Trade & Customs Law

Trade and customs law in Vietnam, covered layer by layer: treaty tariff preferences and the origin documents that make them work under the EVFTA and the CPTPP; import licensing and the three streams of goods; import duty, customs valuation and the five-year post-clearance audit window; the customs declaration and clearance procedure, including release of goods against a guarantee; carrier and freight forwarder liability under the Commercial Law and the Maritime Code; and dispute resolution before VIAC or the Vietnamese courts. Each page states the answer first, sets out the procedure and the statutory time limits, and cites a real Vietnamese court judgment by number and date so you can check it. Related establishment questions sit in their own practice areas: industrial leases and housing under real estate business law, residence cards under immigration and work permits.
