On June 30, 2021, the Ministry of Construction issues the Circular No. 04/2021/TT-BXD prescribing guidelines for exporting minerals for use as building materials.
Accordingly, minerals used as building materials for export having legal origins include minerals mined under a License for mining, a License to fully exploit minerals or an enclosed Decision on mining minerals issued by a competent state agency which is still effective in accordance with law regulations on minerals.
Mineral exporting enterprises must make annual reports (or irregular reports at the request of competent agencies) and submit them to the Departments of Construction to report to provincial-level People's Committees (where such enterprises perform export activities) in accordance with the specified form before January 15 every year. Annually (or irregularly at the request of competent agencies) provincial-level People's Committees shall report on the situation of mineral exporting in accordance with the specified form before January 30 every year.
In addition, the list, specifications and technical criteria of minerals used as building materials for export are specified in Appendix I issued together with this Circular (except for minerals temporarily imported for re-export, border-gate transfer or transit).
This Circular takes effect from August 28, 2021.
