How to apply, if your product(s) can enjoy tariff concessions:
 

Under the CPTPP, exporters will simply need to self-certify that the exported product meets the CPTPP rules of origin criteria to qualify for preferential tariff treatment. There is no standardised format for the self-certification, however certain minimum data requirements identifying the goods must be fulfilled. Annex-3B Minimum Data Requirements of Chapter 3’s Rules of Origin and Origin Procedures details the requirements.
