Strictly comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Finance on the deadline for submission of C/O, the form of C/O submission for imported goods during the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to the Can Tho Customs Department, during an outbreak of the pandemic, the documents in the customs dossier are submitted through the customs electronic data processing system, not requiring direct submission to customs officials.

Customs authorities have promoted activities by applying electronic methods, minimizing direct contact to prevent the Covid-19 pandemic effectively such as applying digital signatures to ensure data security and improve the legality of the electronic declaration, promoting the implementation of online public services, the procedures for declaring - receiving - handling requests for administrative procedures; looking up the status of processing dossiers; fee payments are done online.

In particular, Can Tho Customs Department also maintains good implementation of the automatic customs management system at the company's dedicated port, so the monitoring of imported and exported goods entering and leaving the port is convenient.

Currently, branches under Can Tho Customs Department have built and deployed Group Zalo activities on communication, guidance and supporting customs declarants and taxpayers to support businesses for removing difficulties and publish new regulations and guidelines on customs procedures and tax policies to help businesses catch up in time during the Covid-19 pandemic.

There have been hundreds of messages exchanged with businesses through this interactive form. In cases where it’s required to send original paper documents such as C/O, permits, specialised inspection results, enterprises send them via postal service or submit them at a separate reception room which is equipped with masks and hand sanitizer, a paper medical declaration form or a QR code for enterprises to promptly send and receive dossiers. This ensures safety and pandemic prevention in accordance with the regulations.

Deputy Director of Import-Export documents - Minh Phu Hau Giang Seafood Joint Stock Company Ngo Thi Thu Hien said that the leaders and customs officials of the customs branch created a Zalo group to interact, solve problems as well as consulted customs procedures in the pandemic was very creative and effective, ensuring fast cargo clearance.
