Definition & Explanation

Origin cumulation under the CPTPP serves as a critical mechanism for steel goods customs administration. It permits steel components or raw materials from various contracting parties (such as Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand) to be combined in fulfilling origin requirements. A steel fabricator can thus combine raw steel from Vietnam with Japanese processing steps and Korean components—the finished product remains recognized as a CPTPP originating good. This substantially simplifies supply chain documentation and reduces administrative costs for freight forwarders and importers.
