Immediately after the issuance of the Resolution 148/2016 / NQ-HDND, our company as well as many domestic and foreign companies and organizations have opposed these charges. Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung instructed the Ministry of Finance and the People's Committee of Hai Phong Province to review and evaluate the collection of fees for Resolution 148/2016 / NQ-HDND in line with their ability to contribute and compete with export and import businesses, creating a favorable business environment in Vietnam. Under the direction of the Government’s Prime Minister and opposition from businesses, at the 6th session of December 8, 2017 of the 15th session People's Council of the Hai Phong City, the People's Council of Hai Phong City amended the Resolution 148/2016 / NQ-HDND.

At present, the company's production and business activities in general and export activities in particular are facing many difficulties, as the products have to compete with many countries in the world, especially is China. The People's Committee of Hai Phong City continues to maintain the point of import-export fees for "liquid and bulk cargoes" for our company is unreasonable, causing the company is charged fees (People's Committee of Hai Phong City will be charged 2 times: Fee collected through the Dinh Vu IP and fee collected through the Resolution No. 148/2016 / NQ-HDND), increasing cost burden and reducing business efficiency, reducing competitiveness in the international market.
Therefore, with the spirit of creating favorable business environment in Vietnam, contributing to increase the competitiveness of import-export enterprises as directed by the Government in the Resolution No. 19-2016 / NQ. - CP dated April 28, 2016 and Resolution No. 35 / NQ-CP dated May 16, 2016, Duc Giang Chemical Joint Stock Company - Lao Cai suggested the People's Council of Hai Phong City to consider abolishing the charge Import and export of "liquid and bulk cargoes" under the Resolution No. 148/2016 / NQ-HDND dated December 13, 2016. import and export as directed by the Government in Resolution No. 19-2016 / NQ-CP dated April 28 2016 and the Resolution No. 35 / NQ-CP dated May 16, 2016, German Chemical Joint Stock Company Giang - Lao Cai Province would like to request the People's Committee of Hai Phong City to consider soon the abolishing import-export fees for "liquid and bulk cargoes" in the Resolution No. 148/2016 / NQ-HDND dated December 13, 2016.
