What is a minor quota?
Currently, commodity trade plays an important role in economic development. Among them is the role of trade between neighboring countries, and from there the terms "Official quota" and "Small quota" appeared. So, what is a small quota? This is a legal form of international trade taking place between people of two countries living along a common border. The turnover of each commodity transaction is usually small and complies with the law. Compared to Chinh Ngach transportation, Small quota transportation is much simpler. Carriers can easily bring goods to the border when filling out a border declaration and paying border fees.
For example, informal trade between Vietnam and China is trade activities between Vietnamese residents and Chinese residents living near the border. Each purchase transaction must not exceed 2 million VND/person/day according to Vietnamese law. Because of the small value criteria, this form of trade is called small-quota trade.
Small-scale trade will have low stability because the value of each transaction is small. Therefore, the item that is imported most often is fruit. This causes the general turnover of small-scale trade to change depending on season, weather or changes in quarantine policy.
Small-scale trading is also considered a trading method that can easily be exploited to avoid taxes. The reason is because unofficial import taxes are often lower than official import taxes, and related procedures are also simpler. Therefore, a business hires many people in border areas to make purchases to avoid paying a lot of taxes.
* Items that should not be imported through unofficial channels:
- Currency, paper money and objects of equivalent value;
- Illegal goods and depraved cultural products;
- All kinds of antiques, treasures, and national treasures;
- Weapons, ammunition, military weapons...;
- Stimulants, drugs, opium...;
- Perishable items such as fresh food, etc.;
- Items that are easily dangerous to the environment.
Risks of small-quota goods transportation
Unofficial transportation is much simpler than official transportation, so there are certain risks as follows:
LATEST UPDATE PICTURES OF CONTAINER PROSHIP LOGISTICS TRACTOR
- Goods are NOT guaranteed to be safe: Normally, to bring goods to Vietnam without going through the border gate, the goods will be transported through mountain passes and bumpy mountain roads, and carried through trails and open paths. Therefore, goods are easily damaged, lost, and even many shipments are damaged to the point of being unusable;
- The rights of the parties are HARD to be guaranteed: Exchanges and purchases between citizens often do not have enough papers, documents or commercial contracts. In case of a dispute, the interests of the parties involved are difficult to ensure. Even the owner of that lot will suffer the heaviest damage;
- DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE QUALITY OF GOODS: Goods transported via unofficial channels are often more difficult to control quality than those transported through official channels. Therefore, many people take advantage of swapping and mixing bad, fake, and poor quality goods. Therefore, if inspected by customs, it will be difficult to explain and easily confiscated, causing the buyer to suffer economic losses.
