The legal basis for issuing the Decision is based on a series of important documents such as: Decree No. 40/2025/ND-CP stipulating the functions and tasks of the Ministry of Industry and Trade ; decrees on administrative procedure control such as 63/2010/ND-CP, 48/2013/ND-CP, 92/2017/ND-CP; Decree 31/2018/ND-CP guiding the Law on Foreign Trade Management; especially Decree 146/2025/ND-CP and Circular 40/2025/TT-BCT regulating the issuance of Certificates of Origin of goods (C/O).
According to Decision 1845/QD-BCT, the list of administrative procedures applied at both central and local levels has been reviewed and officially announced. A completely new administrative procedure has been added, which is the issuance of Certificate of Origin (C/O).
This procedure is specified in detail in Circular 40/2025/TT-BCT and Decree 146/2025/ND-CP, implemented by the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) or an organization assigned by the Provincial People's Committee.
In addition, the Decision also amends and supplements 35 current administrative procedures, mainly related to the issuance of C/O under free trade agreements (FTAs). These procedures include preferential C/O forms such as D, E, AK, CPTPP, RCEP, EUR.1 and specific forms such as ICO for exported coffee, DA59 applied to goods exported to the African market.
In addition, procedures for re-issuing C/O, issuing supporting C/O and issuing documents approving self-certification of origin within the ASEAN region have also been adjusted, reflecting the diverse needs of businesses in the context of increasingly complex and multi-dimensional global trade.
In particular, the C/O issuance procedures have been standardized and digitized. Enterprises are encouraged to declare their documents via the Electronic C/O Management and Issuance System (eCoSys). The time for processing documents has also been significantly shortened, specifically: 6 working hours with complete and valid electronic documents, 2 hours with valid paper documents, and a maximum of 24 hours if sent by post .
