On January 7, 2025, the Customs Department issued Official Letter No. 344/CHQ-GSQL providing guidance on customs procedures in cases where an enterprise changes its name without changing its tax code.
Here are the detailed instructions:
1.Update system information:
Enterprises are obliged to promptly notify the customs authority of the change of enterprise name in order to update access accounts and connection information on the Customs Information System.
(Article 5.6.a Circular 38/2015/TT-BTC)
2.Notes on customs dossiers bearing the former enterprise name
If documents in the customs dossier still bear the former enterprise name, the enterprise must coordinate with relevant parties to amend such documents to reflect the new name before carrying out customs clearance procedures.
3.Notes on Import Licenses and Specialized Inspection Certificates issued under the former enterprise name
If Import Licenses or Specialized Inspection Certificates have been issued under the former enterprise name, the enterprise must proactively contact the competent specialized inspection authorities that issued such documents for guidance on making amendments in accordance with their authority.
