Furthermore, the government will ease procedures for the release of goods with rush handling services through filing an application replete with the customs document and collateral.
The collateral will not be required when the finance minister has issued a decree on exemptions, and accordingly, the goods will not be subject to physical inspection, he expounded.
The facilities can also be granted through bonded logistics centers or issued through bonded zones or bonded warehouse, special economic zone, and free zone.
Applications for the facilities should be addressed to the finance minister via the chief of the Customs Office through which the goods are imported. (INE)
