The issue
The country of dispatch does not by itself establish origin. Preferential duty requires the applicable agreement’s origin conditions and prescribed evidence.
What to prepare
Trace materials, processing and logistics before promising a reduction. Keep manufacturers’ records. Passing through another country does not automatically give goods that country’s origin.
