What are grounds for verification of origin of goods in Vietnam?
According to Article 27 of the Customs Law 2014 which outlines the verification of origin of goods in Vietnam:
Article 27. Verification of origin of goods in Vietnam
1. For exported goods:
a) The customs authorities determine the origin of exported goods based on the inspection of the customs declarant’s declaration, the documents in the customs dossier, and the results of the actual goods inspection;
b) In cases of doubt about the origin of the exported goods, the customs authorities require the customs declarant to provide documents, materials related to the origin of the exported goods, and carry out verification and examination of the origin at the goods production facility. While awaiting the inspection, examination, and verification results of the goods' origin, the exported goods are cleared according to the provisions in Article 37 of this Law.
[...]
Thus, the customs authorities determine the origin of exported goods based on the inspection of the customs declarant’s declaration, the documents in the customs dossier, and the results of the actual goods inspection.
