World's largest free trade bloc covering 15 Asia-Pacific nations. Key innovation: full cumulation allowing materials from any of 15 members to count toward origin requirements. Covers approximately 30% of global GDP and population. Separate tariff schedules apply per origin country.
Approximately 90% of tariff lines; over 65% at zero duty, remainder phased over 20 years
All major sectors: electronics, automotive, machinery, chemicals, textiles, agriculture, metals, energy, plastics
Product-Specific Rules per tariff line; RVC of 40% or CTC; full cumulation among all 15 RCEP members
Country-specific exclusion lists. Japan excludes rice, beef/pork, wheat, dairy, sugar. Phase-out periods up to 20 years.
