KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia should be given the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) of 5% for exports of completely-built-up (CBU) motor vehicles to Thailand and other countries in the Asean Free Trade Area (Afta), said International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz.
Responding to a recent report that Thailand would not lower its import duty on Malaysian cars, as Malaysia required carmakers to be registered for approvals, Rafidah said the subject was open for discussion.
