11. Indirect Materials.- For determining whether a product originates in a party, any indirect material such as power and fuel, plant and equipment, or machines and tools used to obtain such products shall be treated as originating whether such material originates in non-parties or not, and its value shall be the cost registered in the accounting records of the producer of the export goods.

12. Identical and interchangeable materials.- For the purpose of determining origin of a product, when it is manufactured utilising both originating and non-originating materials, mixed or physically combined, the origin of such materials can be determined by generally accepted accounting principles of stock control applicable or inventory management practised in the exporting party.

13. Certificate of Origin.- Any claim that a product shall be accepted as eligible for preferential tariff treatment shall be supported by a Certificate of Origin as per the specimen in the Attachment to the Operational Certification Procedures issued by a Government authority designated by the exporting party and notified to the other parties in accordance with the Operational Certification Procedures as set out in Annexure III annexed to these rules.

For the purposes of implementing the rules , the following Operational Certification Procedures on the issuance and verification of the AIFTA Certificate of Origin and the other related administrative matters shall be followed:

AUTHORITIES

2. Each party shall provide 11 original sets of, or through electronic means, specimen signatures and specimen of official seals used by their Issuing Authorities, including their names and addresses, through the ASEAN Secretariat for dissemination to the other parties. Any change in names, addresses, specimen signatures or official seals shall be promptly informed in the same manner or electronically.

3. For the purposes of determining originating status, the Issuing Authority shall have the right to call for any supporting documentary evidence or carry out any checks considered appropriate.

APPLICATIONS

4. The exporter and/or the manufacturer of the products qualified for preferential tariff treatment shall apply in writing to the Issuing Authority of the exporting party requesting for the pre-exportation verification of the origin of the products. The result of the verification, subject to review periodically or whenever appropriate, shall be accepted as the supporting evidence in verifying the origin of the said products to be exported thereafter. The pre-exportation verification may not apply to products, the origin of which by their nature can be easily verified.

5. At the time of carrying out the formalities for exporting the products under preferential tariff treatment, the exporter or his authorised representative shall submit a written application for the AIFTA Certificate of Origin together with appropriate supporting documents proving that the products to be exported qualify for the issuance of an AIFTA Certificate of Origin.

6. PRE-EXPORTATION EXAMINATION

(a) The Issuing Authority shall, to the best of their competence and ability, carry out proper examination upon each application for the AIFTA Certificate of Origin to ensure that-

(i) the application and the AIFTA Certificate of Origin are duly completed and signed by the authorised signatory;

(iii) other statements of the AIFTA Certificate of Origin correspond to supporting documentary evidence submitted; and

(iv) description, quantity and weight of goods, marks and numbers on packages, and number and type of packages, as specified, conform to the products to be exported.

(c) In cases where an AIFTA Certificate of Origin is not accepted by the Customs Authority of the importing party, such AIFTA Certificate of Origin shall be marked accordingly in box 4 and the original AIFTA Certificate of Origin shall be returned to the Issuing Authority within a reasonable period but not to exceed two months. The Issuing Authority shall be duly notified of the grounds for the denial of preferential tariff treatment.

(d) In cases where an AIFTA Certificate of Origin is not accepted, as stated in paragraph (c), the Issuing Authority shall provide detailed, exhaustive clarification addressing the grounds for the denial of preferential tariff treatment raised by the importing party.

(a) The AIFTA Certificate of Origin shall be issued by the Issuing Authority of the exporting party at the time of exportation, or within three working days from the date of shipment whenever the products to be exported can be considered originating in that party within the meaning of these rules.

(b) In exceptional cases where a AIFTA Certificate of Origin has not been issued at the time of exportation or within three working days from the date of shipment due to inadvertent errors or omissions or other valid causes, the AIFTA Certificate of Origin may be issued retroactively but no longer than twelve months from the date of shipment, bearing the words “ISSUED RETROACTIVELY”.

11. (a) Notwithstanding anything in sub-paragraph (b) of paragraph 7, paragraph 13 and 14(b), the Issuing Authority of the intermediate party may issue a back-to-back AIFTA Certificate of Origin if an application is made by the exporter of that party while the product is passing through that party’s territory, provided that:

This copy shall bear the date of the original AIFTA Certificate of Origin. The certified true copy of an AIFTA Certificate of Origin shall be issued within the validity period of the original AIFTA Certificate of Origin and on condition that the exporter provides to the relevant Issuing Authority the quadruplicate copy.

PRESENTATION
