As a general rule, to enjoy ACFTA tariff rates your product must originate from ASEAN and/or China. To be classified as originating (For the details of the rules of origin, visit http://www.aseansec.org/accfta tif/annex 3.zip), at least 40% of a product’s local content should have come from ASEAN and/or China. This 40% local content requirement refers to both single country and cumulative content.

 

Now, all you need to do is obtain a Certificate of Origin Form E from the government agency authorised to issue such document. This Form E would certify that the product you are exporting complies with the content requirement.
