The class aims to help businesses effectively manage some of the risks related to the classification and identification of goods codes.

According to the Vietnam Customs School, one of the errors that lead to businesses being taxed the most during post-customs clearance inspection is applying the wrong code of goods, leading to incorrect tax rates and under-declaration of tax amounts.

In particular, the determination of the wrong HS code can also affect the wrong implementation of product policies, if the wrong declaration of the HS code occurs many times, leading to the wrong application of tax rates, and missing of large tax arrears payable to the customs.
