On June 11, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam issued Circular 02/2021/TT-BCT stipulating Rules of Origin in the Free Trade Agreement between the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The following products shall be considered as originating:

- Products wholly obtained in a Party within the meaning of Article 6 of Vietnam's Circular 02.

- Products obtained in a Party from incorporating materials which have not been wholly obtained there, provided that such materials have undergone sufficient working or processing in the Party concerned within the meaning of Article 7 of Vietnam's Circular 02.

In addition, Vietnam's Circular 02 also stipulates the unit of qualification as follows:

- The unit of qualification shall be the particular product which is considered as the basic unit when determining classification using the nomenclature of the HS.

- When a consignment consists of a number of identical products classified under the same subheading of the HS, each individual item shall be taken into account when determining origin.

Circular 02/2021/TT-BCT takes effect from June 27, 2021.
