RoK to run e-Origin Data Exchange System with Viet Nam by 2023
VGP - The Korea Customs Service (KCS) will run an Electronic Origin Data Exchange System (EODES) with Viet Nam and India from next year, announced the department on July 15.
The EODES allows certificates of origin to be processed through electronic platforms.
Director of the KCS's International Affairs Bureau Kim Jong-ho said that, the KCS has also decided to expand the use of a self-certification system enabling exporters, producers and importers to voluntarily provide proofs of origin of goods.
This will allow parties to quickly correct minor mistakes on certificates of origin and speed up customs procedures, he added.
As of mid-June, 13 ministries and agencies had joined the Viet Nam National Single Window (NSW) which provided 249 administrative procedures and digitalized 4.92 million applications from over 54,800 enterprises, according to the Viet Nam Customs.
Viet Nam continued to effectively implement the ASEAN Single Window with all nine bloc's member states to exchange information of certificates of origin (Form D).
The testing of connection techniques and the exchange of test messages on export customs declarations was completed with the Eurasian Economic Union.
Viet Nam is negotiating technical requirements for building an exchange of certificates of origin system with the Eurasian Economic Union.
The nation signed an "Agreement on facilitation of clearance of agricultural, forestry and fishery products through the use of electronic certificates" with New Zealand.
