Tariffs on some Lao imports slashed by 50 percent

A variety of goods imported directly from Laos will benefit from a 50 percent tax cut until 2013, according to a circular issued by the Ministry of Finance on April 22.

Circular 80/2009/TT-BTC states that the import tax reduction will be applied to rice, sugar, eggs, and poultry and its by-products originating from Laos.

Only goods imported directly from Laos to Vietnam through 17 border gates specified by the trade ministries of Vietnam and Laos will be eligible for the tax reduction.

Currently, many goods traded between Laos and Vietnam are exempt from import tax thanks to a preferential import-export tax agreement signed earlier this year.
