China extends self-printed preferential origin certificates to Myanmar and Cambodia shipments from 16 September 2026
- GACC Announcement No. 135 (2026), issued on 7 September 2026, extends self-printable preferential origin certificates from 16 September 2026 to shipments to Myanmar and Cambodia under the RCEP and the China–ASEAN FTA framework, and to Cambodia under the China–Cambodia FTA, moving a further tranche of certificate issuance fully online.
海关总署公告2026年第135号（2026年9月7日发布）决定自2026年9月16日起，将《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》（RCEP）和《中华人民共和国与东南亚国家联盟全面经济合作框架协议》项下输缅甸、柬埔寨，以及《中华人民共和国政府和柬埔寨王国政府自由贸易协定》项下输柬埔寨的原产地证书，增加为可自助打印证书，推动又一批证书签发全面线上化。
- Self-printing lets exporters print approved preferential origin certificates on A4 paper at their own premises through the China International Trade Single Window or the customs government-service platform, eliminating a physical visit to a customs office to collect the stamped paper.
自助打印是指出口企业通过中国国际贸易”单一窗口”或海关政务服务平台，在审核通过后自行使用彩色打印设备在A4纸上打印带有底纹、企业签章及签名、海关签章及签名的原产地证书，无需再到海关现场领取纸质证书。
- The extension follows the consolidation of customs electronic-document rules: alongside electronic certificates, e-declarations and e-inspection documents now carry the same legal effect as paper versions, and all previous separate CIIE-related notices were repealed by Announcement No. 128 in the same week.
此次扩围与海关电子单证规则整合同步推进：电子报关单证、原产地证书与检验检疫电子单证与纸质文件具有同等法律效力；同一周发布的第128号公告亦废止了此前历届进博会通关便利化文件。
- For foreign-invested exporters and trading companies operating in China, the practical gain is speed and cost: certificate data is transmitted electronically to the importing customs, supporting paperless declaration and tariff preference claims for consignments to the two Southeast Asian markets.
对在华经营的外资出口企业和贸易公司而言，实际收益在于速度与成本：证书电子数据直通进口方海关，支持对缅甸、柬埔寨两市场的无纸化申报与关税优惠申请。
- Background momentum: electronic exchange of origin data with Malaysia began on 1 June 2026 under GACC Announcement No. 74, with full electronic-only processing from 1 December 2026 — Myanmar and Cambodia expansion follows the same digital-first trajectory.
背景动能：根据海关总署公告2026年第74号，中国—马来西亚原产地电子信息交换系统已于2026年6月1日运行，2026年12月1日起全面实行电子联网模式——此次缅甸、柬埔寨扩围延续同一数字化优先路径。
- Compliance note: the self-printing mechanics follow GACC Announcement No. 77 (2019) on the general rollout of self-printed origin certificates; enterprises should confirm they hold an approved seal-and-signature authorisation in the system before the new routes go live on 16 September.
合规提示：自助打印的操作规则沿用海关总署2019年第77号公告（关于全面推广原产地证书自助打印的公告）；企业应在9月16日新线路启用前，确认已在系统中完成印章、签名的授权备案。
China extends self-printed preferential origin certificates to Myanmar and Cambodia shipments from 16 September 2026 | 海关总署再扩自助打印”朋友圈”：输缅甸、柬埔寨优惠原产地证书9月16日起可自助打印
Overview
On 7 September 2026, the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) issued Announcement No. 135 (2026), deciding that from 16 September 2026 the list of self-printable preferential origin certificates will be expanded. The newly included certificates cover shipments to Myanmar and Cambodia under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and under the framework agreement on comprehensive economic cooperation between China and ASEAN, plus shipments to Cambodia under the China–Cambodia Free Trade Agreement. Other matters continue to follow GACC Announcement No. 77 (2019) on the general rollout of self-printed origin certificates.
The announcement is short, but it sits inside a fast-moving digitisation of China’s origin-certificate administration. For foreign-invested exporters and trading houses that route goods to Southeast Asia from mainland production or procurement bases, the change removes a remaining paper step and aligns Myanmar- and Cambodia-bound consignments with the paperless channels already available for many other destinations.
What “self-printing” means in practice
Since GACC promoted self-printed origin certificates nationwide in 2019, an exporter whose certificate application has been approved by customs can print the certificate itself on plain A4 paper with a colour printer, instead of visiting a customs office to collect a stamped copy. The printed sheet carries the security background, the enterprise’s own seal and signature, and the customs seal and signature. The exporter first completes a one-off authorisation of its seal and authorised signatories in the system; once approved, printing is done from the applicant’s own terminal.
The practical consequences are well established: shorter lead times for certificate release, no travel to a customs counter, and full visibility of certificate status from the exporter’s own system. What changes on 16 September is simply the geographic coverage — certificates for the Myanmar and Cambodia corridors under the relevant preferential arrangements join the self-printable family.
Which certificates are added
Read carefully, the new coverage is threefold:
- certificates under RCEP for exports to Myanmar;
- certificates under the China–ASEAN comprehensive economic cooperation framework agreement for exports to Myanmar and Cambodia; and
- certificates under the China–Cambodia Free Trade Agreement for exports to Cambodia.
In other words, exporters claiming preferential tariff treatment on goods shipped from China to Myanmar or Cambodia under any of these three instruments can, from 16 September 2026, obtain the supporting origin certificate by self-printing rather than by visiting customs.
Why it matters for foreign-invested traders
For multinational groups that manufacture or trade out of China, tariff-preference documentation is a routine but high-stakes process. A certificate that is delayed or that carries a clerical error can hold a container at the border or forfeit a tariff margin that the commercial contract already priced in. Three features of this update matter:
- Faster certificate issuance. Self-printing cuts the queue for counter collection and lets the exporter time the certificate to the shipment, which is valuable where buyers request certificates at short notice.
- Lower administrative cost. Removing the need for a physical customs visit reduces the logistics of documentation for companies located away from a competent issuing office, and fits the operating pattern of trading companies that manage several origin regimes in parallel.
- Cleaner e-record trail. Because self-printed certificates flow through the electronic system, the audit trail for AEO-style compliance reviews and for later verifications by importing customs is more straightforward.
The broader digitisation context
The 135th announcement is one of several recent moves that together redraw the paperwork map of China’s preferential trade:
- Electronic exchange of origin data with Malaysia. Under GACC Announcement No. 74 (2026), the China–Malaysia electronic exchange system for origin information has operated since 1 June 2026, transmitting RCEP certificates, back-to-back certificates and China–ASEAN framework certificates in real time. During the transition to 30 November 2026, importers who receive a “no electronic data found” prompt may still key in the certificate information manually; from 1 December 2026, an importer wanting early release of goods without a matched e-record must apply for a duty guarantee instead.
- Equal legal effect of electronic documents. With the September 2026 batch of trade facilitation rules, electronic customs declarations, origin certificates and inspection/quarantine e-documents carry the same legal force as their paper counterparts, which underpins paperless declaration at import.
- Rolling consolidation of event-based notices. GACC Announcement No. 128 (2026) on the ninth China International Import Expo issued the 2026 customs clearance guide and facilitation measures and repealed eight earlier expo-related announcements, keeping the rulebook current in one place.
Seen together, these steps describe a single direction: origin certification in China is becoming an online, data-linked process in which the paper certificate is a print-out of an electronic record rather than a standalone document.
Practical steps
- Confirm that your company’s seal and authorised-signatory details are registered and approved in the self-printing module of the China International Trade Single Window or the customs government-service platform before 16 September 2026.
- Identify which of your current shipments to Myanmar and Cambodia claim preference under RCEP, the China–ASEAN framework agreement or the China–Cambodia FTA, and update your standard operating procedures so those certificate types are printed in-house from the effective date.
- For imports into China from Malaysia, review whether your vendors’ certificates are reaching the electronic exchange system; where a shipment moves without matched electronic data after 1 December 2026, plan for the duty-guarantee route.
- Keep a documented file of each self-printed certificate, including the electronic serial number, because importing customs in the destination market may verify origin through official channels.

海关总署再扩自助打印”朋友圈”：输缅甸、柬埔寨优惠原产地证书9月16日起可自助打印
概述
2026年9月7日，海关总署发布公告2026年第135号，决定自2026年9月16日起，扩大可自助打印的优惠原产地证书范围。新增范围包括：《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》（RCEP）和《中华人民共和国与东南亚国家联盟全面经济合作框架协议》项下输往缅甸、柬埔寨，以及《中华人民共和国政府和柬埔寨王国政府自由贸易协定》项下输往柬埔寨的原产地证书。其他事项按海关总署2019年第77号公告（关于全面推广原产地证书自助打印的公告）执行。
公告本身很简短，但它处在海关原产地证书管理快速数字化的进程中。对于以中国大陆生产或采购基地向东南亚发货的外资出口企业与贸易公司而言，这一变化消除了最后一道线下领证环节，使输往缅甸、柬埔寨的货物与许多其他目的地已可用的无纸化通道对齐。
自助打印在实际操作中意味着什么
自2019年海关全面推广原产地证书自助打印以来，出口企业在证书申请经海关审核通过后，即可使用彩色打印设备在A4纸上自行打印证书，而无需再到海关现场领取盖章纸质证书。打印出的证书带有防伪底纹、企业签章及签名、海关签章及签名。企业需先在系统中完成印章与授权签字人的一次性备案；备案通过后，即可在自己终端打印。
实际效果早已被实践验证：缩短证书出证周期、免去柜台往返、企业系统内全程可视证书状态。9月16日发生变化的只是地域覆盖——相关优惠安排项下缅甸、柬埔寨通道的证书加入可自助打印行列。
新增了哪些证书
仔细解读，新覆盖分三层：
- RCEP项下输往缅甸的证书；
- 中国—东盟全面经济合作框架协议项下输往缅甸和柬埔寨的证书；
- 中柬自贸协定项下输往柬埔寨的证书。
换言之，凡按上述三项安排之一、从中国出口至缅甸或柬埔寨并主张优惠关税待遇的出口企业，自2026年9月16日起即可自助打印所凭原产地证书，无需再跑海关。
对在华外资贸易企业为何重要
对以中国为制造或贸易基地的跨国集团而言，关税优惠单证是常规但高风险的流程环节。证书延误或差错，可能让货柜滞留口岸，或使商业合同已计入价格的关税优惠落空。本次更新的三个要点：
- 出证更快。 自助打印省去柜台排队，企业可把证书时间与船期精确对齐，对买方临时要证的场景尤其宝贵。
- 行政成本更低。 免去现场领证的往返，对办公地点距签证机构较远、且并行管理多个原产地制度的企业更为友好。
- 电子留痕更清晰。 自助打印证书全程走电子系统，便于AEO式合规复核及进口方海关后续核查留取审计轨迹。
更宏观的数字化背景
第135号公告是近期一系列举措之一，共同重塑中国优惠贸易单证版图：
- 与马来西亚实现原产地数据电子交换。 依据海关总署公告2026年第74号，中马原产地电子信息交换系统自2026年6月1日起运行，实时传输RCEP证书、背对背证书与中国—东盟框架证书。2026年11月30日前的过渡期内，进口人遇”无法查找到原产地证明电子数据”提示的，仍可手动录入证书电子信息；自2026年12月1日起，进口人在无电子数据匹配的情况下要求提前放行货物的，应申请办理税款担保。
- 电子单证具有同等法律效力。 随着2026年9月一批贸易便利化规则落地，电子报关单证、原产地证书与检验检疫电子单证与纸质文件具有同等法律效力，为进口无纸化申报奠定基础。
- 展会类公告滚动整合。 海关总署公告2026年第128号就第九届进博会发布2026年通关须知与便利措施，同时废止此前八份进博会相关公告，使规则体系统一更新。
综合来看，这些步骤指向同一方向：中国的原产地签证正走向在线化、数据互联，纸质证书成为电子记录的打印件，而不再是独立单证。
实务建议
- 在2026年9月16日前，确认公司印章与授权签字人信息已在中国国际贸易”单一窗口”或海关政务服务平台的印章签名授权模块完成备案。
- 梳理当前输往缅甸、柬埔寨的哪些货批分别按RCEP、中国—东盟框架协定或中柬自贸协定主张优惠，并更新作业规程，使相关证书类型自生效日起改为自助打印。
- 从马来西亚进口的，核查境外供应商证书是否已进入电子交换系统；2026年12月1日之后如货物无电子数据匹配，应预判税款担保路径。
- 妥善留存每份自助打印证书档案，包括电子编号，因目的地国进口海关可能通过官方渠道开展原产地核查。
