Psr Free Trade Agreement
As part of the adjustment of the rules of origin, in addition to changes to the rules of origin framework, a number of changes have been made to other rules and criteria. For example, the definition of transaction price was introduced by the WTO assessment agreement to determine the price of materials under the RVC measure; Encapsulation in the electronics industry has been excluded from the criteria for minimal operations or processes; the simple assembly of products under Chapters 27 (mineral products) and chapters 84, 85 and 90 (mechanical and electronic products) was excluded from the original character; and the definition of “easy” was specified in the SRS. Businesses must consider the additional criteria and the influence these changes will have on the original destination. The updates to Article 136 of Announcement 136 are seen as further improvements to preferential rules of origin under the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement and the implementation of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area. Thailand is also a party to the AANZFTA agreement. Distributors should consider what is the most appropriate agreement for their imported/exported products.

The New Zealand-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement (MNZFTA) was signed on 26 October 2009 in Kuala Lumpur and came into force on 1 August 2010.

Singapore is also a party to the ASEAN-Australia Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA), the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership (P4) and the Trans-Pacific Trans-Pacific Partnership (PPTPP). The rules of origin of the new ANZSCEP protocol contain the largest number of provisions facilitating trade in these agreements and incorporate them into the new CSR timetable as part of the protocol. The Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (P4) is an agreement between Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Singapore and NZ. The P4 agreement, which represents “Pacific 4,” came into force in 2006. Under P4, most tariffs on goods traded between Member States were immediately abolished, with the remaining tariffs expiring (until 2015 for Brunei Darussalam and 2017 for Chile).
