In addition, the GDVC asked local customs departments to consider not fining enterprises that carry out customs procedures late because they cannot receive goods in force majeure situations.

For agricultural products, especially fruit exported across land border gates, the GDVC directed customs departments in northern border provinces and cities to expedite customs clearance and release to avoid congestion at border gates, ensuring quality of exports agricultural products.

The authority asked departments to suspend inspections for customs brokers’ operation at their premises. Customs only checks applications submitted by brokers for the extension or recognition of eligibility for operation.

For goods taken for storage, the authority asked local customs departments to suspend the inspection of documents for goods storage that businesses have not yet submitted within 30 days such as certificates of quality inspection or specialised inspections; proposed ministries to soon issue inspection results for businesses.

According to Deputy Director Dao Duy Tam, the GDVC’s solutions have contributed significantly to stabilising production activities of enterprises and helped them to return to normal operation.
