ASEAN and China have agreed on the following transition period:
- For Parties who are ready to implement the revised OCP by 1 January 2011 , a transition period of 1 January - 28 February 2011 is allowed for the use of both old (using the old OCP) and new (using the revised OCP) CO Forms or Form E. However, during the transition period, old CO Form Es issued will not be able to enjoy the benefit of the revised OCP (e.g. “Movement of Certificate” and “Third Party Invoicing”); and
- The transition period will not apply for Parties that implement the revised OCP after 1 March 2011.
Exporters are advised to purchase the new ACFTA Form E from Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) to avoid any issues when the dateline arrive.
