NONTHABURI, Dec 1 (TNA) – The Department of Foreign Trade warns that forging certificates of origin for goods and using them to claim special tax privileges in the destination country is not only illegal but also leads to intensified inspections of Thai exports.

 

Director-General of Department of Foreign Trade, Ronnarong Phoolpipat said that during the year 2023 (January – October), the department, as the main agency responsible for issuing Certificates of Origin (C/O), received 585 requests from Chinese customs to verify the authenticity of Form E. This form is used to claim tax privileges under the China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement.
