Some regulations about exported minerals documents could be simplified

VCN – Regarding the procedures for export of minerals shipments under the provisions of Circular 12/2016 / TT-BCT about adjusting and supplementing some articles of Circular 41/2012 / TT-BCT of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the General Department of Customs said that the Ministry of Industry and Trade should clarify some provisions in order to simplify the procedures for enterprises and ensure the management of exported minerals.

Especially, regarding the profile of export coal from imported materials, at Clause 2, Article 1 of Circular 12/2016 / TT-BCT stipulated that the conditions for exporting imported minerals must be certified by the Customs agency which is shown in the goods declarations of imported minerals.

However, at Clause 3, Article 1 of Circular 12/2016 / TT-BCT, the legal document that demonstrated the origin of goods in Customs dossiers, is the imported declaration (for the case of imports) and not specified that the declarations must be certified by the Customs agency at the border gate.

On the other hand, according to the provisions of the Customs Act and the guidelines of the Customs Law, the Customs authorities did not do a confirmation on the Customs declaration. Therefore, in order to meet the goal of administrative reform that follows the spirit of the Government, and the Prime Minister, the General Department of Customs is suggesting that: for the case of exporting minerals which have origin from imports, the profile of the exporting mineral must comply with the provisions of Clause 3, Article 1 of Circular 12/2016/TT-BCT, requiring only import Customs declarations.

Besides that, the General Department of Customs also suggested that some provisions should be simplified in the minerals export profile. According to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 1 of Circular 12/2016 / TT-BCT, the records must demonstrate the lawful origin of the minerals have many documents which are required to submit a copy that is certified by the Customs agency (mining license or mining permits of spend, etc.).

However, in order to implement the reform administrative procedures, and facilitate enterprises, the General Department of Customs requests that: for the cases when enterprises do procedures for exports minerals of the same contract and the same license at the same Customs Branch, they just need to submit a certified document on the registration of the export declaration for the first time. For the next export profile, enterprises only have to submit a certified copy, signed and sealed by the enterprise for the above-mentioned documents of the Customs dossier.

For the record that proved the lawful origin of the minerals exported, in order to avoid the cases where exporters trade minerals across multiple enterprises, so it leads to difficulty to manage and verify the source of legitimate minerals, the General Department of Customs proposed that they just only accept the documents provided by the suppliers directly to the exporter, not accept vouchers through many different trading hubs.
