Customs reminder

Enterprises can apply for the certificate of origin under the China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement. The destination countries are Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.

If the destination country is another ASEAN country, the method of applying for the certificate remains unchanged, and the certificate still needs to be manually signed and stamped.
