These forms of self-certification of origin are submitted to the customs authority by the customs declarant as attachments to the import customs declaration through the e-customs system.

Customs authorities do not require customs declarants to submit a soft copy of self-certification documents of the origin form for the CPTPP and the EVFTA if these documents have been attached on the e-customs system by the customs declarant.

The customs authority checks self-certification documents submitted by customs declarant on the system to determine the origin of goods in accordance with regulations.

The guidance of the General Department of Vietnam Customs based on the provisions of Clause 2, Article 24 of the Law on Customs 2014, stipulated in the CPTPP and EVFTA and guiding documents of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
