Vietnam Customs Procedures List

Customs procedures involve various documents and forms, depending on the type of import/export and the goods being traded. Here are some of the most common procedures:

1. Customs Declaration

This is a mandatory procedure for all import and export shipments. Businesses must accurately declare information about the goods, means of transport, and shipment value on the Customs electronic system.

2. Customs Inspection

After receiving the declaration, Customs may conduct a physical inspection of the goods based on risk assessment. This inspection can be carried out by the Customs Department of the border gate or the Inland Customs Department.

For instance, Mr. Nguyen Van A, Director of an agricultural export company in Hoai Duc district, shared: “Previously, I was very worried whenever my goods were subjected to inspection. But since thoroughly understanding the policies and regulations, I’ve become more proactive in preparing documents. As a result, customs clearance time has been significantly reduced, saving the company considerable costs.”

3. Tax Payment

Depending on the type of goods, origin, and tax rates, businesses will have to pay taxes such as import tax, value-added tax, and special consumption tax. Tax payment can be made directly at the bank or through the electronic information portal.

4. Customs Clearance

After completing all the above procedures and receiving Customs approval, businesses will be granted customs clearance, allowing the goods to be exported or imported.

Important Considerations

• Prepare complete documentation as required.
• Declare information truthfully and accurately.
• Comply with regulations regarding customs clearance procedures and timelines.
• Proactively seek information and contact Customs authorities for assistance.
