Conditions for inspection and supervision of the export processing enterprise (EPE)
The General Department of Customs in August 2023 specified the conditions for inspection and supervision of the export processing enterprise (EPE) as follows:
- If an EPE does not have enough space for a warehouse to store goods for its export processing activities within the export processing zone, industrial zone, and economic zone, it can lease a space outside the industrial zone and economic zone provided that the leased space is surrounded by a hard fence and includes surveillance cameras.
- The warehouse leased by EPEs is not required to have separate walls between the goods of such EPEs stored in the warehouse, if the warehouse satisfies certain conditions.
