Whereby, it is necessary to issue the implementation process publically and transparently towards facilitating enterprises and List of goods subject to specialized inspections with specific HS code to support the performance of management agencies and enterprises. According to the MOIT, in the recent times, with role as a host Ministry of deploying the Government’s Resolution 187/2013/ND-CP, the Ministry has been collaborating with other ministries and agencies to review the Lists of goods subject to specialized inspections and List of goods subject to inspections before Customs clearance to study and simplify procedures and reduce time and goods subject to inspections before Customs clearance in the spirit of the Government’s Resolution 19/NQ-CP.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) is enhancing the issue electronic Licenses and Certificates for fields subject to State specialized management of the ministries and agencies through the NSW, ASW and trade facilitation. To reduce offices in charge of quarantine and food safety at the same ministry, the MARD has assigned the Department of Animal Health to quarantine and inspect the food safety for imported goods in the sections 1 and 2 of the appendix of Circular 25/2016/TT-BNNPTNT and Circular 26/2016/TT-BNNPTNT. For fertilizer management, the MARD is urgently working with relevant agencies to review, amend and supplement Decree 202/2013 / ND-CP on fertilizers. For the implementation of innovative solutions for the specialized inspections, the MARD said that goods with the risk of disease spreads shall be inspected at border gates. Goods subject to inspection only are inspected on quality and food safety so that they should be inspected in the direction of risk management after Customs clearance.
