Ministry of Finance has just proposed to Ministry of Police and Ministry of Transport that when registering imported automobile and motorbike, it may not require declaration of origin in dossier for operation registration.

According to Ministry of Finance, at present, form of declaration of origin of imported automobile and motorbike is only sold to enterprises by Customs Office when enterprises complete all customs procedures, after that enterprises fill information in declaration of origin form, and stamp then return to Customs Office for certifying. While origin of vehicles may be defined by customs declaration and by invoice issued to users.
