The Ministry of Industry and Commerce has issued Instruction Letter No. 0395/MOIC dated 25 February 2011 to Vientiane Capital, Provincial Departments of Industry and Commerce and District Offices of Industry and Commerce throughout the country, to call off or terminate the issuing of authorization letters for the movement of all types of goods apart from some goods that require authorization from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

This provision was implemented to allow smooth movements of goods but officers in some departments are still demanding that the business sector should request a letter of authorization. Therefore, to ensure that this instruction is implemented effectively, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has issued Instruction Letter No 2215/MOIC, Dated 21 November 2011 addressed to related departments both at central and provincial level instructing them to terminate the request of a letter of authorization for the transport of goods.
