QUESTION 10: REGISTRATION FOR CONDUCTING PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES
The key group of procedures regarding registration / notification of sales promotion is regulated by Decree No.37/2007/NĐ-CP and Joint Circular No.07/2007/TTLT-BTM-BTC. The normal way is to send directly to the Department of Trade and Industry or send by post 7 days before doing promotion activities.
To assist businesses reducing the time and cost of implementing administrative procedures; and to serve state management activities, introduce promotional content as well as provide official information about the deals in the City, Department of Trade and Industry has developed electronic website serving Promotion events (www.khuyenmaihcmc.vn); which integrates registration / notification of sales promotion with online submission. Currently the website is being updated and upgraded by the Department so that it could be put into operation in the fourth quarter of 2014. During this time, business unit doing the registration / notification procedure may send records to the Department of Trade and Industry through email address sct@tphcm.gov.vn
In 2015, in order to improve the quality of public services for this group of administrative procedures, entrepreneurs can implement registration / notification of sales promotion online at web page www.khuyenmaihcmc.vn and the software management of administrative procedures of the department is integrated into the Department’s electronic Information page www.congthuong.hochiminhcity.gov.vn. /.
