| Abstract | Protectionists in the Congress of the United States have pushed through an amendment to the rules of origin under which assembly and not cutting would be the origin-conferring process. A target in the amendment's sights is the Outward Processing Arrangement (OPA) administered by the Hong Kong Trade Department (HKTD). One well-known protectionist has called the OPA "legalised transshipment". The HKTD requires the issue of a Hong Kong Certificate of Origin (CO) for any apparel that will ship to the US under Hong Kong quota. This is to ensure that to the extent possible apparel which is claimed as of Hong Kong origin is precisely that. |
