Common use of Advantages of entering CPTPP, Temporary Entry Clause in Contracts

Advantages of entering CPTPP, Temporary Entry. The chapter commits all CPTPP Parties to provide streamlined and transparent procedures for temporary entry applications, including a requirement to publish explanatory information on the requirements for temporary entry and the typical timeframes for application in each country. This type of increased information should assist New Zealand business people when doing business in all CPTPP countries. A majority of CPTPP countries have made additional positive commitments on temporary entry, beyond existing commitments made in GATS and some of New Zealand’s existing FTAs (particularly AANZFTA, which covers Brunei, Singapore, Viet Nam and Malaysia). Conditions are not altered for entry into Australia because New Zealanders enjoy separate preferential access under ANZCERTA. The commitments are particularly important for providers of professional services, such as accountants and architects, where services are provided predominantly by travelling to meet clients. Some CPTPP Parties, including New Zealand, require reciprocal access or impose conditions and limitations on access granted under CPTPP. If New Zealand was not a member of CPTPP, New Zealand businesses would not get the benefit of these trade-facilitating outcomes, and would remain subject to existing rules in each CPTPP country. New benefits available under CPTPP would include: • Improved access for business visitors covering a range of activities such as attending meetings or conferences, arranging sales of goods or services or establishing an investment for specified periods (typically three to six months). • Extended scope of coverage for intra-corporate transferees (generally executives, managers and specialists) into Canada, Viet Nam and Mexico. In Brunei, Chile, Japan, Malaysia and Peru, dependants will also be granted entry. • New or improved access for independent professionals into Brunei, Chile, Japan, Mexico and Peru. • Improved ability for business personnel employed by a New Zealand firm (and their dependents in some CPTPP Parties) to deliver services in another CPTPP Party under a contract with a New Zealand firm. • Access for installers and servicers to provide aftersales support directly into Canada and Mexico. Entry is typically permitted for up to six months.
