The
protocol, which was signed in Vientiane, Laos on April 26, 2017 and took
effect on May 26, 2017, changed regulations on the border gates and routes
for transited goods.
In order
to guide the implementation of the commitments stated in the protocol,
Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh issued Circular 06/2017-TT-BCT,
on May 25, 2017, which amends Circular 22/2009/TT-BCT dated August 4, 2009 on
regulations on the transit of Laos’ goods through Vietnamese territory.
Accordingly,
the revised protocol stipulates that goods will only be allowed transit through
international border gates. Routes for the transport of goods will be decided
in line with the regulations of the Ministry of Transport.
