Several businesses importing goods of ASANZO "disappeared".

Regarding the activities of Asanzo Group Joint Stock Company, at the press conference "The fight against fraudulent origin in the customs sector" organized by the General Department of Vietnam Customs which took place on July 19, leader of Post-clearance Audit Department (General Department of Vietnam Customs) said: By implementing the directives of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance, the General Department of Vietnam Customs has actively implemented related tasks. In the verification process, the Customs authorities identified 31 import and export enterprises operating import – export activities with Asanzo Group Joint Stock Company.

Of those, three enterprises were no longer operating and one enterprise was prosecuted (Sa Huynh Company).

Among 27 enterprises, the Post-Clearance Audit Department directly inspected 13 enterprises and transferred 14 units to the HCM City Customs Department for inspection. The HCM City Customs Department has issued post-clearance audit decisions for 14 companies importing goods and components branded ASANZO.

After issuing 14 post-clearance audit decisions, the Post-Clearance Audit Customs Branch (HCM City Customs Department) sent customs official to the business registration addresses of these above companies to announce inspection decisions in accordance with provisions of law. However, all of these addresses do not have any businesses operating, and were houses, cafes or fake addresses.

Police and local authorities have confirmed to Customs authorities that businesses are not operating at the registered business addresses. Therefore, the Customs authorities cannot carry out the post-clearance audit to clarify whether or not these businesses have committed tax frauds and evasion.
