Binding Origin Information
Binding Origin Information (BOI) refers to the written, binding answer from a Customs authority to a trader interested in ascertaining the origin of a product. The trader can submit a request for a BOI decision to the concerned Customs authority, which must contain a detailed description of the nature and composition of the good. BOI decisions are binding on the holder and on the issuing Customs authority and are valid for specified period of time.
Notably, a BOI decision does not exempt the trader from the requirement to provide proof of origin.
