More than 7,200 EUR.1 certificates of origin (C/O) were issued in August for goods exports to the EU worth US$227 million since the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) took effect last month.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) has taken steps to simplify the issuance of certificates of origin (C/O) to assist businesses. When free trade agreements (FTAs) take effect, C/O will help businesses enjoy preferential tariffs.
