Vietnam to Restrict Temporary Imports to Certain Border Gates

Vietnam will only allow certain temporary imports of goods for reexport at certain border checkpoints beginning in 2021, according to a May 26 report from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council. The checkpoints, which will be designated as “international border gates or main border gates,” will allow imports of all goods that are stored in a bonded warehouse before being reexported. Use of other border gates for temporary imports will be “strictly prohibited,” the report said.
