Calculating RVC

Description of Product : Laminated Finger-jointed Moulding

HS/ AHTN Code No : 4409 10 400

Importing Countries : Korea

Description of Materials / components used	HS Code/AHTN Code	Country of Origin	Value (RM)
Logs	4403 41 230	Malaysia	800
Glue	3506 91 000	USA (considered non-originating)	125.50
Labour Cost:	100
Overhead Cost:	105.25
Other Costs:	130
Total Production Cost	1260.75
Profit:	150.00
FOB Price (unit/kg/etc):	1410.75

RVC = FOB Price – Value of Non-Originating Materials x 100%

FOB Price

RVC = 1410.75 – 125.50 x 100%

1410.75

= 91.10%

In this example, the non-originating material is glue from USA. Labour cost, overhead, other cost and profits are considered originating. The product is eligible for the preferential rate as the RVC calculated shows the local material used is more than 40% i.e. 91.10%.

Regional Accumulation

Description of materials / Component used	HS/AHTN Code	Country of origin	Value (RM)
Fabric	6001.91.000	XYZ Sdn Bhd	8.00
Trim/Accessories	4908.10.000	Saudi Arabia (considered non-originating)	2.00
Elastic/Thread	5826.10.000	Japan – Kiko EYR Ltd	0.53
Labour Cost:	3.50
Overhead cost:	0.28
Other Costs	0.21
Total production Cost	14.52
Profit	0.35
Ex-Factory Price/FOB Price (unit/kg/etc):	14.87

Regional Value Content (RVC) Calculation:

RVC = FOB Price– Value of Non-Originating Materials) x 100 %

FOB Price

= 14.87 – (2.00) x 100

14.87

= 87%
