SUBJECTS, CRITERIA FOR REWARD CONSIDERATION AND REWARD LEVELS

Article 4.- Enterprises of all economic sectors, which have been established according to the provisions of law and have recorded outstanding achievements in direct export, with high efficiency, meeting the criteria prescribed in Article 5 below, shall be considered for reward under this Regulation.

Article 5.- Criteria for reward consideration

Goods exporting enterprises prescribed in Article 4, which meet one of the following criteria, shall all be considered for reward. In cases where an enterprise simultaneously meets more than one criterion, each criterion shall be considered for a separate reward, but the total reward level must not exceed Vietnam dong 300 million:

5.1. Exporting a commodity (or a category of commodity) produced in Vietnam, which has, for the first time, been consumed on foreign markets, such goods category shall be added to the list of Vietnam export goods (other than the commodity or category of commodity the enterprise has, for the first time, exported abroad) and/or which have, for the first time, been efficiently consumed on new export markets with the annual turnover reaching USD 100,000 or more. Particularly for mountainous and island provinces, the annual turnover must reach USD 50,000 or more.

This criterion shall be applied to both cases (new commodity, new market). If either of these two cases reaches the level of USD 100,000 per year (or USD 50,000 per year), or their aggregated turnover reaches the above-mentioned level, the enterprise shall be proposed for reward consideration.

Export efficiency shall be calculated on the basis of each specific commodity proposed for reward consideration. The main criterion for efficiency determination is that the export of such commodity retrieves capital and gains profits.
