What is VNACCS? What should I do if I want to register?
What is VNACCS?
VNACCS stands for the English phrase "Vietnam Automated Cargo And Port Consolidated System" , which is a new automatic customs clearance system of Vietnam Customs. VNACCS was officially deployed and applied in April 2014 after a long period of careful preparation and testing. The system was established in part thanks to the non-refundable aid package the Japanese Government provided to Vietnam.
Export - import activities are one of the important activities of countries and Vietnam is no exception. Import and export activities are carried out through the Customs agency. Previously, import and export procedures were carried out through certain administrative steps. However, these administrative procedures cause many obstacles for businesses, individuals, import-export organizations, as well as difficulties in the management process of state agencies. With the development of information technology and the State's innovation policy, the VNACCS system was born.

In case a business has more than 1 digital signature (but the same Tax Code), when registering for an administrative account, one of those digital signatures can be used for authentication.
Register for a VNACCS account : This is the account used in Customs declaration transactions (like digital signatures and Account connection on the V4 electronic system).

Some regulations changes of VNACCS
- Regarding declaration and processing of information declared before customs clearance:
Before customs clearance, the VNACCS system supports and focuses on processing information before goods arrive/declared to serve customs inspection and supervision at the declaration stages.
One of the relatively major changes in the VNACCS System is related to processed goods, export production and export processing. When applying the VNACCS System, it will be implemented in the direction of liquidity for each declaration and management for each means of transport. Enterprises will perform self-declaration, self-responsibility and self-liquidation. Customs authorities only check on the basis of risk management information for liquidity.
- Regarding valuation:
Currently, Vietnam applies 06 Value Declaration forms corresponding to 06 methods of determining value. When applying the VNACCS System, it allows to include a number of indicators of the value declaration according to the transaction value method into the import declaration. Therefore, basically, for the transaction value method, there is no need to declare a separate value declaration as currently. To ensure quick customs clearance of goods, shipments with questionable prices will move to the post-customs clearance stage for determination. Which department handles this will be specifically considered before putting this system into operation.
- Regarding customs management regime:
According to current regulations, there are currently over 200 export and import codes. To ensure and facilitate customs management and statistics, and based on recommendations of the revised Kyoto Convention, the VNACCS System standardizes customs management regimes with about 40 export type codes. import, export. Besides, when implementing the VNACCS/VCIS System, there will be no distinction between commercial and non-commercial types, the difference is mainly in terms of documents. In addition, some specific types such as goods brought in and out of border residents, national security and defense goods, and low-value goods will be processed manually.
- Regarding customs supervision and management for some types:
When applying the VNACCS System, the system will be implemented in the direction of simplification, consolidating procedures in the direction of border gate transfer, port transfer, transit, etc. in terms of goods transported under supervision. of customs because the nature of the transfer of goods from one location to another is subject to customs supervision. Currently there is no type for port transfer. Therefore, based on the revised Kyoto Convention and the practice of Customs of other countries, in the draft revised and supplemented Customs Law, this content is included in the direction that transport enterprises are responsible for updating information and Feedback information on the system about transported goods under Customs supervision at the point of departure and destination to serve customs monitoring and supervision.

General assessment of advantages and disadvantages of VNACCS
PROSHIP has clarified the concept of the term VNACCS as well as the latest regulations of VNACCS, followed by general comments and assessments on the advantages and disadvantages of VNACCS that businesses should update. That is:
Advantages of VNACCS
For customs declarants, this new system, if implemented correctly, will have some outstanding advantages as follows:
- No distinction between Commercial and Non-commercial types: This means that these two types only differ in documents and similar customs clearance procedures. Currently, procedures for non-commercial goods are much more complicated and complicated than for business goods;
- Fast customs clearance speed (using digital signature): With the Green channel it only takes 1-3 seconds, meaning that after just clicking the mouse, the results are almost there. With the Yellow or Red channel, of course the processing time is longer. Management depends on the level of standardization of the documents and goods;
- Reducing the number of types of import and export: It is expected that the VNACCS system will standardize to only about 40 codes of export and import types (instead of more than 200 as currently). Thus, the lookup is also easier for customs declarants;
- Limit paper documents: Thanks to the link between ministries and branches (when implementation is complete) through software, documents (for example: state quality inspection) will be sent directly to customs. In addition, with the green channel you will not need to go to the customs department.
Disadvantages of VNACCS
VNACCS has a number of disadvantages for users: The most obvious disadvantage is that it is more complicated with a greater number of criteria that must be declared. This will cause difficulties for many import-export businesses that do not have their own specialized department. In these cases, it is necessary to hire a professional delivery service.
