If the enterprise wants to re-export imported raw material to a buyer abroad, the enterprise shall not carry out procedures to change the use purpose (registering customs declaration under customs regime A42) but shall carry out re-export procedures for raw materials.
Upon re-export, the enterprise has to declare Customs regime B13 to re-export imported goods with conditions that the imported goods have not been processed and manufactured in Vietnam.
The General Department of Customs requests local customs departments to check customs dossiers and actual goods to identify that the goods have not been processed and manufactured in Vietnam and not to collect tax for goods exported under customs regime B13.
