ASEAN Wide Self-Certification (AWSC) scheme

The First Protocol to Amend the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) which includes Annex 8 - ATIGA Operational Certification Procedure-OCP has entered into force on 21 August 2020. Subsequent to this, AMS during the SEOM Preparatory Meeting for the 34th AFTA Council Meeting held on 22-23 August 2020, taking into consideration the final ratification instrument received, agreed to implement the ASEAN-Wide Self Certification (AWSC) effective 20 September 2020.

AWSC allows exporters who have demonstrated their competence to comply with the ATIGA Rules of Origin requirements, known as Certified Exporters (CE), to self-certify the origin status for their goods on certain commercial documents such as the invoice, bill of lading, delivery order or packing list instead of applying for a paper-based Certificate of Origin (FORM D) or e-Form D.

How to become a Certified Exporter

Step 1 - Check your eligibility

  • Exporter must be a manufacturer or trader registered with MITI through the ePCO system;

  • Know and understand the Rules of Origin in the ATIGA;

  • Has shown a substantial amount of experience in export procedures and good track record of exporting (the product for which authorization to self-certify is being secured) to ASEAN Member States for the last 24 months.

  • Has no record of any Rules of Origin fraud;

  • Has a sound bookkeeping and record-keeping system;

  • Has shown good compliance as measured by risk management rules where the product Cost Analysis (CA) approval is valid for at least 12 months from the date of appointment; and

  • A trader must have:

    • a “manufacturer’s declaration” indicating the origin of the product to be subject to self-certification and readiness of the manufacturer to cooperate in retroactive check and verification visit should the need arise; and

    • a “trader’s declaration” proving that he/she has a staff competent on ROO, a sound bookkeeping and record-keeping system, and readiness to cooperate in retroactive check/verification mechanism should the need arise.

Step 2 - Apply as a Certified Exporter

  • Submit your application by filling up the AWSC Certified Exporter Application Form and Appendix A – Product Information Form and email to atiga.selfcert@miti.gov.my.

  • Applicants will be informed of the result after the evaluation process has completed.

  • Appointed CE will be given an authorisation in writing, to self-certify the origin status for their goods and be granted with an authorisation code which must be included in the Origin Declaration.

  • CE may proceed to self-certify and make an Origin Declaration only for the goods that the CE has been authorised to make and for which the CE has all appropriate documents proving the originating status.

 

Note: Certified Exporters under SCPP1 will be re-evaluated under the new criteria within the period of 20 September until 31 December 2020. Other exporters who are interested may apply starting
1 January 2021.

Step 3 - Continue to observe all the obligations as a CE

  • Apply for the necessary Cost Analysis approval from MITI (CA validity is 2 years from date of approval);

  • Report to MITI on numbers of Commercial Invoice Declaration on quarterly basis before 5th of April, July, October and January;

  • Keep and maintain up-to-date accurate books and records for at least 3 years;

  • Extend full co-operation to MITI and Royal Malaysian Customs when required (retroactive checks and verification visits) including granting access to records and premises;

  • continue to comply with the conditions set out in Rule 12A (2) of this Rule;

  • accept full responsibility for all Origin Declarations made, including any misuse; and

  • promptly inform the Competent Authority of any changes related to the information submitted under Rule 2(4) of the ATIGA OCP.

Which date should I use to declare the shipment date in the Preferential Certificate of Origin (PCO) application?

The shipment date declared in the PCO should be based on the Shipped on Board (SOB) date stated in the Bill of Lading.

Would it be okay if the shipment / export date in the Customs document K2 is different from the date of shipped on board in the Bill of Lading?

The difference in the shipment / export date between Customs document K2 and Bill of Lading is acceptable as MITI takes into consideration that the Royal Malaysia Customs Department (RMCD) allows Exporters to make advance export declaration. 

What should I do if the Preferential Certificate of Origin (PCO) is lost before Customs clearance at the Importing country?

  • Exporter must NOT make a new application for the same consignment to replace the lost PCO as this may invoke confusion and duplication of consignment details at the Importing Party’s side;

  • Exporter is to reprint the approved PCO from the ePCO System and to get endorsement from MITI. The reprinted PCO shall bear “CERTIFIED TRUE COPY” (to be stamped by MITI) in order to differentiate the first original copy and the reissued original CO due to the loss; and
