From April 7 to June 30, the Government will waive a range of fees and charges in aviation, maritime, inland waterways, and rail transport to ease costs for businesses amid rising fuel prices.
Under Circular 40/2026/TT-BTC issued on April 6, 2026 by the Ministry of Finance, certain fees will be exempt for the transport sectors.
For waterways and maritime operations, exemptions cover: vessel tonnage fees; maritime safety charges; fees for using mooring locations at water areas; maritime protest fees; and port entry and exit fees.
