IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: ENHANCED MANAGEMENT OF GOODS ORIGIN UNDER DIRECTIVE NO. 09/CT-BCT

Dear Valued Customers and Partners,

In the context of increasingly complex and competitive international trade, ensuring the legal and transparent origin of goods has become a key factor in protecting reputation, business interests, and expanding opportunities in the international market, especially the United States.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Directive No. 09/CT-BCT dated April 15, 2025, on enhancing state management of the inspection and supervision of goods origin in the new situation. This Directive emphasizes the importance of preventing fraudulent origin practices and illegal transshipment, aiming to protect the reputation of Vietnamese goods and ensure compliance with international commitments.

Why is Complying with the Origin of Goods Important?

Strict compliance with regulations on the origin of goods brings many practical benefits to businesses, including:

• Maintaining Competitive Advantage: Demonstrating a clear origin helps your products build trust with international partners and consumers, especially in demanding markets like the United States.
• Avoiding Trade Sanctions: Fraudulent origin can lead to trade penalties, high tariffs, and even export bans, causing significant damage to businesses.
• Leveraging Benefits from Free Trade Agreements (FTAs): A valid Certificate of Origin (C/O) is a prerequisite for your goods to enjoy tariff preferences under the FTAs that Vietnam has signed.
• Building a Sustainable Brand Reputation: Products with clear and transparent origins contribute to building a reputable and trustworthy brand image in the international market.
• Ensuring Sustainable Development: Compliance with legal regulations is the foundation for the sustainable and long-term development of businesses in the global business environment.
