According to Hanoi Department of Customs, during the period of coordination to supervise goods, the Customs Branch of North Hanoi received an official dispatch to require coordination of the Customs Branch of Hai Phong Port, Region III. Accordingly, at the end of May 2016, the Customs Branch of Hai Phong Port, Region III in collaboration with the Risk Management Division (Hai Phong Department of Customs) implemented screening of containers of DBS Investment and Trade Joint Stock Company.
Through screening and physical inspections, Customs officers found that imported goods were not consistent with the invoice and packing list presented by DBS Investment and Trade Joint Stock Company. Besides, the number of actual imports was insufficient for specific commodities. Immediately, the Customs Branch of Hai Phong Port, Region III implemented Customs procedures to transport these consignments to ICD My Dinh, and informed the Customs Branch of North Hanoi to coordinate.
In early July, DBS Investment and Trade Joint Stock Company opened Customs declarations at the Customs Branch of North Hanoi. Specifically, this company confirmed that it declared and provided documents in accordance with the quantity of actual imported goods with legal licenses of competent authorities.
Hanoi Department of Customs said in order to clarify the violations of DBS Investment and Trade Joint Stock Company when it carried out Customs procedures at the Customs office of the ports of the Customs Branch of Hai Phong Port, Region III, the Customs Branch of North Hanoi worked with the company about false goods and quantities when it opened declarations of independent transport. However, the company argued that, due to the confusion of the shipper filing invoice and packing list, the company didn’t do that on purpose. Thus, the Customs Branch of North Hanoi couldn’t have legal basis to implement sanctions for the company’s violations.
Hanoi Department of Customs said that this incident was complex and sensitive because the company took advantage of favourable conditions of policies to violate. Also, according to Hanoi Department of Customs, for these violations, there are currently no regulations and sanctions. Thus, Hanoi Department of Customs proposed to add more rules and sanctions for violations of independent transport mode into the Circular guiding Decree 45/2016/ ND-CP on administrative sanctions. In addition, the screening results must be kept confidential to avoid leaks and for businesses to prepare to deal with Customs authorities when registering import declarations.

In this regard, the General Department of Vietnam Customs said that Decree 45/2016 / ND-CP only provided sanctions for acts not reported or false declarations on names and numbers, etc for goods in transit. Therefore, the General Department of Vietnam Customs shall note and consider amending rules and policies as well as additional regulations in order to prevent violations of enterprises.
