According to experts, risks in the supply chain are inevitable and may cause damage to businesses if the risks are not detected, and there need have appropriate management methods. In fact, manufacturing enterprises import raw materials into warehouses and export them to serve many different purposes: business, processing, export production... Each finished product needs different input raw materials and the different quantity of ingredients.
Therefore, if the raw material sources, input and output quantities, and waste products are not strictly controlled, it will seriously affect enterprises, causing loss of financial resources due to differences in data. Besides, when the data do not match, businesses will make errors in placing new orders, causing shortages or surpluses in production, affecting the supply chain.
Deputy Manager of Song Than Industrial Park Customs Branch Nguyen Manh Vu recommended that businesses need to proactively grasp information related to the legal framework and export and import tax policies in carrying out customs procedures, and understand cases where goods are exempted from import duty. For export processed and manufactured goods, enterprises are allowed to select the most convenient Customs Branch (as per customs regulations) to carry out import procedures for goods, creating conditions for businesses to have many suitable selections.
