(b) produced in a Party exclusively from originating materials from one or more of the Parties; or 
(c) produced in a Party using non-originating materials, provided the good satisfies the applicable requirements set out in Annex 3A (Product-Specific Rules), and meets all other applicable requirements of this Chapter.
