Many Albanian articles are entitled to preferential treatment in accordance with the General System of Preferences (GSP) scheme without a customs tariff. This scheme includes a list of processed goods, fresh products, jewelry, most types of rugs, some agricultural products and other fish products, as well as many types of chemicals, marbles and minerals.
All products included in the scheme may benefit preferential treatment if they meet the conditions set out in the rules of origin. The certificate of origin is issued by the Albanian customs authorities.
