What's New with the AANZFTA

Quick Links for Businesses

AANZFTA Product Specific Rules (PSR) are rules that specify that the materials used to produce the good have undergone a change in tariff classification or a specific manufacturing or processing operation or satisfy a regional value content criterion or a combination of any of these criteria. 

While Annex 2 to the Agreement Establishing AANZFTA contains the official PSR data, this PSR Finder is an efficient tool to help users find the rule applicable to each good traded under the AANZFTA, using Harmonized System 2022, with ease.

Traders and exporters can enjoy preferential tariff treatment under the AANZFTA. To avail of this, goods must comply with the AANZFTA Rules of Origin.

The AANZFTA has established a mechanism where exporters could apply and obtain a Certificate of Origin in accordance with the Operational Certification Procedures that would ascertain that the goods being exported to another AANZFTA Party are eligible for preferential tariff treatment.

The AANZFTA Annex on Operational Certification Procedures on the issuance and verification of Proof of Origin under Chapter 3 on Rules of Origin specifies the following:

  • Certificate of Origin shall be issued by an Issuing Authority of the exporting Party, and that any Certificates of Origin issued by a person not included in the list of authorised personnel may not be honoured by the Customs Authority of the importing Party.
  • Declaration of Origin shall be made by an approved exporter authorized by the exporting AANZFTA Party

For this purpose, information related to (i) the Names, Specimen Signatures, Initials and Official Seals of the officials authorised to certify the Certificate of Origin for the AANZFTA; and (ii) list of the approved exporter, can be verified using this password-protected page and are only accessible to authorised customs officials of the importing Party.
