Certificates of Non-Manipulation / Non-Interference under NZ/China FTA

Where New Zealand goods are exported to China via intermediary countries, a number of New Zealand traders have encountered requirements for Certificates of Non-Manipulation / Non-Interference.

New Zealand Customs understands that China Customs (GAC) is developing guidelines on administering the transhipment of goods through intermediate countries. Until those guidelines are formalised, exporters may consider contacting the following agencies about obtaining Certificates of Non-Manipulation / Non-Interference.

Hong Kong

China Inspection Company Limited (CIC): Has the ability to issue Certificates of Non-Manipulation for goods transhipped though Hong Kong to China.

Singapore

Singapore Customs: Has the ability to issue Certificates of Non-Manipulation for goods transhipped though Singapore to China.

Under other FTAs China is party to, China Customs has indicated that certificates of non-manipulation issued by these entities in these two countries are suitable forms of evidence that no further manufacture occurred there. However, there is no guarantee that certificates of non-manipulation issued by these entities will meet the needs of China Customs under the NZ/China FTA. China FTA Certificate of Origin applicant's should ask their client / importer to approach China Customs at the point of import to see if these certificates will release the goods at NZ/China FTA preferential rates.

Certificates issued using this website will include a page of "Overleaf Instruction" as the second page - exporters should print this second page on the reverse side of the first page of their certificate. This "Overleaf Instruction" should not be printed on the reverse of any certificate overflow pages (keep them blank).
