Self certification of goods origin according to ATIGA, EVFTA và CPTPP

Abstract

Vietnam has actively participated in many Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), including the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA), the Vietnam - EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Besides potential opportunities, Vietnam must meet the conditions on rules of origin as well as requirements on procedures of orders and certification of goods origin. The following study examines a related aspect that is the self certification of origin in the aforementioned FTAs, the difficulties that Vietnam faces when implementing this form and proposes some recommendations.
