Long-term supplier declaration

At Newmatik, we strive to meet the diverse requirements of our customers while adhering to rigorous quality and compliance standards. Occasionally, we are asked to provide long-term supplier declarations regarding the preferential origin of our products. Unfortunately, the nature of our production processes makes it impractical to issue such declarations. Below, we explain the reasons in detail.

Complexity of Determining Preferential Origin

Determining whether a product qualifies for preferential origin is influenced by multiple factors, including:

Product-Specific Variables: Each product's origin is calculated based on the proportion of value added during manufacturing versus the origin of raw materials.
Quantity-Specific Differences: The value-added ratio can vary significantly depending on the production volume.

For example:

For an order of 10 assemblies, if manufacturing costs are €5 and material costs are €10, the preferential origin cannot typically be claimed, as many electronic components are sourced globally, including from non-preferential origin countries like China.
In contrast, for a batch of 100 assemblies with manufacturing costs of €4 and material costs of €2, the preferential origin might be achievable due to the higher proportion of value added locally.

Challenges in Practical Implementation

Providing a long-term supplier declaration would require:

Evaluating the preferential origin status for every assembly and all potential order quantities.
Producing multiple lists showing origin status across different batch sizes. In some cases, the same product might appear on both "eligible" and "non-eligible" lists, depending on the quantity ordered.

This complexity makes the process inefficient and unreliable, which is why we cannot issue a blanket declaration. Instead, we recommend that customers requiring such certifications consult with us directly to explore alternative documentation or solutions.
