Enterprises will be classified into five compliance levels instead of the current 3 levels. Accordingly, the authorised economic operator and non-compliant enterprises remain, and compliant enterprises will be classified into threelevels: high compliance; medium compliance and low compliance.

Customs authority shall conduct risk assessment and classification for customs declarant, export, import, exit, entry and transit activities at different levels to apply the appropriate inspection and supervision measures”.
Therefore, compliance assessments for port, warehouse and yard operators will help the selection and application of appropriate customs inspection and supervision measures for import, export and transit goods. The regulations on the application of methods and levels of customs inspection and supervision are specified in Circular No. 81/2019/TT-BTC.
