Exports are entering a period of increasingly intense competition amid unpredictable developments. Changes in laws and policies in importing markets are heightening the risk of disputes arising from the performance of international commercial contracts and the transportation of goods. In this context, as Dong Nai is one of the country’s major industrial and logistics hubs, the early identification and prevention of disputes have become an urgent priority. In response, Dong Nai is implementing various measures to support businesses in proactively managing risks and minimizing potential losses in import-export activities. At legal consultation points for businesses across the city, many enterprises have sought assistance with issues relating to international commercial contracts and logistics. According to a survey, nearly 78% of logistics enterprises had not yet been able to prepare the necessary documentation in accordance with the new regulations. Delays in customs clearance have resulted in additional warehousing and storage costs, causing losses for both businesses and their partners.
