An exporter in Fiji applying for a Certificate of Origin (Form A) under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) must first ensure their business is registered and compliant with export regulations. They then complete Form A with details about the exporter, consignee, goods, origin criteria, and invoice information. The form is submitted to the Ministry of Trade, Co-operatives, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Communications for verification. If the goods meet the GSP origin rules, the Ministry certifies the form. The approved certificate then accompanies the shipment to enable the importer to claim preferential tariff treatment.
Step 1: Identify Rules of Origin
|
|
Identify the destination country to determine which trade agreement applies. This ensures the correct Rules of Origin requirements and documentation are followed for preferential access. |
Step 2: Prepare and Submit Your application
|
|
Once origin criteria are met, exporters must complete the GSP Form A required under the trade agreement. This documentation is essential to support the claim for preferential duty treatment at the destination. |
Step 3: Attach Declaration to Shipment
|
|
Include the validated certificate of origin or declaration with the export shipment. This ensures customs authorities in the importing country apply the preferential tariff rates. |
