Launched support packages of tens of trillion dong, restructuring time for debt payment, tax rescheduling … but with strict conditions, not all businesses (enterprises) can access it. The business community just wants to simplify administrative procedures to bring goods to the market.
It takes 35 days to complete a procedure
Mr. Nguyen Hoai Nam, Deputy Secretary General of the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) shared that specialized inspection procedures for many years have only increased, not decreased.
Specific evidence, Mr. Nam said, the registration procedure to use foreign bar codes requires many papers and documents that are difficult to obtain from customers, must be submitted directly to GS1 (National Barcode Organization). practice), not being done online, so businesses take a lot of time and sometimes do not have enough documents as required by GS1.
In many cases, enterprises were sanctioned by customs for their administrative violations because they could not obtain GS1’s certificate, while the significance of state management was not much. Therefore, the representative of VASEP proposed to remove this regulation (specified in Decree 74/2018 / ND-CP).
It can be seen that, not only domestic enterprises, but also the foreign-invested business community, many of Vietnam’s administrative procedures are cumbersome, with too long waiting times. Especially, the issue of business and investment licensing under the management of ministries and branches still lacks links, causing very delay, affecting businesses.
Particularly on the issue of barcode application, Mr. Nguyen Hong Uy, representative of the Nutrition Food Subcommittee of the European Business Association in Vietnam (EuroCham), also reflected to register a foreign code and barcode at Vietnam really takes a lot of time.

When the more complex the management and specialized inspection, the more time it takes, the lost businesses cannot be calculated with money. Complicated inspection mechanism creates great risks for businesses when doing business, enterprises encounter many shortcomings when bringing products to the market.
Ms. Nguyen Minh Thao, Head of Research Department of Business Environment and Competitiveness, Central Institute for Economic Management affirmed that long period of specialized examination will cost businesses such as costs. storage, administrative fines, slow customs clearance, charges for yards.
According to experts, in addition to the cash support, improving the workflow is a very urgent requirement, in order to quickly overcome the overlap, remove bottlenecks, bottlenecks, promote reforms, renew.
