Does your shipment qualify for VCFTA?

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

Rules of origin to know

  • General rule: RVC 40% or CTH; Chilean agricultural goods (fruit, wine, seafood) usually qualify as wholly obtained (WO).
  • Chile is also a CPTPP member - Chilean goods have two preference options; compare per line.
  • South America routings almost always transship - keep full transit documents to preserve the direct-transport condition.

Steps to claim VCFTA preferential duty

  1. 1
    Determine the 8-digit HS code

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

  2. 2
    Compare VCFTA vs CPTPP

    Chile belongs to both - the code detail page shows the two rows; pick the lower one.

  3. 3
    Request a Form VC C/O

    Check the origin criterion and transport details on the C/O against the document set.

  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

Losing the direct-transport condition in transit

The South America–Vietnam route almost always transships; missing kept-intact evidence from the transit port is a common reason C/Os get rejected.

Not comparing with CPTPP

Some CPTPP lines have reached 0% deeper than VCFTA - choosing the wrong one means overpaying duty.

Frequently asked questions about VCFTA

Should Chilean goods use VCFTA or CPTPP?
Compare per line on the code detail page: fruit and wine are often good under both; the differences lie in each line’s phase-down and in the origin rules (CPTPP allows self-certification per its schedule).
Who issues the Form VC?
Chile’s competent authority under the agreement; for Vietnamese exports, bodies delegated by MOIT issue via eCoSys.
Where do I look up 2026 VCFTA rates?
The 2022–2027 schedule is promulgated in Decree 112/2022/NĐ-CP - look up your HS code on Avenir’s tool.
Can a Form VC be submitted late?
Yes, within 1 year from the declaration registration date under Circular 33/2023/TT-BTC.
