How can we be sure that products being imported under a U.S.-Taiwan FTA are really from Taiwan, and not from China?
All FTAs have rules of origin that specify how much content from within the free trade area must be present to qualify a product as originating under the FTA. The U.S. and Taiwan under an FTA would develop detailed rules of origin spelling out how manufactured products and inputs would qualify for FTA duty-free treatment. The rules would be structured to allow some content from outside the FTA to be included in products and supply chains, but they would be intended to ensure that the benefits of the FTA accrue to the FTA parties, and not to those outside the FTA…….
