Can I apply for a back-to-back preferential Certificate of Origin (PCO) for my re-export if the goods were imported into Singapore via a different PCO?
In general, the re-export may be eligible for a back-to-back preferential CO issued under a specific Free Trade Agreement (FTA), if it meets the following conditions:
• The FTA Contains a back-to-back preferential CO provision;
• The first exporting country, Singapore, and the final importing country are Parties to the same FTA;
• The goods are imported into Singapore from the first exporting country and re-exported from Singapore to the final importing country;
• The import of the goods into Singapore is covered by a preferential CO issued by the issuing authority in the first exporting country;
• The goods do not undergo any further processing in Singapore; and
• The goods fulfill the relevant requirements in the Operational Certification Procedures of the FTA.
