Certificate of Origin

IVS export customers can now take full advantage of New Zealand's free trade agreements, with simple, cost effective and fast Certificate of Origin services.

China / New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (CFTA)

In 2008, New Zealand became the first western nation to secure a free trade pact with China. China is our fourth-largest export market and the world's fastest-growing economy. The Free Trade Agreement is estimated to be worth $350 million per year to New Zealand exporters.

  • By 2010, 96 per cent of all New Zealand-made goods exported to China will be tariff free
  • Goods that arrive in China with a certificate of origin, will be processed within 48 hours by Chinese customs

ASEAN - Australia - New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA)

In January 2010 the AANZFTA came into effect, it's aim to liberalise and facilitate trade in goods, services and investment between New Zealand, Australia and the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) economies. It contains measures to improve business flows and promote cooperation in a broad range of economic areas of mutual interest.  The Members of ASEAN are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam.
