Strengthen input material management and prevent origin fraud.

(Chinhphu.vn) - To prevent origin fraud, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has requested industry associations and export businesses to strengthen the management of raw materials used in the production of export goods.

Businesses need to consider the supply of raw materials for producing goods for export, ensuring compliance with importer requirements, product traceability, and the origin of exported goods.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has just issued Document No. 2515/BCT-XNK dated April 10, 2025, on strengthening the management of imported raw materials for the production of goods for export.

The document sent to export industry associations and manufacturing and exporting enterprises states that the current international trade situation is rapidly evolving and unpredictable, especially in the context of the United States applying tariff policies to many countries around the world , including Vietnam. To proactively adapt to the new situation, for the harmonious interests of Vietnam with its partners without affecting the production and export activities of Vietnamese enterprises, the Ministry of Industry and Trade requests that export industry associations and manufacturing and exporting enterprises take note of several points.

Diversify the sources of raw material supply.

For export industry associations, close coordination with state management agencies is essential to promptly provide information on policy mechanisms and international trade market trends, thereby advising and guiding member businesses to proactively develop plans for production and export.

In addition, it serves as a focal point to support member businesses in expanding and diversifying their sources of raw materials for export production, reducing dependence on a single import market. Member businesses are advised to ensure the origin of their raw materials, meeting importing countries' requirements for food safety and hygiene, traceability, and avoiding fraudulent misrepresentation of product origin.

For export businesses, it is crucial to proactively develop plans to adapt to the new international trade situation by seeking customers and partners from import markets with significant potential for exploitation and development. Attention should be paid to the supply of raw materials for the production of export goods, ensuring compliance with importer requirements, product traceability, and the origin of exported goods.
