Vietnam Considering Banning Certain Imports for Storage in Bonded Warehouses

Vietnam is developing a list of imports to be banned from bonded warehouses, Vietnam Customs said in a Nov. 19 report from Customs News, the agency’s mouthpiece. The country previously considered banning certain imports of foreign cigarettes and liquor from entering bonded warehouses due to smuggling issues (see 1911050025). The country is now examining “other items which have a high risk of taking advantage” of Vietnam’s bonded warehouse system, the report said.
