A 3: Article 5 of the Agreement on the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) Scheme requires that Member Countries eliminate the Non-Tariff Barriers on a product within a period of five years after that product has begun to enjoy CEPT concessions. A product is said to have enjoyed CEPT concessions when that product receives lower (relative to MFN tariffs) CEPT tariff rates from another ASEAN Country.
