Both documents can be issued independently."This new rule is in line with a trade commitment facilitated by the RCEP," Hasan said. "Business sectors will be benefited by this measure as the RCEP scheme will make the flow of exported goods in the region become smoother."Over the past year, the free trade agreement has helped lower the cost of trade, facilitated the integration of industrial chains, and benefited consumers in the region."The agreement is also expected to boost competitiveness and global production networks, promote regional supply chains by increasing export market access for goods and services, reduce or remove trade barriers, and increase technology transfer in the region," Hasan said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
