On August 20, Shaoxing Customs issued the first upgraded version of the “China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement Preferential Certificate of Origin.” The certificate was applied for by Gelu Textile Co., Ltd. in Keqiao District, Shaoxing City. The main goods are a batch of polyester-viscose woven dyed fabrics worth US$34,146.43 exported to Vietnam. It is expected that the importing country’s tariff reduction for this batch of goods will be about 29,000 yuan.
On that day, the “Protocol between the People’s Republic of China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on Amending the China-ASEAN Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement” and some of the agreements thereunder was officially implemented.
