At Declarators, we understand that exporting goods can involve complex documentation. One of the key certificates Singapore exporters may require is the Form AI Declaration, which ensures your products comply with the ASEAN-India Free Trade Area (AIFTA) rules of origin.
What is a Form AI Declaration?
A Form AI Declaration is a certificate used to confirm that goods exported from Singapore to India meet the origin requirements under the ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement (AIFTA).
By submitting a valid Form AI, exporters can:
- Claim preferential tariff rates for goods shipped to India
- Certify that products are manufactured or processed in Singapore
- Facilitate faster and smoother customs clearance
Form AI is crucial for businesses looking to maximize cost savings and remain compliant under AIFTA regulations.
Back-to-Back Form AI Declarations
For Singapore exporters handling goods from other ASEAN countries, Back-to-Back Form AI can be used when goods pass through Singapore before being exported to India:
- Example: Goods originating from Malaysia are shipped to Singapore, repackaged or consolidated, and then exported to India.
- The original Form AI from Malaysia can serve as the basis for a Back-to-Back Form AI issued in Singapore.
- This ensures the shipment still qualifies for preferential tariff rates under AIFTA.
Back-to-Back Form AI is particularly helpful for trading companies, distributors, and manufacturers in Singapore who handle goods from multiple ASEAN sources.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even experienced exporters can make mistakes when submitting Form AI:
- Incomplete or incorrect exporter details
- Wrong HS codes or product classification
- Missing signatures or verification by chambers of commerce
- Using outdated forms
- Mismatched supporting documents
