Process explanation :
(1) The importer makes a request to open an L/C and submits the necessary documents to the bank, and makes a deposit as required so that the bank can issue the L/C for the benefit of the exporter.
(2) The bank issues the L/C in accordance with the requirements of the L/C opening application and transfers it to its correspondent bank in the exporting country.
(3) The advising bank sends the original L/C to the exporter so that he can evaluate the possibility of implementing the L/C and propose amendments when necessary.

1.5 Vietnam's wood export management mechanism
1.5.1 Domestic policies
1.5.1.1 In terms of planning
While many industries have Development Plans stipulated in a legal document, the wood processing industry only has one Plan issued by a Decision of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (an administrative document, not a legal document) - "Planning of the wood processing industry to 2020, vision to 2030" approved in Decision No. 2728/QD-BNN-CB dated October 31, 2012 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
In addition, the wood processing industry planning has also been stated in a planning document at the Prime Minister's Decision level: Master plan for agricultural production development to 2020 and vision to 2030 issued in Decision 124/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister dated February 2, 2012. However, in this document, the wood processing industry development planning is just one of many other agricultural sectors, with very little content mentioned.
1.5.1.2 Preferential policies
Currently, policies related to the wood processing industry are mainly policies for the development and restructuring of the forestry industry (forest planting, management and use), there are very few specific policies and laws specifically for the wood processing industry. However, in reality, some preferential policies for the wood processing industry have been applied such as:
Decree 210/2013/ND-CP on policies to encourage enterprises to invest in agriculture and rural areas (including regulations on supporting investment in processing special planted forest wood for the Northwestern provinces and provinces with poor districts; supporting investment in manufacturing, preserving and processing facilities for agricultural, forestry and fishery products.
Decree 75/2011/ND-CP dated August 30, 2011 of the Government on State investment credit and export credit (subsequently amended and supplemented by Decree 54/2013/ND-CP dated May 22, 2013 and Decree 133/2013/ND-CP dated October 17, 2013) (according to this Decree, the production of exported wooden furniture is classified in the Handicraft Group in the List of goods eligible for export credit loans; however, to comply with international commitments, the loan interest rate is stipulated to be determined according to the principle of being consistent with market interest rates. Therefore, in principle, this is not a preferential credit policy.
Domestic support policies for the forestry industry, through which the wood processing industry indirectly benefits, in recent times, the Government has had many policies to invest in forest development through specific support programs, with an important contribution from non-refundable ODA capital (according to statistics, about 560 million USD for the period 2005-2020) such as:
Project to plant 5 million hectares of forest (Project 661 - implementing Decision 661/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister dated July 29, 1998 on objectives, tasks, policies and organization of implementation of the Project to plant 5 million hectares of new forest)
Program 327 (according to Decision 327-CT dated September 15, 1992 of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers on a number of policies and strategies for using bare land, bare hills, forests, coastal alluvial plains and water surfaces)
Decision 57/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister dated January 9, 2012 approving the forest protection and development plan for the period 2011-2020.
1.5.1.3 Control policy
In recent years, the wood processing industry has been subject to a number of tightening policies and regulations, focusing on four groups:
Group of policies related to reducing exploitation, moving towards temporarily stopping exploitation of natural forests (for example: Decision No. 186/2006/Đ-TTg, dated August 14, 2006 of the Prime Minister 27/VBHN-BNNPTNT promulgating the Forest Management Regulation; Decision No. 57/QD-TTg dated January 9, 2012 of the Prime Minister approving the Forest Protection and Development Plan for the period 2011-2020.
Group of policies related to ensuring the legal origin of raw wood (for example: Circular No. 01/2012/TT-BNNPTNT dated January 4, 2012 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development regulating legal forest product dossiers and checking the origin of forest products, amended and supplemented by Circular 42/2012/TT-BNNPTNT).
Group of policies related to plant quarantine for timber and non-timber forest products.
Group of export control procedures for wooden furniture (e.g. the VPA/FLEGT Agreement currently being negotiated with the EU).
1.5.2 International policy
1.5.2.1 Tariff policy
Through international trade agreements, tariffs on processed wood products have generally been sharply reduced, with a significantly deeper reduction than on agricultural and forestry products. MFN tariffs (most favored nation tariffs, applied within the WTO framework) on imported wooden furniture in major markets (the US, EU, etc.) have nearly reached 0% on many tariff lines. Preferential tariffs in FTAs for wooden furniture have almost been completely eliminated.
This is a very favorable condition for the Vietnamese wood processing industry to develop, expand its market and significantly increase its competitiveness in export markets, especially the world's major consumer markets.
However, from a domestic perspective, along with other subjective reasons, recent easy tariff policies may be one of the fundamental reasons why Southeast Asian, Taiwanese and Chinese wooden products can easily access the Vietnamese wooden product market, competing with domestic products. This will also be a big challenge for Vietnamese wooden product manufacturers in the coming time.
1.5.2.2 Policy on non-tax measures
Also through the WTO and FTAs, common non-tariff measures such as quotas and import licenses for processed wood products in most markets have been removed.
Some specific policies related to trade of some high-value wood species such as export tax policies, export bans, etc. are still maintained but with limited scope and have almost no major impact on total wood furniture trade, especially processed wood furniture.
1.5.2.3 Technical barriers
The group of TBT measures that currently has the strongest impact on processed timber trade are regulations on verifying the legal origin of timber.
In the United States, this measure is included in a law called Lacey (full name is the Conservation Act) with major amendments to wood products in 2008. This law is believed to have a wide impact on Vietnamese wooden furniture exports when the US market currently accounts for nearly half of Vietnam's total wooden furniture export turnover.
Measures on the legal origin of timber in the EU market are implemented under the FLEGT Action Plan (Action Plan on Trade, Governance and Enforcement of Forest Law). To implement FLEGT, the EU has designed a mechanism that allows relevant exporting countries to self-monitor the FLEGT compliance of their export products through negotiating and signing Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) with the EU. The nature of VPAs is to transfer the authority to confirm that timber meets the requirements of legal origin and is eligible for import into the EU from the EU border control agencies to the management agencies of the exporting country, provided that the procedures and criteria for granting certification (FLEGT licenses) must meet the requirements of the EU. Vietnam is currently in the process of negotiating and signing this VPA with the EU.
1.6 Current status of Vietnam's wood export and issues raised
1.6.1 Current status of Vietnam's wood exports
Wood processing is one of the few industries that is considered to have successfully integrated with rapidly increasing export turnover and making an important contribution to Vietnam's export achievements and creating a position in global wooden furniture exports.
Currently, wood products export ranks 6th among 10 key export industries of Vietnam. In the world, Vietnam is among the top largest exporting countries in the world, ranked 2nd in Asia and 1st in Southeast Asia.
