VOM1 means value of the products which have acquired originating status in the territory of a previous Participating State, which shall be calculated on the basis of the customs value determined in accordance with Articles 1 through 8, Article 15, and the corresponding interpretative notes of the Customs Valuation Agreement. VOM2 means value of the originating materials obtained in the territory of the Participating State where working or processing of the finished product has taken place, and the value used as input in working or processing of the finished product in that Participating State, including direct labour cost, direct overhead cost, transportation cost and profit for the finished product. Under the above interpretation, the product shall be considered as a product originating in the territory of the Participating State where working or processing of the finished product has taken place, provided that the sum of VOM1 and VOM2 is not less than 60% of its f.o.b. value. b) The following is added as Footnote 10: RULE 5(b)(ii): INTERPRETATION OF THE TERM DIRECT CONSIGNMENT The provision of Rule 5(b)(ii) of The products have not entered into trade or consumption there shall be interpreted that the products which - 22 -
