Form W (China-New Zealand)

FORM W is a certificate of origin under the China-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement, officially titled 'Certificate of Origin under the Free Trade Agreement between the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of New Zealand.' This certificate is used to prove that goods exported to New Zealand originate in China, enabling the importer to enjoy the preferential tariff rate (usually zero tariff or a reduced rate) at New Zealand Customs. Usage scenario: When a Chinese exporter ships goods to a New Zealand customer and wishes the customer to enjoy tariff preferences, they must apply to China Customs or the CCPIT for FORM W, attaching a commercial invoice, packing list, etc. Notes: The certificate must be issued before shipment or within a specified period after shipment (usually before shipment or within 3 days after shipment), and the goods must comply with the rules of origin (e.g., wholly obtained or regional value content of no less than 40%). It is similar to FORM E (China-ASEAN), FORM F (China-Chile), etc., but applies to different countries. Difference: FORM W applies only to New Zealand, whereas an ordinary CO (General Certificate of Origin) does not enjoy the preferential tariff rate. Enterprises must ensure document consistency to avoid certificate rejection or tariff recovery.
