What are the rules of origin for apparel?
The European Vietnam free trade agreement has strict rules of origin for garments which specifies that only fabrics produced in Vietnam, the EU and South Korea (which also has a free trade agreement with the EU) can have preferential access to the EU market. In this way, the agreement will not allow products originating in China to enter the EU market via Vietnam. This is the basic apparel rules of origin for the EVFTA.
Latest News: EVFTA – New Chapter and its Upcoming Challenges
As acknowledged EVFTA will create the best changes for Vietnam Garment Industry, all the import duties will become 0% after 7 years & 77% immediately of Garments will become 0% once the agreement’s effected.
Vietnam Garment Industry is now shortaged of supply and have to meet the rules of origin in this free trade agreement. Especially for the EU – the biggest market for Vietnam Garments Industry, therefore, it’s really important that manufacturers must meet the rules of origin from fabrics and if the rules are not guaranteed, the products are not preferential.
About 90% of the materials in Vietnam are being imported from other sources that not belong to the FTA, therefore it’s an obstacle preventing Vietnam Garment Industry to obtain the treatment in the EVFTA.
