After issuing 14 post-clearance audit decisions, the Post-Clearance Audit Customs Branch (HCM City Customs Department) sent customs official to the business registration addresses of these above companies to announce inspection decisions in accordance with provisions of law. However, all of these addresses do not have any businesses operating, and were houses, cafes or fake addresses.

Police and local authorities have confirmed to Customs authorities that businesses are not operating at the registered business addresses. Therefore, the Customs authorities cannot carry out the post-clearance audit to clarify whether or not these businesses have committed tax frauds and evasion.
