Vietnam exporters must self-verify origin from 2019Viet Nam’s exporters must self-verify the origin of their products that they export to the European Union (EU) from 2019 to be qualified for Generalised System of Preferences (GSP). With the aim of integrating further into the global economy, Viet Nam has joined many free trade agreements (FTAs) that have the self-certification mechanism of origin. Self-certification of origin is a mandatory requirement of the EU for some countries, including Viet Nam. Hai said the ministry would assist enterprises by organising seminars that would provide information on the self-certification mechanism of origin and the training courses for enterprises in self-certifying the origin of goods. At present, the ministry has concentrated on developing a circular guiding enterprises to self-certify the origin of goods exported to the EU.
