Intensify coordination and inspections
On the afternoon of 26 July 2018, the General Department of Vietnam Customs held a press conference to introduce Circular 38/2018 / TT-BTC on determining the origin of goods.
At the press conference, some reporters asked whether the US-China trade war would make Chinese or US goods penetrate into Vietnam to take advantage of Vietnam's origin to export or not. Mr. Nguyen Nhat Kha, the Deputy Director of Customs Supervision and Management Department (under the General Department of Vietnam Customs) said that during the process of Customs clearance, enterprises must clearly declare the origin of goods. In addition, in the management process, the Customs authorities will coordinate with the ministries and relevant departments to implement inspection and supervision to prevent goods with fraudulent origin.
"We will coordinate to implement inspections at the agency responsible for issuing C / O to ensure the requirements of origin of goods as declared as well as ensure regulations of origin of goods," Mr. Nguyen Nhat Kha said.
Regarding the question whether the Customs office discovered many C / O frauds or not, the Deputy Director of Customs Supervision and Management said that not many cases of counterfeit C / O were detected. "Major errors related to the issue of C / O are not in accordance with the provisions of signed agreements due to different interpretations among the authorities," Mr. Nguyen Nhat Kha added.
