Does your shipment qualify for CPTPP?

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

Rules of origin to know

  • Line-by-line PSR is CPTPP’s main "rulebook" - textiles in particular follow the very strict yarn-forward rule.
  • Self-certification: the document issued by the exporter/producer must contain all mandatory data elements under the agreement (no authority-issued C/O on the import side).
  • Full-bloc cumulation - inputs from any member count; especially useful for Japan – Vietnam – Canada/Mexico chains.
  • UK goods: from 15/12/2024 may choose CPTPP (Decree 13/2025/NĐ-CP) or UKVFTA - compare per line.

Steps to claim CPTPP preferential duty

  1. 1
    Determine the 8-digit HS code

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

  2. 2
    Compare CPTPP with the bilateral agreement for the same partner

    Japan (VJEPA/AJCEP), Australia-NZ (AANZFTA), Chile (VCFTA), UK (UKVFTA) - CPTPP is not always lowest, but its cumulation is the broadest.

  3. 3
    Vet the self-certification document

    Check all mandatory fields (certifier, goods description, origin criterion, validity period) - documents missing a field are refused.

  4. 4
    Declare on the customs declaration

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

  5. 5
    Keep records for 5 years

    The importer bears the burden of proving origin at audit - keep the exporter’s supporting records too if you can obtain them.

Post-clearance audit risks & common mistakes

Self-certification missing mandatory data elements

With no issuing authority in between, format errors are very common: missing origin criterion, missing validity period, unauthorised signatory - all are grounds for refusal.

Textiles failing yarn-forward

Out-of-bloc fabric/yarn (e.g. Chinese) breaks origin even if sewn in a member country - check the line’s PSR before committing.

UK goods claiming the wrong schedule

A CPTPP document claims the Decree 13/2025/NĐ-CP schedule; an EUR.1 UK claims UKVFTA - do not mix the two regimes.

Frequently asked questions about CPTPP

Does CPTPP have an authority-issued C/O?
For imports into Vietnam: not required - the agreement uses exporter/producer self-certification per its schedule. For Vietnamese exports: a CPTPP-form C/O issued via eCoSys is still used during the transition period.
Can UK goods use CPTPP yet?
Yes - the UK’s accession took effect for Vietnam on 15/12/2024; the schedule applies under Decree 13/2025/NĐ-CP (effective 21/01/2025). UK goods therefore have two options: CPTPP or UKVFTA.
Where do I look up 2026 CPTPP rates?
The schedule sits in Decree 115/2022/NĐ-CP (with Decrees 68/2023/NĐ-CP and 13/2025/NĐ-CP for the added members) - look up your HS code on Avenir’s tool.
Who is liable if the self-certification is wrong?
The Vietnamese importer bears the direct consequences: duty reassessment, late-payment interest and mis-declaration penalties under Decree 169/2026/NĐ-CP. Vet the seller’s document as carefully as your own dossier.
