau retroactive check secara terstruktur sehingga mudah untuk dilakukan analisis, kemudian kepada PFPD agar melakukan analisis bisnis menurut Alexandra (2013) dan prosedur penelitian SKA sesuai panduan WCO terutama terhadap SKA dengan skema third party invoicing, dan kepada Direktorat KIAL agar mengkompilasi kasus-kasus SKA third party dari KPU maupun Kantor Bea Cukai lainnya sebagai referensi dan dibahas dalam pertemuan ACFTA.

Preferential Trading Arrangements

Preferential trade arrangements, and especially free trade agreements, have mushroomed in importance in the 1990s. This has revived research on the effects of these arrangements, both on the welfare of the member countries and those excluded, and on the momentum for further liberalization of the open multilateral trading system. This paper reviews the analyses and evidence to date as to these effects, showing that analytically anything can happen and that, to date, there has been insufficient experience to draw conclusions from empirical evidence.

The key element of the EU's free trade and preferential trade agreements is the extent to which they deliver improved market access and thus contribute to the EU's foreign policy objectives towards developing countries and neighbouring countries in Europe, including the countries of the Balkans. The previous preferential trade schemes have been ineffective in delivering improved access to the EU market. The main reason for this is probably very restrictive rules of origin that the EU imposes, coupled with the costs of proving consistency with these rules. If the EU wants the 'Everything but Arms' agreement and free trade agreements with countries in the Balkans to generate substantial improvements in access to the EU market for products from these countries, then it will have to reconsider the current rules of origin and implement less restrictive rules backed upon by a careful safeguards policy. Governments apply rules to distinguish between foreign and domestic products and to define the foreign origin of a product where some imports receive preferential treatment. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the issue of the rules of origin, and on the "cummulation" of such rules within the EU preferential trade agreements. It does this, firstly, through detailing rules of origin, secondly, by providing a conceptual discussion of the impact of (the cummulation of) rules of origin, and thirdly, by exploring characteristics of preferential trade agreements.
