The Minister of Industry and Trade has ordered local authorities to close down border gas stations involved in gasoline smuggling.
As world oil prices continue to rise, Vietnam’s government-subsidized gasoline can be sold in Cambodia for a tidy profit.
Fuel smuggling is a growing problem in some southern provinces that border Cambodia, such as Kien Giang, An Giang, Long An, Tay Ninh and Dong Thap.
Deputy Minister Nguyen Cam Tu on Friday called for a thorough investigation of the activities of gas stations near the border.
Provincial authorities in border areas must set up special task forces to inspect fuel trading.
From August 1, only gas export and import companies will be allowed to supply fuel to gas stations in border areas.
Previously, many gas stations bought their fuel through agents.
Under the ministry’s decision, border gas station customers will not be able to fill containers with fuel.
Customers will only be able to fill up their vehicles at these gas stations.
Customers with foreign-registered vehicles will not be charged the domestic price for fuel.
Border gas stations will not be able to sell fuel before 6 a.m. and after 6 p.m.
People planning to open a new gas station in a border area will have to get approval from both the Minister of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Defense before opening.
