About FTA's and COO's
Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)
Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) support economic growth and global collaboration. By eliminating tariffs and trade restrictions, FTAs enable New Zealand exporters to connect with international markets, promoting the exchange of goods and services in a fair and mutually beneficial manner.
Like to know if your goods are covered under an FTA? Use the Tariff Finder to find out.
Certificates of Origin (COOs)
A Certificate of Origin (COO) is a crucial document that provides information about the source of goods, typically stating the country in which the goods were manufactured, produced, or processed. This information aids customs and trade authorities in determining the eligibility of the goods for preferential trade agreements, tariffs, and other trade-related benefits.
FTA Certificates of Orgin
The New Zealand Chambers of Commerce and Industry (NZCCI) have been approved as a Certified Body by New Zealand Customs. As a member of NZCCI, we can issue preferential certificates of origin under the following Free Trade Agreements:
- New Zealand – China Free Trade Agreement (NZCFTA)
- ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZ FTA)
- The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Link
Note: NZCFTA, AANZFTA and RCEP certificates of origin can only be issued if the goods qualify and relevant supporting documentation is provided.

Self-certification of origin for NZ Trade Agreements with Korea, Taiwan and CPTPP
Within these Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), New Zealand exporters engage in a "self-certification of origin" process. This involves either providing a declaration of origin or issuing a self-issued certificate of origin (CO).
Ensuring precise declarations, comprehending the applicable Preferential Specific Rules (PSR), and recognising the responsibility tied to their origin declaration for both them and the importer are vital for exporters.
The CPTPP is self-declared and does not need an endorsement from the Chamber but can provide this service if necessary. Please check with your customer about this.
Economies participating in CPTPP include:
- Australia
- Brunei Darussalam
- Canada
- Chile
- Japan
- Malaysia
- Mexico
- New Zealand
- Peru
- Singapore
- Vietnam
