ASEAN–Japan FTA – Origin Cumulation Textiles

In textile trade between ASEAN and Japan, origin cumulation allows producers to aggregate raw materials and processing steps across member states rather than concentrating all stages in one location.

Quick Answer

In textile trade between ASEAN and Japan, origin cumulation allows producers to aggregate raw materials and processing steps across member states rather than concentrating all stages in one location.

A Vietnamese spinner may source cotton from India, which is then woven in Cambodia and sewn in Thailand; the finished garment still qualifies as regional originating goods.

This enables specialized production networks and lowers tariff barriers provided cumulative regional value-added meets threshold requirements.
