ASEAN - Australia - New Zealand Free Trade Area (AANZFTA)

Key Benefits
 
  • The AANZFTA is ASEAN’s most comprehensive ASEAN-Plus FTA in force to date. It includes newer areas such as intellectual property, competition and electronic commerce.
  • AANZFTA eliminates tariffs for 90% of the goods traded between ASEAN, Australia and New Zealand. Similar to our bilateral FTAs with Australia and New Zealand, 100% of Singapore’s trade volume with Australia and New Zealand is covered by the AANZFTA.
  • Other tariffs are progressively reduced upon entry into force of the Agreement.
  • Allows for back-to-back shipment of goods within member countries:. AANZFTA originating goods brought into Singapore from member countries and are re-exported within these countries, without any processing in Singapore, can enjoy tariff concessions. Originating products passing through Parties can also retain their originating status.
  • Allows for third-party invoicing of goods:. Customs authorities in the importing countries may accept a Certificate of Origin when the sales invoice is issued from a different country or company exporting the originating goods in various sectors, provided that the good meets the necessary requirement. This invoice can come from countries that are not Parties to this Agreement.
  • Allows for Regional ASEAN Cumulation:. Originating raw materials sourced from FTA Parties can be taken into account when assessing the origin criteria of the final product manufactured in Singapore.
  • Safeguards market access and ensures a more predictable operating environment for service suppliers:. Singapore service suppliers seeking to provide their services in these markets can enjoy the same rules and regulations as the local companies in these countries.
  • Includes a robust Investor-to-State Dispute Settlement Mechanism which gives investors greater protection in the form of recourse to dispute settlement in the event of conflict or expropriation.
