Wood chip exports through Chan May Port have become increasingly vibrant

At the conference, participants were briefed on key contents of the Government’s Decree No. 384/2026/ND-CP on determining Vietnamese origin for goods manufactured and circulated domestically. They also provided feedback on draft circulars issued by the Minister of Industry and Trade, providing guidance on the implementation of the Law on Foreign Trade Management regarding the origin of goods.

The conference also updated participants on new points in the rules of origin under the free trade agreements (FTAs) to which Vietnam is a party, helping businesses understand the regulations and make effective use of tariff preferences.

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Phan Hung Son, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade, said that in the first 10 months of 2026, production, business, and import-export activities in the locality continued to maintain positive growth. Export turnover was estimated at USD 1,458.44 million, up 18.77% year on year, and equivalent to 91.15% of the annual target. Goods produced by businesses in the city had been exported to approximately 56 countries and territories.

According to Mr. Phan Hung Son, despite these achievements, export activities are facing numerous challenges as importing markets tighten controls on supply chains, transparency, and rules of origin. Therefore, keeping up to date with and gaining a deep understanding of the new regulations is of great importance, helping businesses limit risks and improve their ability to meet market requirements.
