Apply for Certificate of Origin (COO) All container goes through rigorous security check and scanning at the Port of entry. Issuance of Certificate of origin (COO) can be processed after or simultaneously with the phytosanitary and fumigation certification process. Submission of documents in processes. Reduce activity.7 apply for Certificate of Origin from -day to -day. Customs should use risks based assessment coupled with exporter and freight forwarder profile for selective scanning. Waive mandatory scanning for export. The process of application and issuance of COO should be initiated simultaneously with the application for Phytosanitary and/or fumigation certification. Automation of overall export system is very essential. It will reduce the time taken to travel from one place to another for submission of documents. Benefits of the BPA studies: An example in Cambodia Output of BPA projects in Cambodia was instrumental in raising awareness and building political will for on-going trade facilitation reform The outcome of the studies provided direct feedback for senior policy makers to effect trade facilitation reform, which, in turn, decreased the costs of rice exports Source: Bangladesh- Export of Jute Bags Obtaining SAPTA certificate Obtaining Phytosanitary certificate Obtaining both COO and SAPTA certificates Submission of Export Registration Certificate (ERC) should be removed. Submission of Certificate of Origin (COO) should be dropped One of them should be dropped as both serves the same purpose (showing country of origin)

6 /0/06 Online Videos to assist learning Summary of this session Applying BPA is essential to identify the bottlenecks of trade facilitation and provide recommendations to removing such bottlenecks and streamlining trade procedures. Application of BPA is often cost-effective A variety of BPA training materials and tools are available and maintained by ESCAP countries should take the advantage of them. x9iacag0w9 6
