For classification and reporting of classification results, the General Department of Vietnam Customs requested Hai Phong Customs Department and HCM City Customs Department complete the classification, inspection and report the results to the General Department of Vietnam Customs. HCM City Customs Department must urgently conduct cargo inspection to complete classification and accurately identify backlogged goods.

For auctions of consignments which have completed classification and accurately identified goods as scrap on the list under Decision No. 73/2014/QD-TTg and meet national technical regulations on the environment, the General Department of Environment announced the list of establishments that have been granted the certificate of eligibility for environmental protection in importing scrap for use as raw production materials to participate in auctions of shipments of backlogged scrap. Therefore, the General Department of Vietnam Customs transferred the list of enterprises to the provincial Customs Departments to notify businesses to submit dossiers to participate in the auction.

For the consignments that have completed the classification, inspection and accurate determination of scrap on the list under Decision 73/2014/ND-CP and meet national technical regulations on the environment, provincial Customs Departments will conduct auctions in accordance with regulations for enterprises on the list of the General Department of Environment.

For shipments that have not been classified or assessed yet and have not been identified accurately as scrap listed on the list under Decision 73/2014/ND-CP and meet national technical regulations on the environment, the provincial Customs Department urgently classify and inspect to finish handling of backlogged scrap at seaports.

Regarding re-export of scrap containers identified as waste, hazardous waste or scrap that fails to meet national technical regulations on the environment, the General Department of Vietnam Customs requested that before re-exporting backlogged scrap, the provincial Customs Departments should make a list and report on the shipping lines/shipping agents, container numbers and seal numbers to the General Department of Vietnam Customs to review and set up management criteria.

After the General Department of Vietnam Customs has reviewed and set up management criteria, they will issue documents to instruct the provincial customs departments and shipping lines/shipping agents to re-export the backlogged scrap.

The provincial Customs Departments also requested shipping lines/shipping agents to commit to re-export all backlogged shipments identified as waste, hazardous waste, and scrap failing to meet national technical regulations on the environment out of the Vietnamese territory to avoid taking advantage of re-exporting only recyclable goods and leaving non-recyclable goods at Vietnamese seaports, causing environmental pollution.
