Free Trade Agreement (FTA)

What it is

: In the latest update to the Supplier Product Portal (SPP), we have introduced a significant enhancement to the process of declaring product origin. Historically, SPP required that each product have its own declaration of origin created. With the new update, you can now create declarations of origin for multiple products simultaneously. This change is available from version 2.5 onwards. To use this new feature, simply navigate to the

Declaration Management

section of the

SPP

, and select the

Create Multi-Product Declaration

option. Follow the prompts to add multiple products to a single declaration form. This feature is designed to be intuitive, but should you need assistance, refer to the updated user guide available in the Help section.

Benefit to you

By allowing you to create multi-product declarations, the new feature helps you save time and reduce the potential for errors. This streamlined approach enhances your productivity and allows you to focus more on your core business activities.

What it is

: We have updated the

FTA Analyzer

to incorporate the

country of origin

. This means that all reports that show the country of import and the country of export will now also include the country of origin. Most FTAs do not allow for transshipment of goods, so, in order to ensure we are not over-identifying possible savings, identified FTAs will only be shown if all three countries (import, export, and origin) are included in the FTA.nt.

Benefit to you

: This enhancement allows for a more accurate identification of applicable FTAs, significantly reducing the risk of incorrect savings claims associated with transshipment issues. You will benefit from a more comprehensive and reliable analysis, ensuring better compliance and optimization of trade benefits.
