         (2)   For subsection 153ZLE (3) of the Act, a non‑originating material that does not satisfy the change in tariff classification mentioned in subsection (1) is taken to satisfy the change in tariff classification if:

                (a)    it was produced entirely in Malaysia, or in Malaysia and Australia, from other non‑originating materials; and

               (b)    each of those materials satisfies the change in tariff classification mentioned in subsection (1), including by one or more applications of this subsection.

Part 3                 Regional value content requirement

  

3.1           Regional value content

                          (i)    the expenses incurred in the production of the material, including general expenses; and

                         (ii)    an amount for profit equivalent to the profit that the producer would make for the materials in the ordinary course of trade.

CHAPTER 27
MINERAL FUELS, MINERAL OILS AND PRODUCTS OF THEIR DISTILLATION; BITUMINOUS SUBSTANCES; MINERAL WAXES

 

 

Chapter Note: For this chapter, a "chemical reaction" is a process (including a biochemical process) which results in a molecule with a new structure by breaking intramolecular bonds and by forming new intramolecular bonds; or by altering the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule.


The following are not considered to be chemical reactions for this definition:
(a) dissolving in water or other solvents;
(b) the elimination of solvents including solvent water;
(c) the addition or elimination of water of crystallization.


For heading 2710, the following processes confer origin:
(a) atmospheric distillation - a separation process in which petroleum oils are converted, in a distillation tower, into fractions according to boiling point and the vapor then condensed into different liquefied fractions. Liquefied petroleum gas, naptha, gasoline, kerosene, diesel/heating oil, light gas oils, and lubricating oil are produced from petroleum distillation;

 

 

(b) vacuum distillation - distillation at a pressure below atmospheric but not so low that it would be classed as molecular distillation. Vacuum distillation is useful for distilling high-boiling and heat-sensitive materials such as heavy distillates in petroleum oils to produce light to heavy vacuum gas oils and residuum.
In some refineries, gas oils may be further processed into lubricating oils.

CHAPTER 28
INORGANIC CHEMICALS; ORGANIC OR INORGANIC COMPOUNDS OF PRECIOUS METALS, OF RARE-EARTH METALS, OF RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS OR OF ISOTOPES

 

 

Section VI Note:
1. Chemical Reaction Origin Rule
Any good of Chapters 28 to 38 that is the product of a chemical reaction shall be considered to be an originating good if the chemical reaction occurred in Australia or Malaysia. Notwithstanding any of the line-by-line rules, the "chemical reaction" rule may be applied to any good classified in the above chapters.


Note: For this section, a "chemical reaction" is a process (including a biochemical process) which results in a molecule with a new structure by breaking intramolecular bonds and by forming new intramolecular bonds, or by altering the spatial arrangement of the molecule.


The following are not considered to be chemical reactions for the purposes of determining whether a product is an originating good:
(a) dissolving in water or other solvents;
(b) the elimination of solvents including solvent water;
(c) the addition or elimination of water of crystallization.

 

 

Notwithstanding any of the line-by-line rules, the "chemical reaction" rule may be applied to any good classified in the above chapters.

 

 

2. Purification Origin Rule
For Chapters 28 to 35 and Chapter 38, purification is considered to be origin conferring provided that one of the following criteria is satisfied:
a) purification of a good resulting in the elimination of 80% based of the content of existing impurities;
b) the reduction or elimination of impurities resulting in a good suitable for one or more of the following applications:

(i) pharmaceutical, medicinal, cosmetic, veterinary, or food grade substances;
(ii) chemical products and reagents for analytical, diagnostic or laboratory uses;
(iii) elements and components for use in micro-elements;
(iv) specialized optical uses;
(v) non toxic uses for health and safety;
(vi) biotechnical use;
(vii) carriers used in a separation process; or
(viii) nuclear grade uses.

 

 

3. Mixtures and Blends Origin Rule
For Chapters 30 and 31, heading 3302, subheading 3502.20, headings 3506, 3507 and 3707, the deliberate and proportionally controlled mixing or blending (including dispersing) of materials to conform to predetermined specifications which results in the production of a good having physical or chemical characteristics which are relevant to the purposes or uses of the good and are different from the input materials is considered to be origin conferring.

 

 

4. Change in Particle Size Origin Rule
For Chapters 30 and 31:
a) the deliberate and controlled reduction in particle size of a good, other than by merely crushing (or pressing) resulting in a good having a defined particle size, defined particle size distribution or defined surface area, which are relevant to the purposes of the resulting good and have different physical or chemical characteristics from the input materials is considered to be origin conferring;
b) the deliberate and controlled modification in particle size of a good, other than by merely pressing, resulting in a good having a defined particle size, defined particle size distribution or defined surface area, which are relevant to the purposes of the resulting good and have different physical or chemical characteristics from the input materials is considered to be origin conferring.

 

 

5. Standards Materials Origin Rule
For Chapters 28 to 32, 35 and 38, the production of standards materials is considered to be origin conferring. For the purposes of this rule "standards materials" (including standard solutions) are preparations suitable for analytical, calibrating or referencing uses having precise degrees of purity or proportions which are certified by the manufacturer.

 

 

6. Isomer Separation Origin Rule
For Chapters 28 to 32 and 35, the isolation or separation of isomers from mixtures of isomers is to be considered origin conferring.

 

 

7. Separation prohibition
A non-originating material/component will not be deemed to have satisfied all applicable requirements of these rules by reason of change from one classification to another merely as the result of the separation of one or more individual materials or components from a man-made mixture unless the isolated material/component, itself, also underwent a chemical reaction.
