New guide on price consultation process and supplementing documents

On 12/11/2021, the General department of Customs (“GDC”) published the new guidance (Official letter no. 5371/TCHQ-TXNK dated 12/11/2021) about the procedure and required document of price consultation session.

Price consultation is a Customs procedure where Customs authority coordinates with the Customs declarant to check the trustfulness and appropriateness of price declared on Customs import / export declaration form (“declared price”), and consider adjustment(s) where necessary. The final-determined price is the basis to calculate payable duties (import/export duty and VAT etc.) and proceed relevant State management tasks.

Compared to the prevailing regulations and old guidance, there are several new points in this official letter:

  • Online consultation allowed
  • Document and dossier used for price consultation
  • The process of price check

 

Disclaimer:

We do trust the above points are notable and sufficient, but should you have any questions or need a deeper discussion on this issue, please do not hesitate to contact us.
