VERTICAL NAME OF EXPORT FOR FARMERS

Question:
The company has a consignment imported from Japan to Cat Lai port. We have done customs clearance and paid import duties and VAT. However, when operating cargo in containers at CFS warehouse, FWD announced that the shipment was wet due to flooding during the ship's visit to Shanghai and had inspection certificate. After assessing the condition, the goods were completely damaged, so we asked the seller to send a new shipment to compensate for the damaged shipment. So do we have to pay import tax and VAT? If so, is it possible to use the previous lottery tax to deduct it? Because in fact we only buy 1 shipment.

Reply:

In case the Company does not re-export the shipment, it still has to pay import tax and VAT on the replacement import goods lot according to current regulations. At that time, the company consulted the regulations on tax reduction in Article 32 of Decree 134/2016 / ND-CP dated September 1, 2016 of the Government if the export and import goods are under the agency's supervision. Customs are damaged or lost due to objective reasons under the Insurance Contract, the notice of compensation payment by the insurance accepting organization (if any or the contract or the compensation agreement of the carrier for in case of damage caused by the shipping company.
Request the company to refer to the above provisions for implementation. In case of arising problems, please contact directly with the Customs Branch where expected to register the declaration for specific instructions.
