This has enabled them to reduce their exposure to tariffs, while giving them enhanced opportunities to service the domestic market. All the strategies on offer, however, have one common element – Rules of Origin, the criteria used to establish the provenance of any given product and, thus, the applicable import duties.WHERE: HKTDC SME Centre
