To: Customs Departments of provinces and cities

Over the past period, the General Department of Customs has received several feedbacks from businesses on the frequency of prolonged physical inspections of exported and imported goods without any violation found, which negatively affects their export and import operations. After inspecting and checking, the reason for the said difficulties uncovered is the analysis criteria established by the Customs Departments that have been widely applied to the VNACCS/VCIS system for an extended period. The application of such criteria reduces the quality and effectiveness in risk management, and cause difficulties in the export and import operations of the businesses.

In order to resolve such difficulties, facilitate export and import of businesses, and ensure effectiveness of customs management of exported and imported goods in every period, the General Department of Customs recommend that Customs Departments of provinces and cities:

1. Enhance the risk analysis, determine for the subjects of inspection . The analysis criteria must concentrate on consignments of businesses suspected of smuggling, tax evasion, or violating the other laws on customs. The scope and time of application of the criteria must be appropriate for the operations and are determined according to risk analysis results.

2. Regularly check and evaluate the effectiveness of application of every analysis criteria applied to the system; eliminate the criteria applied for a long time without any violations found.
