The Ministry of Finance is drafting a Government Resolution to extend the duration of Decree No. 72/2026/ND-CP, issued on March 9, 2026, which lowers preferential import tax rates for certain gasoline, diesel products and production inputs to 0% under the preferential import tariff schedule. The draft resolution would extend the 0% rate to June 30, 2026.
The Ministry said Decree 72/2026/NĐ-CP was issued to simplify the import tariff regime and help ensure adequate fuel supply amid global volatility. The Ministry of Industry and Trade assessed that the 0% tax has supported firms in diversifying supply sources and mitigating adverse effects from fluctuations in global energy prices.
It also noted that ongoing conflicts in the Middle East have disrupted supply chains from traditional markets, including Korea and ASEAN. In this context, the 0% tariff has helped domestic firms access alternative sources outside the region, supporting fuel supply security. However, the Ministry said the situation remains complex and unpredictable, with constrained supply and rising world oil prices.
The proposal to extend the applicability of Decree 72/2026/NĐ-CP to June 30, 2026 would apply the 0% rate to certain raw materials for fuel production listed under HS codes 2710.19.20 (Crude oil with light fraction separated), 2710.19.89 (Other heavy oils and products) and 2711.19.00 (Other).
After the resolution expires, the import tax rates would revert to the provisions of Decree 26/2023/NĐ-CP and Decree 72/2026/NĐ-CP.
The draft resolution also states that on March 9, 2026, Decree 72/2026/NĐ-CP already reduced the tariff rate from 10% to 0% for certain fuels and feedstocks, including items under HS 2710.12.x and related inputs. It further describes additional reductions for diesel, aviation fuels, kerosene, and certain petrochemical feedstocks.
