What is C/O form E understood as?
What is C/O form E? C/O form E is a certificate used for goods imported from China into the ASEAN market and enjoy tax incentives under the ACFTA Agreement. It helps confirm whether the shipment is entitled to tax incentives in accordance with commitments in the ASEAN-China Agreement (ACFTA).
C/O Form E is used for goods imported from China into the ASEAN market and enjoy tax incentives under the Framework Agreement on Comprehensive Economic Cooperation between ASEAN and China (ACFTA). The main purpose of C/O form E is to confirm the origin of goods to see if the shipment is entitled to tax incentives as committed in the Agreement. This means that the import tax rate will depend on each item and is based on the HS Code. Similarly, the C/O Form E form will also confirm whether the goods originate from Vietnam or ASEAN. Thanks to that, Chinese importers will also enjoy similar tariff incentives when importing goods into the country.
When making C/O form E, there will be some common errors that need to be handled such as:
- Not eligible for invoices issued at a third party;
- Missing the “Issued Restructively” check mark when the CO issuance date is more than 3 days after the train runs;
- CO form E authorization: because some manufacturers in China do not have the function to apply for CO, but must authorize the service company to apply for CO and carry out export procedures. According to Chinese regulations, the authorized person must be named on the C/O form E (not the actual exporter). But in Vietnam, in this case the CO will be considered invalid (official dispatch 5467/TCHQ-GSQL mentioned above);
- The data on the CO does not match other documents, such as Invoice number/date, value of goods, train departure date... These errors need to be carefully checked and compared to correct early, avoiding future consequences. .
