Customs alert - Vietnam’s nomenclature of exports and imports & New FTA tariff schedules

We would like to bring you Mazars Customs Alert in February 2023 with notable updates on the change to the nomenclature of imported & exported goods in Vietnam, and new tariff schedules under FTAs.

The Circular no.31/2022/TT-BTC which takes effect from 30/12/2022 brings a lot of change to the old nomenclature of imported & exported goods in Vietnam, and this will certainly affect the way you classify/ determine HS code for your products. Please find enclosed the full Official letter no. 4891/TCHQ-TXNK of the General Department of Vietnam Customs, which provides a brief summary of important changes in this new nomenclature of imported & exported goods in Vietnam.

In addition, 2023 is also the milestone of renewing special-preferential tariff schedules (“FTA tariff schedules”) under various FTAs that Vietnam has taken part in. Please find in below the summarised table of all new FTA tariff schedules which have just been released last December, together with the Official no. 315/TCHQ-TXNK of the General Department of Vietnam Customs on declaration process (on VNACCS/VCIS system) and determination of the new duty rate under new regulations.
