Ministry issues new circular on certificates of origin
The Ministry of Industry and Trade has issued a circular detailing procedures for issuance of certificates of origin (C/Os) and written approvals for self-certification of origin by exporters, a move to decentralize and streamline trade administration.
The circular, effective from July 1, regulates two entities authorized to issue C/Os: the ministry’s Agency of Foreign Trade and organizations authorized by provincial and municipal people’s committees.
