China Increases Review For Foreign Investments

1. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is now charged with reviewing foreign investments to ensure they are in line with “economic security”, which has been made a top governmental priority. The state planner has had its authority beefed up in the process.

2. The new security review procedure was introduced through a brief notice published online in April by the NDRC. The note stated that its public service department would start accepting applications for national security reviews of foreign investment deals because of an “adjustment of departmental responsibility”.

Japan's Foreign Investment Policies - Part 1 - 'Quality Infrastructure'

1. Japan has acknowledged that it cannot prevent China from using its economic might to help the region’s middle-income countries meet their infrastructure needs.

Certificates of Origin, Certificate of Free Marketing, Certificate of Free Sales

1. There are two types of chamber of commerce certificates of origin that can be issued:

2. Non-Preferential Certificates of Origin
The main type of certificate chambers issue, this is also known as an ordinary or generic certificate of origin. These certificates declare that the goods’ country of origin does not qualify for any preferential treatment under a free trade agreement (FTA), because many FTAs have their own types of documents.

3. Preferential Certificates of Origin
This type of certificate declares that goods are subject to reduced tariffs or exemptions when they are exported to countries extending these privileges through a specific document located within the Free Trade Agreement. Preferential certificates are especially important when free trade agreements are in effect with a specified certificate of origin.
