That is the response of the General Department of Customs to the request of Ba Dinh Food Technology Co., Ltdon amending tax rates

Ba Dinh Food Technology Co., Ltd stated that due to not fully understanding regulations, when carrying out customs procedures for importing Locust Bean Gum (E410) Seed food additive, the company declared preferential import tax code 5%. However, after updating Decree 111/2020 / ND-CP dated September 18, 2020 on Vietnam’s Preferential Export Tariff and Special Preferential Import Tariff under the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) for the 2020-2022 period and guiding official letter 6283 / TCHQ-TXNK issued by the General Department of Customs issued on September 24, 2020, the company identified the preferential tax rate for this item is 3.7%. At this time, the company opened the declaration of the above shipment and still declared the tax rate according to the former regulations but preferential tax rate according to the B25 tariff under EVFTA. Therefore, the company asked to amend tax rates.

The General Department of Customs said that regarding conditions for applying special preferential import tax rates under the EVFTA, if the import goods of the company meet the provisions of Clause 3, Article 5 of Decree 111/2020 / ND-CP, special preferential import tax rates will be applied under the EVFTA specified in Appendix II issued together with Decree 111/2020 / ND-CP.
