Experts have raised concerns that Vietnamese businesses are slow in preparing conditions to enjoy preferential tariffs in the Viet Nam-EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA).
Local exporters should accelerate the registration of REX codes to enjoy preferential tariffs from the European Union as the EU, Norway and Switzerland would not accept the certification of origin of goods (C/O) form A from the beginning of July.
Viet Nam has gained preferential access to the European Union market
under its reformed Generalised System of Preferences (GSP), according to
the Viet Nam Leather, Footwear and Handbag Association (Lefaso).
