Decree No. 21/2022/ND-CP amending and supplementing Decree No. 57/2019/ND-CP dated june 26, 2019 about preferential export tariff schedule and special preferential import tariff schedule under the comprehensive and progressive agreement for Trans-Pacific partnership in the period from 2019 – 2022
After the United States announced their withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (“TPP”) in 2017, the remaining TPP countries exchanged information to reach an agreement on how to proceed with the TPP under such circumstance. During this time, the name of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement was agreed to change to Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (“CPTPP”), retaining the fundamental contents.
After a year joining TPP (now is CPTPP) as a special observing member, in November 2010, Vietnam officially announced its participation. In Vietnam, CPTPP came into effect since 14 January 2019. By June 2019, the Government issued Decree No. 57/2019/ND-CP (“Decree 57”) about preferential export tariff schedule and special preferential import tariff schedule under the comprehensive and progressive agreement for trans-pacific partnership in the 2019 – 2022 period. This Decree applies to 6 member countries that finished the ratification process until June 26, 2019, including Mexico, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia.
As of September 19, 2021, the CPTPP Agreement officially took effect for the Republic of Peru, so Decree 21/2022/ND-CP (“Decree 21”) was issued on March 10, 2022 to implement the CPTPP Agreement for the period of 2019-2022 with additional provisions applicable to Peru.
