Answer 1

Answer:

"rules of origin"

Explanation:

An rule of origin is a criterion chosen by countries or regional blocks to characterize the origin of goods. The Rules of Origin have as their object the determination of the origin of a product, thus considered the place of manufacture or where it has received a substantial transformation. In trade agreements the rules of origin define the conditions under which an importing country may consider a product originating in an exporting country that is a member of that agreement and consequently receive preferential treatment, ie if it benefits from a partial or full reduction in import tax.

An example of a rule of origin can be seen in the question above, where certain textiles are made in the United States, shipped to other countries, combined in making apparel with textiles made in those other countries - and then re-exported back to the United States. States at a lower tariff rate.
