On February 4, 2025, the General Department of Customs issued Official Letter No. 507/TCHQ-GSQL to give opinions on this issue as follows:
According to the regulations in Clause 3, Article 36 of Decree 08/2015/ND-CP:
“Raw materials, supplies, machinery and equipment imported for processing and production of export goods and export products must be stored in the production area of the enterprise. In case of storage outside the production area , the enterprise must send a document to the customs office for consideration and decision.”
Therefore, when an export processing enterprise brings an export product into the inland for durability inspection, it is necessary to notify the customs office.
Customs authorities will proactively apply appropriate supervision methods to ensure customs management. If signs of violation are detected, the Customs authority will inspect and handle them according to regulations.
