Question 26: About origin of goods
When processing customs clearance, if there is no “MADE IN JAPAN” on commodities, the process will be stopped. We explained that our commodities had various origins, according to the standard, they could not be stamped “MADE IN JAPAN”; however, that explanation was not accepted and finally, we had to follow the customs’ instruction. Despite of commodities’ various origins, we must show MADE IN JAPAN on them, we are so confused. After investigation, we find that only Ho Chi Minh City’s (HCMC) customs requires this, therefore, we request the right solution.
Customs Department
Currently, the identification of the commodities’ origin based on C/O and the result of actual check. There is no requirement of MADE IN JAPAN on commodities. At the present times, goods labeling is processed according to Decree No. 89/2006/ND-CP dated on 30th Aug 2006 of the Government and there are different opinions about the above issue. HCMC’s customs has reported to General Department of Vietnam Customs to have consistent instruction.
