The reader asked “my company is a foreign company relating to export and import operation. For import procedure, what documents are retained in the import-export division? Is it mandatory to retain original document?. If I import goods with CIF price, Is the insurance dossier submitted as required for inspection by the Customs? Which will missing documents be subject to administrative penalties or which circulars stipulate on the retaining post-clearance dossier and administrative penalty?
Answering on this issue, according to the Bac Ninh Customs Department, pursuant to Clause 5, Article 3 of Circular 38/2015 / TT-BTC dated March 25, 2015, of the Ministry of Finance stipulates: “5. The declarant shall retain dossiers prescribed in Clause 2 of this Article and accounting books for a sufficient period of time prescribed by regulations of law on accounting. Besides, the declarant must retain other documents related to exported or imported goods for 05 years, including transport documents of exported goods, packing lists, technical documents, documents related to the quotas for inward processing and manufacturing of goods for export.
The declarant must keep original copies of the said documents (unless they have been submitted to the Customs authority). Digital documents shall be kept in the digital form or converted into paper documents as prescribed by regulations of law on electronic transactions.
Accordingly, although there are no specific provisions on that the enterprise must retain insurance documents when importing goods with CIF price, the insurance document is one of the documents relating to export and import goods. Therefore, the Company should retain it for the inspection and post-clearance audit of the Customs (if any).
