On October 16, 2024, the United Kingdom announced that it has officially completed the ratification procedures for the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
Starting from December 15, 2024, the CPTPP will officially take effect for the United Kingdom. This milestone enables goods traded between Vietnam and the United Kingdom to benefit from preferential tariffs upon meeting the rules of origin requirements under the CPTPP.
It is important to note that the CPTPP Certificate of Origin (C/O Form CPTPP) issued by Vietnam must be completed in English and typed. The content of the C/O must align with the Customs Declaration that has completed customs clearance, as well as other relevant documents such as the bill of lading, commercial invoice, and the origin inspection report (if required).
With its accession to the CPTPP, the United Kingdom officially becomes the 12th member of this trade bloc, joining Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
