Origin of goods at Würth Industrie Service

Companies exporting both goods and services are legally required to deal with the origin of goods based on the relevant preferential arrangement. The “origin of goods” refers to the country in which a product was completely extracted or produced. It has to be taken into account that a supplier’s country of production is not necessarily equivalent to the country of origin of the products, because through multiple sourcing primary materials are procured from other countries, which may influence the originating status of the items.

Determining the origin of a product is of extreme significance in international trade. The origin of goods determines, inter alia, the imposition of customs duties or tariff preferences or the application of commercial policy measures. Free trade agreements in particular reaffirm the importance of correct, transparent and continuous administration of origins. Accordingly, globally operating customers within the European Union in particular attach great importance to binding proof of origin in order to be able to correctly declare their own goods and to be able to claim customs advantages.

The companies of Würth Industrie Service also act attractively towards the end customer by means of low import duties. The Group benefits from the independent supply of the foreign companies and direct customers abroad.
