From February 18, 2025, Decision No. 78/2010/QĐ-TTg on import tax exemption for goods valued under 1 million VND sent via express delivery services will officially be abolished, following Decision No. 01/2025/QĐ-TTg recently issued by the Prime Minister.

• Decision No. 78/2010/QĐ-TTg (November 30, 2010) allowed import tax and VAT exemptions for imported goods valued under 1 million VND.
• Currently, 4-5 million small-value orders are imported daily from China through e-commerce platforms.
• The VNACCS/VCIS customs declaration system has electronically processed more than 99% of procedures..

Abolishing Decision No. 78/2010/QĐ-TTg:

• Ensuring fairness with domestically produced goods.
• Reducing price discrepancies and encouraging domestic consumption.
• Increasing budget revenue and ensuring proper tax collection in line with the Party and State’s policies.

The new decision emphasizes strengthening tax management, eliminating the causes of trade fraud, and ensuring a healthy business environment for domestic enterprises.

• 2025: A Year of Innovation and Challenges in the Express Delivery Industry

As we step into 2025, the express delivery industry is undergoing significant transformations, led by major companies such as FedEx, DHL, and UPS.

• FedEx has announced plans to spin off its transportation business to focus on the core operations of FedEx Express. Despite a slight decline in revenue, the company remains optimistic about the future, focusing on cost reduction and share buybacks.
• DHL is applying artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize its supply chain, with technologies such as computer vision and generative AI playing a key role. The company is also focusing on sustainable logistics to reduce emissions and improve efficiency.
• UPS plans to increase shipping rates by 5.9% from the end of the peak season to support expansion and capacity enhancement. Despite rising labor costs and fluctuating market conditions, UPS is committed to maintaining high-quality services and adapting to market demands.
