Fully utilizing available FTAs can reduce landed costs of goods, thereby improving profitability and product competitiveness in the destination markets. The key to securing these benefits is to understand the qualifying conditions to claim origin status and ensuring that the documentary and operational requirements can be satisfied. With the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) coming into effect after 2015, the luncheon will highlight how businesses could maximize the benefits committed under the AEC to improve product competitiveness in the ASEAN countries, while managing risks of potential issues and challenges by Customs Authorities on declared product classification information from the exporting and importing countries. Main issues to be discussed: · Overview and benefits of Free Trade Agreements (FTA) and why they matter to business. · FTA Opportunities within the SEA region, and specifically to Vietnamese traders. · ASEAN Economic Community. · Trends in Customs audits and areas of challenge. · Update on recent amendment to allow for adjustment of the consumption rate on imported materials – what are its implications.
