On January 9, 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Circular No. 01/2019/TT-BCT regulating scrap import border gates to take effect on February 22, 2019.
Accordingly, Circular No. 01/2019/TT-BC has the following outstanding contents:
– The import of scraps for production materials is carried out through the border gates as prescribed, except for the land border gates and railway gates.
– The above content does not apply to temporary import, re-export, border-gate transfer, and transit.
Thus, Circular No. 01/2019/TT-BCT clearly stipulates the import of scrap materials, traders import scrap as a production material, thereby creating conditions for individuals and groups. The implementation of these activities is accurate, saving time as well as improving efficiency.
