Phan Thi Huan, founder of Ba Huan JSC, confirmed that neither she nor her family members are involved in the company’s current operations or management.

The Customs Office at Saigon Port Area 3 (under the Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department Area 2) has issued a tax enforcement decision against Ba Huan JSC, headquartered at No. 2 Nguyen Dinh Chi Street, Binh Tay Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. The enforcement action involves suspending customs clearance procedures for the company’s import and export goods.

This enforcement was imposed due to the company’s overdue tax payments exceeding 90 days past the legal deadline. The total tax debt in question amounts to over 51.3 billion VND (approximately USD 2 million).

The customs decision is effective for one year, from November 10, 2025, to November 9, 2026, and will be lifted once the full tax amount is paid into the state budget.

Ba Huan JSC was originally established by renowned businesswoman Phan Thi Huan (born 1954), popularly known as “Ba Huan.”

From a young age, Huan dropped out of school and helped her mother carry baskets of eggs to market. She bought eggs from villagers in rural hamlets and resold them at local markets. As demand grew, she expanded her trade across provinces in the Mekong Delta and transported eggs to Ho Chi Minh City.

Selling eggs helped feed her family of eight siblings. After learning the trade from her mother, she eventually took over the business, officially launching the Ba Huan brand in 1985.

In July 2021, amid the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising input costs and production expenses pushed poultry egg businesses into losses. Despite this, as CEO at the time, Huan rejected the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade’s proposal to increase egg prices. She pledged to maintain stable supply during the crisis, with her company distributing around 1 million eggs per day to the city.

However, according to the National Business Registration Portal, Ba Huan JSC underwent a leadership change in September 2022. Since then, Tran Viet Hung (born 1985) has been serving as the company’s general director and legal representative.

Speaking with VietNamNet on November 13 regarding the tax enforcement against the company, Phan Thi Huan emphasized that she and her family have had no involvement in the company's management since the ownership transition. The transfer of shares from her family to Mr. Hung took place three years ago.

"Currently, the company’s tax debt has no relation to me or my family," she stated.
