Import - Export Entrustment Service

In recent years, the demand for import and export of goods has increased. Therefore, entrusting import and export to a licensed, professional and experienced unit is very necessary and saves a lot of time and costs. To learn more about the import and export entrustment service, we invite businesses and customers to follow the article below by Real Logistics!

Import-export entrustment includes two main activities: export entrustment and import entrustment. Enterprises can use one of these two services or use both at the same time. Import-export entrustment is when any enterprise, organization, or legal entity hires/cooperates with an import-export service business unit. This business unit will represent/be authorized by your enterprise and conduct the import/export of goods according to the agreement.

Import-export entrustment is the hiring (outsourcing) of an import-export service business unit. To organize and carry out export/import activities of goods for the seller/buyer.

Individuals and organizations established domestically entrust the implementation of import procedures for goods to other organizations. The organization receiving the entrustment must meet the regulations on customs declarants as prescribed in Article 5 of Decree 08/2015/ND-CP dated January 21, 2015, amended and supplemented in Clause 3, Article 1 of Decree No. 59/2018/ND-CP dated April 20, 2018 of the Government. 

Customs procedures are carried out in accordance with the provisions of Circular 38/2015/TT-BTC dated March 25, 2015 and Circular 39/2018/TT-BTC dated April 20, 2018 of the Ministry of Finance.

There are many reasons why businesses do not directly carry out import and export activities. The most common reasons include lack of human resources, experience, lack of understanding of procedures, legal requirements, etc. Specifically, the reasons include: 

- Individuals are not legal entities to carry out import-export activities; Individual businesses:  Global trade is developing, leading to an increasing demand for international trade and commerce. However, if you are just an individual, not a business, and do not have legal status, you will not be able to conduct purchases and sales, or sign contracts with foreign partners. At this time, you will need the support of a unit specializing in providing import-export entrustment services to carry out the export or import of goods. 

- Newly established companies do not have much experience in carrying out import and export procedures:  Some newly established companies may encounter difficulties in international trade due to confusion about procedures, tariffs... Therefore, for the first shipments, cooperating with an import-export entrustment service to make samples is a safe option.

- New and special items: Some businesses have a certain understanding of international trade. However, because it is the first time exporting/importing new or special items, it is easy to encounter difficulties in customs clearance. In this case, hiring an import-export agency is the most suitable choice. Businesses providing import-export agency services are often more experienced and can solve problems faster.

- Do not trust international suppliers: Overseas import-export entrustment services are also a relatively strong development service. Thus, your partner can fully support your business in this activity. However, relying on a foreign unit does not seem to be as secure and safe as Vietnamese businesses themselves. The reason is very simple: the service provider in Vietnam will understand the law, the market and can support your business at any time.

To ensure that import-export entrustment activities take place legally and smoothly, both the entrusting enterprise and the enterprise providing import-export entrustment services need to ensure: 

• Always check products carefully; carefully consider whether the imported/exported product is a prohibited import/export item or not...  

• What are the necessary documents and procedures to apply for an import/export license? 

• When having the set of goods documents, the consignee is responsible for carrying out current import customs procedures.

• Check the receiving company's capacity and familiarity with consignment imports.

• Sign import shipment agreement.
