FTA: Main Rule vs Alternative Rule

Many FTAs have main rules as well as alternative rules. Taking the following UAE - MOROCCO FTA FOR HS 8502 as example,

Main Rule:

You must satisfy both:

-Non-originating materials ≤ 40% of ex‑works price

-Non-originating 8501 + 8503 materials ≤ 10% of ex‑works price.

Alternative Rule: Non-originating materials ≤ 60% of ex‑works price

Questions:

  1. Are both modelled as two PSRs?
  2. If yes, does GTM prioritize one over another during evaluation? Let's say there are two PSRs for the same range of HTS and both return true, which PSR will be shown as the reason of qualification? Will both show "Applied" in the Qualification Summary?

Howdy, Stranger!
