TET HOLIDAY, GET STUCK ON CUSTOMS CLEARANCE OF COURIER SHIPMENTS
As Tet (Vietnamese lunar new year) is coming, some organizations and individuals may be urgently in need of sending goods to partners, customers, relatives, or export commodities for trading or production activities into Vietnam.
However, there are many businesses and individuals having incorrect statements about courier shipment’s customs clearance for which courier shipments still have to declare customs procedure and submit for specialized logistics-related licence as the same as other commodities imported via the Port/Airport (including non-merchant import).
Confused as the thought of free customs declaration for courier shipments?
According to experience from ONEX Logistics, there have been many cases where enterprises and individuals receiving goods in Vietnam must go through import customs declaration or/and logistics-related licence procedure.
ONEX understands that customers will be confused and concerned because you may assume that courier company will carry out the customs procedure, so when it does not happen you do not have backup plan.
Courier items will be gathered and cleared in different area. Shipments from post and express services are allowed to go through customs procedures at customs sub-department for express delivery. Sub-department for express delivery is as below:
- Address: 6 Thang Long, Ward 4, Tan Binh District, HCMC;
- Phone: 028.39487610 – Fax: 028.39487611;
- Code of customs sub-department for express delivery in HCM: 02DS.
Why are some shipments still delivered very fast, without customs clearance procedure?
Not 100% courier goods are entangled with import customs procedures. In fact, there are some cases where importersare not required to declare customs declaration, it depends on value of the goods, product characteristics, dimensions and even the officer’s own judgment.
ONEX Logistics understands that: Although your time is measured by the value of revenue / profit you create, you may want to understand and manage all activities in the logistics. Therefore, outsourcing to reliable company helps you determine the total amount of tax to pay, handle logistics procedures more quickly and efficiently.
