On May 12, the General Department of Customs issued a decision to extend the application of the priority enterprise regime for Hoa Tho Textile and Garment Joint Stock Corporation for 3 years from the date of signing. Thus, Hoa Tho Textile and Garment Joint Stock Corporation continues to be one of 75 priority enterprises nationwide when meeting many conditions: enterprises achieving import-export turnover of 100 million USD/year or more; enterprises achieving export turnover of goods manufactured in Vietnam of 40 million USD/year or more... In addition, the enterprise also meets other conditions such as: compliance with customs and tax laws; internal control system; good compliance with accounting and auditing laws.
Also in May, Hoa Tho Textile and Garment Corporation was one of eight enterprises participating in the program "Piloting support and encouragement for enterprises to participate in import and export activities in Da Nang" phase 1 thanks to meeting the following conditions: having import and export activities in the city; large number of customs declarations or import and export turnover; large amount of import and export tax payment.
Ms. Tran Tuong Anh, Deputy General Director of Hoa Tho Textile and Garment Joint Stock Corporation, said that participating in the program of the Da Nang Customs Department and continuing to be granted priority status by the General Department of Customs from 2018 to present helps businesses shorten the time for customs clearance of goods, thereby reducing costs on administrative procedures, reducing personnel costs, reducing costs of exemption from checking documents, goods and reducing other costs (storing containers, scanning containers at the port).
The above incentives significantly contribute to promoting the production and business activities of the enterprise, creating prestige with customers, thereby, the enterprise's after-tax profit in the first quarter of 2024 reached 44.5 billion VND, an increase of more than 46% over the same period last year, completing 25% of the profit target for 2024.
Also in mid-May, Danang Rubber Joint Stock Company (DRC) signed a contract with Oceanside One Trading Company, a tire company in Brazil. Through this contract, the two parties aim to increase export output to the US and Brazil markets from 70 million USD to 150 million USD/year.
Mr. Le Hoang Khanh Nhut, General Director of DRC, said that the Brazilian market will help DRC increase the operating capacity of the PCR tire factory to 75-84% this year and reach 100% next year. For the US market, DRC is the largest exporter of TBR tires (radial truck and bus tires) from Vietnam to the market. With the promotion of exports in the coming time, quick customs clearance of goods is extremely important. In the past time, the customs agency has always proactively supported the settlement of flexible administrative procedures, helping businesses clear goods and materials on schedule.

In order to specify solutions to support businesses, the program "Pilot support and encouragement for businesses to participate in import and export activities in Da Nang" has been deployed by the Customs Department. Accordingly, participating businesses are assigned specialized civil servants to provide guidance before carrying out customs procedures; civil servants are assigned to work outside of working hours, on holidays and on holidays to handle customs procedures upon request; support warnings of errors and omissions within 60 days from the time of customs clearance of import and export goods so that members can promptly correct, adjust, and make additional declarations in accordance with the law; apply 100% of administrative procedures announced on the online public service provision system of the General Department of Customs; support troubleshooting of systems, declaration software, etc.
Mr. Duong Duc Xuan, Deputy General Director of Da Nang Port Joint Stock Company, informed that before implementing the program, the Customs Department worked with Da Nang Port to agree on a number of contents to support businesses before, during and after customs clearance, technical and professional support as well as prioritizing the arrangement of easy-to-receive and easy-to-unload loading and unloading areas; warehouse storage fees, time for calculating the second warehouse storage fee. It can be said that the city's customs sector has shown initiative, working with many related units before implementing the program to best support businesses.
According to Mr. Quach Dang Hoa, Director of Da Nang Customs Department, in addition to implementing the above program, the Customs Department has developed a plan and synchronously deployed many different solutions to support businesses such as "reducing documents in the customs dossier, basically converting to documents in the form of electronic data"; continuing to receive electronic licenses and specialized inspection results on the National Single Window Portal with a number of ministries and branches; coordinating with relevant agencies to deploy specialized management and inspection procedures through the National Single Window, ASEAN Single Window and ASEAN Trade Facilitation...
At the same time, the Customs Department focuses on 6 groups of transformations in the customs-business partnership: approach; expanding the scope and participants; methods of organizing activities; content of organizing partnerships; digital transformation; methods of monitoring and evaluating the results of implementing partnerships. In the immediate future, the Department recommends that eligible enterprises participate in the program "Pilot support and encouragement for enterprises to participate in export and import activities in Da Nang city" phase 2 to receive the best support.
