Rules of Determination of Origin of Goods under the Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement, (formerly known as the Bangkok Agreement) Rules, 2006 (From Rule 1 to Footnotes)
Certificate of Origin rules under APTA govern issuance, validity, verification, and documentation for preferential tariff claims. Certificates of Origin under APTA must be issued by designated Issuing Authorities on prescribed A4 forms, bear unique reference numbers, be issued at export or within three working days, and are valid for one year; originals must be submitted to Customs within validity, with exceptions for force majeure. Customs may seek retroactive verification from the issuing authority when authenticity or origin is doubtful, may suspend preferential treatment pending verification, and procedural timelines require prompt replies and completion of verification within specified periods, failing which preferential claims may be denied.
