Does your shipment qualify for VN–EAEU?

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 CTC; the PSR was updated to HS 2022 by Circular 01/2024/TT-BCT.
  • The two sides exchange electronic origin data between customs to verify EAV C/Os - keep declared information consistent, cross-checks are easy.
  • Payment/transport on Russian routes is affected by international sanctions - this impacts the transport documents used to prove direct transport.

Steps to claim VN–EAEU preferential duty

  1. 1
    Determine the 8-digit HS code

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

  2. 2
    Compare the VN–EAEU rate vs MFN

    Many agricultural, fertiliser and steel lines from the EAEU carry a meaningful gap - check the specific line on the code detail page.

  3. 3
    Request a Form EAV C/O

    Review the draft: origin criterion, transport route, buyer/seller details.

  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

Complex routings breaking the document chain

Russian/EAEU cargo currently detours through multiple countries - every transshipment point needs kept-intact evidence; a gap breaks the direct-transport condition.

C/O details differing from the electronic data

The two customs administrations cross-check electronic origin data; a paper C/O that differs from the transmitted data is immediately questioned.
