CO FORM EAV – IMPORTANT NOTES ON CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN FORM EAV

If you are exploring or working in the field of import-export and international trade, the Certificate of Origin (CO) is an indispensable document. COs come in various forms such as CO Form A, CO Form D, CO Form E, etc. In this article, Smart Link Logistics will help you understand CO Form EAV and the important details to consider for this form.

1. What is CO form EAV?

The Certificate of Origin form EAV plays a crucial role in the export process from Vietnam to countries like Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia. This essential document allows goods to benefit from tax preferences under the Vietnam-Eurasian Economic Union Free Trade Agreement (VN-EAEU FTA).

The VN-EAEU FTA, or the Free Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the Eurasian Economic Union, was signed on May 29, 2015, in Kazakhstan and came into effect on October 5, 2016.

C/O Form EAV serves a vital function like other Certificates of Origin by proving the origin of goods. Specifically, it verifies the origin for goods exported to member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, helping businesses enjoy tax benefits when exporting to these markets. This helps save costs for both the exporting and importing entities.
