For example, the medical equipment managed by the Ministry of Health increases 32 commodity groups.

There was an increase in goods while the total list of management fell, for example, the medical equipment sector under the Ministry of Health managed to increase 32 groups of goods.

Ministries have implemented solutions such as changing inspection methods, applying risk management in inspection, many commodities have been changed the period inspection from pre-clearance audit to post clearance audit, increasing objects subject to exemption from inspection, publicising the list of goods attached with HS code and abolishing inappropriate regulations.
