Provided that,-
(a) the accessories, spare parts or tools are not invoiced separately from the good;
(b) the quantities and value of the accessories, spare parts or tools are standard trade practice for the good in the domestic market of the exporting State party; and,

Provided further the accounting method shall be recorded, applied and maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the territory of the State party in which the product is manufactured and such method chosen shall,-
(a) permit a clear distinction to be made between originating and non-originating materials acquired whether kept in stock or not; and,

14. Direct Consignment.- (1) The preferential tariff treatment under the agreement shall be applied to a good satisfying the requirements of these rules and which is transported directly between the territories of the exporting State party and the importing State party.

2. Conferring of origin.- (1) Goods referred to in sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 1 and any subsequent amendments, which are re-imported as the goods that do not undergo any process beyond operations within the territory of the re-importing State party for export as set out in rule 7 shall be deemed to be originating in the territory of that State party:
Provided that,-

(ii) the value of originating materials exported from the State party is not less than sixty per cent of the total value of materials used in manufacturing the re-imported material or good.
(2) Except as otherwise provided for in this Annexure, provisions of these rules shall be applied mutatis mutandis to the origin conferring of the goods to which exemption from the principle of territoriality under rule 13 applies.
Explanation:- For the purposes of this paragraph, “total value of non-originating input” means the value of any non-originating materials added inside as well as any materials added and all other cost accumulated outside the State party concerned, including transport costs.
3. Specific implementation procedure.- (1) The Certificate of Origin for goods covered by exemption from the principle of territoriality under rule 13 shall be issued by the issuing authorities of the exporting State party in accordance with Annexure-III to the rules;
(2) The issuing authority of the exporting State party shall indicate in the Certificate of Origin that the good is covered by exemption from the principle of territoriality under rule 13;
(3) Except as otherwise provided for in this Annexure, the relevant provisions of Annexure-III shall be applied mutatis mutandis to the goods to which rule 13 applies; and,

4. Special Safeguard.- (1) When a State party determines that there is an increase of importation of a good covered by exemption from the principle of territoriality in rule 13 into the territory of that State party in such quantities and under such conditions as to cause, or threaten to cause, serious injury to its domestic industry, that State party shall be free to suspend the application of exemption from the principle of territoriality under rule 13 to such a good for such a period of time as it may consider necessary to prevent or remedy such injury or threat to cause injury to the domestic industry of the State party;
(2) A State party that intends to suspend the application of exemption from the principle of territoriality under rule 13 pursuant to subparagraph (1) shall notify to the other State party two months in advance of the start of the suspension period and afford the other State party an opportunity to exchange views with it in respect of the proposed suspension;
(3) The period mentioned in subparagraph (1) may be extended:
Provided that, the State party which has taken the action of suspension has determined that the suspension continues to be necessary to prevent or remedy injury;
(4) In critical circumstances, where delay would cause damage which would be difficult to repair, the suspension of the application of exemption from the principle of territoriality under rule 13 under subparagraph (1) may be taken provisionally without two months advance notification to the other State party, on the condition that notification shall be made before such suspension takes effect;
