Dear Kanamaru san,
Moment please, the procedure is complicated than you can imaging.
Your Delivery term is FOB Vientiane, as invoice showing, so Lao Yamaki only arrange export customs clearance, and the transporter has to arrange all everything including the procedures for cross border at Lao side ( Bolykhamxay) & Vietnamese side (Cau Treo), implemented for the transit approval from the Ministry of Industrial & Commerce of Vietnam, Vietnamese General Customs Department,
The application for transit cargo took about 2 – 3 weeks to get the approval, based on the full set of original documents submit to Vietnam authorities.
Document needed for transportation and application for transit cargo permission:
- Letter of authorization.
- Transportation contract for transit cargo.
- Invoice
- Packing list
- Sales Contract
- Letter of confirmation and request from Lao Commerce Department/ Ministry of Commerce of Lao.
- Application Letter for transit cargo
- Transit Cargo permit form (Filling full details of the requester, the transporter name, routing, details of cargo/ packages, mode of transport..etc.
All above mention document is the agreed document between Vietnam & Lao government for transit cargo through Vietnam to oversea countries. You can also checking with your staff in Vientiane for further regulation if needed.
Kind regards,
Tran Tuan Anh
