ASEAN TRADE IN GOODS AGREEMENT (ATIGA)

15/ 03/ 2022

Introduction

The ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) is one of the basic Agreements of the AEC, signed in February 2009 and took effect on May 17, 2010, formerly known as the Agreement on Preferential Tariffs (CEPT/AFTA) signed in 1992.

ATIGA is the ASEAN's first comprehensive agreement that governs all intra-regional trade in goods and is built on the basis of a combination of tariff reduction/elimination commitments agreed in CEPT/AFTA along with other ASEAN member states relevant agreements and protocols.

Vietnam joined ASEAN in 1995 and started to implement CEPT/AFTA in 1996 and then continued to implement ATIGA.

Main features of ATIGA:

  • In ATIGA, ASEAN countries give each other preferential treatment equivalent to or more favorable than that granted to partner countries in the Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) signed by ASEAN (ASEAN+ FTAs).
  • In addition, ATIGA also includes many other commitments such as: elimination of non-tariff barriers, rules of origin, trade facilitation, customs, standards and conformity, sanitary measures.
  • The tariff reduction commitment schedule in each country's ATIGA (Annex 2 of the Agreement) includes all products on the ASEAN Harmonized Tariff List (AHTN) and the specific reduction schedule for each product. products in each year. Therefore, compared to CEPT, tariff commitments in ATIGA are very clear and easy to study.
