brobro2424 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have been advised of this by UPS in the UK, and found this after a quick search Hopefully I can now stop buying these CO docs, but is it a requirement of the Thai customs when the products are leaving Thailand? Here is the full notice in case the link ceases to work (also attached to this post as pdf) Tariff Stop Press Notice 41/11 You are advised that from midnight 23 October 2011 the requirement for importers of textile products to produce a non-preferential Certificate of Origin is being withdrawn. 1. Withdrawal of Certificate of Origin - Documentary Proof of origin (DPO) The EU Commission have repealed Regulation (EC) No 1541/98 which required certain textile products originating in third countries to have additional proof of origin. 2. Action to take There will no longer be any general obligation to present a non-preferential proof of origin in the form of a Certificate of Origin for imports of textile products. However, the country of origin of the products will continue to be a mandatory in box 34 of the customs declaration SAD (Single Administrative Document) for release to free circulation. Customs authorities may also request any additional proof of origin to their satisfaction in accordance with Articles 14 and 26 of Regulation (EC) 2913/92. Generalised System of Preference (GSP) Form A is still required to claim preference. Further information can be found in Official Journal L259 Regulation 955/2011. To find out what you can expect from HM Revenue & Customs and what they expect from you go to www.hmrc.gov.uk/charter and have a look at Your Charter.

A Certificate of Origin is always only needed by the importing country as there mihgt be tax privileges for the importer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agents in other EU countries are still checking. The agent in Spain said the customs officer may still request the C/O, it is his decision. The plot thickens.
