Does your shipment qualify for AANZFTA?

Have an Avenir expert check the rules of origin & C/O form - free of charge.

Rules of origin to know

  • The origin rulebook was REPLACED under the Second Protocol (Circular 44/2025/TT-BCT, effective 22/08/2025) - re-check the PSR before continuing regular flows.
  • General rule: RVC 40% or CTC; Australian/NZ agricultural goods, dairy and meat usually qualify as wholly obtained (WO).
  • Cumulation across the whole ASEAN + Australia + New Zealand bloc.

Steps to claim AANZFTA preferential duty

  1. 1
    Determine the 8-digit HS code

    Use Avenir’s HS lookup tool or ask an expert.

  2. 2
    Compare AANZFTA vs RCEP vs CPTPP

    Australian/NZ goods can choose AANZFTA, RCEP or CPTPP - compare all three on the code detail page.

  3. 3
    Request a Form AANZ on the new template

    The Second Protocol format applies from 22/08/2025; confirm the partner uses the current template.

  4. 4
    Declare the C/O on the declaration

    Declare at clearance; 1-year supplementary window under Circular 33/2023/TT-BTC.

Post-clearance audit risks & common mistakes

Using the old template/rules after 22/08/2025

The Second Protocol changed the C/O format and the PSR on many lines - old-template C/Os during the transition must be checked against the transitional provisions; errors mean refusal of the preference.

Ignoring CPTPP/RCEP when comparing

Australia and NZ are also CPTPP + RCEP members; the AANZFTA row is not always the lowest.
