The false declaration leads to the insufficiency of dutiable import and VAT of nearly VND 2.3 billion. These import items of 79 customs declarations are processed at Customs Branch of Saigon Port Zone 1.

At the same time, this company also falsely declared the VAT rate of items identified as "materials for production of fertilizers of all kinds” in 297 Customs declarations.

For the additional fees into the taxable value, the company must pay an additional amount of over VND 46 million for 873 shipments, equivalent to 873 sets of Customs dossiers. The company has not presented documents of the remaining 319 declarations. This company also proposed to continue adding documents after the inspection.

According to the Inspectorate Division’s leader, through the explanations from the company and the inspection results and checking dossiers, and basing on legal documents in each application period, the Inspection team recognized that although the company did not intentionally violate, documents presented by the company were not appropriate, and the company did not submit any additional documents and reference in accordance with the legal normative documents to change the assessments by the Inspection team. The company has not studied regulations related to the import and export activities and it mainly hires Customs brokers for carrying out Customs procedures.
