- RCEP Certificate of Origin Application: Apply 7 days in advance for exports to RCEP member states to enjoy tariff reduction (for example,textile tariffs to Vietnam are reduced from 12% to 8%).

Action (A): 1.Verify the parameter classification HS 8458.11.00,which is not included in the list; 2.Apply for FORM A Certificate of Origin to enjoy 3% tariff reduction; 3.Confirm German customs clearance documents in advance.
