Items such as watermelon seeds, cucumber seeds and pumpkin seeds for sowing are currently subject to the MFN import duty rate of 10%, meanwhile seeds, fruits and sprouts for sowing in heading 12.09, have the MFN import duty rate of 0%.
The Ministry of Finance said this regulation is not in line with the policy of promoting the agricultural industry and has inadequacies.
Therefore, in the draft decree amending Decree 57/2020 of the Government, the Ministry of Finance proposed the Government apply the MFN import tax rate of 0% to seed products for sowing in the heading 12.07 and separate other oilseed and fruits for sowing in heading 12.07 into Chapter 98 with the import duty rate of 0% to unify the 0% tax rate for seed products, fruits and sprouts, used for sowing in heading 12.09.
