The Vietnamese government has decided to impose further restrictions on the exportation of Vietnamese goods in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under the new regulations, all imports from non-Vietnamese countries will be subject to customs duties and other taxes at the current rate of 20%. This is an increase of almost 40% compared to the previous rate of 10%.
Furthermore, the government has also imposed restrictions on the transportation of goods by road, sea and air. All vehicles and trucks imported into the country will be required to have their plates modified with the relevant country's license number.
In addition, importers are required to pay duty and taxes on all goods that they purchase from non-Vietnamese countries, including foodstuffs, building materials, and electronics.
The Vietnamese government argues that these measures are necessary to ensure the safety of consumers, as well as protect domestic industries from foreign competition.
However, some critics argue that the high rates of taxes and duties are unfair for businesses and exporters who are already struggling due to the economic downturn caused by the pandemic.
They suggest that the government should consider adjusting the regulations to make them more flexible and easier to comply with.
Despite these challenges, the Vietnamese government remains determined to protect its national economy and ensure its continued growth.
It is important to note that this is just one of the many measures being taken by the Vietnamese government to combat the effects of the pandemic. Other measures include mask mandates, social distancing guidelines, and increased testing and monitoring efforts.
Overall, while there may be some disagreements over the specific policies implemented by the Vietnamese government, it is clear that they are taking proactive steps to protect their citizens and their economy during this challenging time.
