Besides, together with a lot of changes in management policy such as processing, export production, and processing for export enterprises, the General Department of Customs has built new functions to facilitate enterprises and Customs authorities in management activities. The principle of management functions for processing goods, export production, processing for export enterprises will be monitored by an assigned officer throughout all activities and procedures of the enterprise at the Customs branch. The assigned officer is responsible for urging enterprises to implement the manufacturing facility information; updating information on the manufacturing facility which has been manually informed, results of manufacturing facility inspection, inspecting settlement reports, and examine the use of the system.

In order to implement these new functions, the General Department of Customs requested Customs branches which have processing, export production activities to guide enterprises to perform "Information of manufacturing facility" by the system to the Customs authorities as stipulated. For the cases of changing the information of manufacturing facilities according to form No. 12/TB-CSSX/GSQL as stipulated in Article 56 of Circular 38/2015/TT-BTC, enterprises shall inform the Customs authorities. During operations, any change shall be notified to the Customs authorities before implementation.

Upon receiving the manufacturing facilities information of the enterprises, assigned officers have to update the ending date of financial year to the system.
