Government Resolution No. 178/NQ-CP dated 12 December 2020, approves the Ministry of Finance’s proposal to grant import duty exemptions for materials imported by export manufacturers for outsourcing activities. Specifically, if export manufacturers subcontract specific processing steps to third parties, any materials imported by the export manufacturers for the implementation of such processing steps will also be exempted from import duties.
On 23 February 2021, the General Department of Customs issued Official Letter No. 879/TCHQ-TXNK (OL 879) to provide guidelines on the implementation of the Resolution.
