My goods will be exported to Taiwan. Do I have to declare the certificate item FOB value/quantity/description?
Under the AGREEMENT BETWEEN SINGAPORE AND THE SEPARATE CUSTOMS TERRITORY OF TAIWAN, PENGHU, KINMEN AND MATSU ON ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP (ASTEP), exporters or producers are allowed to self-certify the originating status of their goods under the respective FTA based on information available so that preferential tariff treatment is accorded for the goods imported. Self-certifying requires either the exporters or producers to make an origin declaration on a commercial document such as the commercial invoice, packing list, delivery note or bill of lading.
The onus lies on the entity issuing the origin declaration to familiarise themselves with the Rules of Origin requirements and to certify that the goods being imported do meet the relevant criteria to be originating under the ASTEP.
For more information, please refer to Circular No. 06/2014.
