**Position**: Local STTA Rules of Origin Expert (focused on origin verification in cyberspace)

**Reports to**: USAID Vietnam Digital Trade (VDT) Technical Team

International Development Group LLC is an international development consulting firm that assists donors, governments, and the private sector to create and take advantage of opportunities for sustainable, broad-based economic development and poverty reduction. IDG provides entrepreneurs and policymakers with the practical tools needed to achieve real and measurable impact for their communities and countries. IDG assistance programs aim to build the capacity, skills, and knowledge of local individuals and institutions in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors, fostering synergies between local knowledge and international experience.

**Project Background**

The VDT is a two-year activity (2023-2025) addressing regulatory gaps and promoting private sector engagement in the rapidly growing digital economy. USAID VDT Activity supports the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT)’s implementation of frameworks that facilitate digital trade, with an emphasis on supporting MOIT in holding public-private dialogues to ensure implementation is done in consultation with the private sector. Regulations that are responsive to private sector needs remove bottlenecks in trade faced by enterprises and increase regulatory transparency, helping to shape an e-commerce sector where enterprises of all sizes can benefit. The Activity encourages the participation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in digital trade by introducing new business models and other best practices, such as traceability of goods, as well as facilitating cross-border connections between enterprises via MOIT’s digital trade promotion platform.

**Activity Background**

This trend underscores the heightened risk of trade fraud in the origin of goods amidst escalating trade conflicts between nations, adversely impacting compliant Vietnamese businesses, consumers, and overall international trade relations with key partners like the United States.

To safeguard the reputation of Vietnamese goods in the global market, ensure the legality of domestic production, and enhance businesses' and industry associations' awareness of the risks associated with origin fraud, Vietnam must take proactive measures. This involves empowering businesses to actively engage with and adhere to standards and regulations pertaining to goods origin in the US market.

To address this challenge, the MOIT Agency of Foreign Trade (AFT) asked the VDT to support the following initiatives:

- Research and review the current status of ROO implementation on goods exported to the US;
- Provide detailed guidelines for checking and verifying the origin of goods, especially goods produced from imported material;
- Produce guidelines for the declaration of trader profiles, certificates of origin (C/O), and supporting documents for each consignment, which will facilitate authorized economic operators (AEO);
- Draft a report summarizing the methodology for origin verification in cyberspace. This report will describe how the competent authority of Vietnam and the customs authorities of trading partner countries can access the data system at different levels to obtain the necessary information to conduct the verification of the C/O.

The above tasks completed will result in:

- Developing a handbook (in FY1);
- Organizing a workshop to present findings from the study and recommendations (in FY2); and
- Organizing a training (in FY2).

To conduct this activity, the VDT will mobilize two local experts and one international expert to implement the following tasks:

- **Local STTA Rules of Origin Expert (Lead) (Local Expert 1)**: The Local Expert 1 will take lead in designing and developing the activity and in charge of tasks 1, 2 and 3 as described above. The Local Expert 1 will also cooperate with Local Expert 2 and International Expert to implement tasks 5, 6 and 7.

- **International STTA Rules of Origin Expert**.** The International Expert will be in charge of providing US perspectives in preventing origin frauds for goods exported to the US, especially third-country goods counterfeiting as Vietnamese goods for export to the US.

**Key Tasks/Responsibilities**:

- Conduct a report summarizing the methodology for origin verification in cyberspa
