All,
We are looking for some assistance with EUVN Free Trade Agreement. I have confirmed with our content provider that we have all the supporting content loaded. We have loaded all DTR files and the associated EUVN Preference files. I can see the _DEVN country groups in the configuration after loading the content.
However, what I'm still failing to capture are the lower rates within the declarations themselves. I have tried running simulations for duty rate calculation of Tariff numbers we do business with. However, I am only able to get the system to provide GSP savings. Some of our HTS codes we import would qualify for both GSP and Free Trade Agreement rates. However, regardless of the supporting documents I use, I am only able to get the GSP rate to pull through.
The EU/Vietnam free trade agreement was recently ratified with an implementation date set for August. So I'd like to iron out how our company can take advantage of this as we are self-filing using GTS with the Dutch Customs authorities. I can see on previous FTA's such as the Japan/US FTA and MX/EU FTA there were notes released by SAP walking through how to set up in GTS.
Some questions to the group:
1.) Can I expect that SAP will release notes on how to leverage this FTA? (I already have submitted an incident, hoping for some progress on that front this week).
2.) Is preference processing required to achieve the lower duty rate in the declaration itself or can the certificates of origin or other supporting documents be provided manually to lower duty rates? (In our experience it's the latter for other reduced duty rate programs).
3.) How might I go about tracking down the specific reduced duty rates within the DTR files themselves?
We've tried adding Form A relevancy to our supporting documents, as well as EUR.1, and the best we seem to be able to get is the GSP savings.
Any help or direction may if someone knows of a good blog that walks through this scenario would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle
