Vantage Provides Logistics Service for Ship Husbandry Service

In order to meet the market and shipowner’s demand, Vantage provides logistics services for Ship husbandry serviceIt is very important for ships and cruises to be supplied with necessary stuffs, clean water, fresh foods, fuel… as well as completed customs clearance procedures in a timely and legal manner when berthing in any country. Therefore, the need of having a local service provider capable to provide logistics service for ship husbandry services with cost-effectiveness and timely delivery, as the time of ship berthing in port is rather limited. Vantage just delivered 2 shipments for 5-star cruise Costa neoRomantica at Da Nang port in February. The Costa neoRomancita cruise at Da Nang port The 2 shipments of cosmetic products for Spa were sent from UK (1 package – 119kgs) and US (3 packages – 165kgs) by airway to Danang Airport and delivered onboard by the term of temporary import. Per customs’ regulations, these commodities are subject to Ministry of Industry and Trade’s permission, so upon receiving the information of the shipments, Vantage had proactively applied permit from authority and submitted to Customs to complete the procedures of temporary import at Da Nang Airport. And both shipments were to be physically checked by customs, Vantage’s team actively coordinated with all parties to prepare all necessary documents for customs inspection, preventing any delay that could cause to costs and risk of not catching the cruise before she departs. Since this is a cruise, her schedule is not fixed so it is a huge pressure on Vantage team to deliver the shipments on-time when the cruise arrives at the port; moreover, the delivery time was right at the time of the acute respiratory infection caused by a new strain of Coronavirus (officially name  COVID-19) starting to explode all over the world, the epidemic prevention and control activities were actively deployed on throughout the country so that all procedures relating to delivery and customs clearance are tightened. In the context of both urgent time, and ensuring the health and safety of employees, this is also one of the major difficulties for the team in charge of Vantage. To do that, Vantage had raced against time as well as actively connected with related parties such as port dispatchers, border guards, and Customs authorities so that the delivery could take place most favorably. After completing the temporary import procedures, both shipments were delivered to Da Nang port to implement the re-export procedures and loaded on board on February 13, 2020. Although this is not the large-scale shipment, but due to commodity and peculiar schedule of the cruise, the procedures of receipt and delivery of the shipments were pretty complicated, the on-time delivery of goods as requirements of the shipowner is a testament to the professionalism and devotion to the work and customer’s success of Vantage’s staff....

Vantage Logistics is Ready to Assist our Clients on Self-issuing Certificate of Origin

Self-issue Certificate of Origin (self-issue C/O) has become a new trend in the process of international economic integration of Vietnam. Self-issue C/O is no longer unfamiliar for developed economies, but it is still in the pilot stage for developing economies like Vietnam and some ASEAN members before being applied as a formal mechanism, which will be used paralelly with current popular C/O issuing mechanism.  The outstanding advantage of self-issue C/O is the proactiveness: the proactiveness in term of time, cost and human resources in the process of completing documents for export/import.  According this new mechanism, instead of applying for C/O to agencies authorized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT),  Vietnam enterprise now can self-issue certificates of origin for their own goods. This improvement can increase enterprise’s reputation to foreign business partners as well as saving time, cost, human resources, etc, therefore increasing the competitiveness of products which will be exported to markets where Vietnam/ASEAN already had FTA. In order to implement this mechanism, Vietnam enterprises need to be fully equipped with knowledge about the FTAs, export-import activities, especially the rules of origin and HS code which are applied to each export product, so that the determination of the origin of goods can be most accurate, avoiding negative effects on granting of preferential tariffs in countries importing goods from Vietnam.  We are ready to assist our clients on self-issuing C/O With the mission of providing the best service quality and supportiveness to our clients, Vantage’s staffs constantly improve our professional skill, especially knowledge in export-import field as well as updates on law and regulations of Vietnam Government.  Our staffs had completed the training course on self-issuing C/O under ATIGA which held by the  Ho Chi Minh City International Integration Support Center (CIIS). This is a marvelous training course in providing: in-depth knowledges related to rules of origin of goods and its importance in FTAs, specific regulations and guidelines on procedures for self-issue C/O form D under ATIGA which are stipulated in Circular 28/2015/TT-BCT dated 28/08/2015 and Circular 27/2017/TT-BCT dated 06/12/2017 by MoIT; information about self-issue C/O mechanism  for beneficiary countries within the framework of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP); typical examples and comparisons about the rules of origin of some FTAs, as well as practices and guidelines on applying the rules of origin under ATIGA to enjoy tariff preferences.
