Certificate of Origin Declined (Issues of RoO)
Uganda has declined to recognize the Certificate of Origin for chewing gum manufactured by Kenafric Industries transferred to M/S Glorre International Limited on concern that the manufacturing process does not exceed the provisions in Rule 7 of the EAC Rules of Origin, 2015. Kenya NMC suggests that the process involves the use of machinery and technical expertise. Therefore, the process of manufacturing chewing gum exceeds the provisions under Rule 7 of the EAC rules of origin. - Progress update note
-
The Republic of Kenya informed the meeting that chewing gum manufactured by Kenafric qualifies to be granted preferential tariff treatment by the Uganda Revenue Authority and reiterated that the manufacturing process is substantial and qualifies to be granted tariff treatment.
The Senior Officials noted that the Republic of Uganda wrote to the Republic of Kenya requesting for some information that would guide them to make an informed decision. The meeting also noted that the Republic of Kenya had responded to the Republic of Uganda and Uganda committed to consider response and revert. - Policy or regulatory NTB
