More provincial authorities to issue certificate of origin

Provincial authorities in Kratie, Stung Treng and Modulkiri can now issue the ‘D form’ of the certificate of origin to agricultural producers and exporters, according to the government recent announcement. Companies that want to apply must submit an application through the website of the provincial commerce department, the announcement said. Lim Sreng, director of Mondulkiri’s commerce department, said he is expecting to receive a large number of applications for the form as many companies in the province export rubber, pepper, and cassava to Vietnam. Since 2017, the Ministry of Commerce has been delegating the issuance of D forms for certificates of origin to provincial departments of commerce across the country arguing that it will facilitate business activity and exports, and save time and money to companies.
