Forensic Analysis

DZ requiredSubstance: HIGHAI-derived

Manufacturing is a Qualifying Activity under the 2025 framework. Forensic auditors will verify 'substantial transformation' of chemical precursors. If the activity is deemed 'Distribution' rather than 'Manufacturing', the 0% rate is contingent on the goods being distributed in or from a Designated Zone to a Qualifying Person. For ISIC 2029, the presence of specialized chemical processing equipment and EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) permits is the primary evidence of substance.
