The CPTPP Agreement has a separate chapter on textiles. In addition to applying the same general regulations as other goods, textiles and garments have their own specific regulations.

For textiles and garments, the applicable rule of origin is “yarn-forward” or the so-called “3-stage” rule, meaning the entire spinning, weaving, dyeing, finishing and sewing process. Austria must be done within the CPTPP. This rule encourages the development of the supply chain of the textile industry in the vertical sector, encourages investment in the development of the yarn and fabric industry, creates opportunities for Vietnamese enterprises to participate more deeply in the supply chain within the CPTPP. .

Compared with previous FTAs ​​that Vietnam has signed, this is a rule that places high requirements. However, the members also agreed on some cases where there are more flexible rules of origin such as:

- 3 groups of garments with one-step rule of origin applied, cutting and sewing, including suitcases, bags, women's bras, synthetic fiber children's clothing;

- The short supply list includes 194 types of fibers and fabrics that are allowed to be used from outside the CPTPP area, of which 186 items will be permanently applied and 8 items will only apply this mechanism within 5 years.
