ASEAN Select |
|
The debut ASEAN Select houses more than 100 exhibitors from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Under the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (CAFTA), tariff on imports into the Chinese mainland from these countries (excluding Vietnam) has been abolished from 2010. For Vietnam, the import tariff will also be reduced to zero by 2015. The elimination of tariffs will enhance bilateral trade between the Chinese mainland and ASEAN countries and thus this new ‘ASEAN Select’ is envisaged to attract more business deals for buyers and ASEAN exhibitors.
