 Introduction
 Customs Formalities
 Import Duty & Tax

Introduction
 Import Trading rights: Vietnam, under both its WTO Commitments and its
domestic laws, extends import and export activities to “all foreign individuals and
enterprises (including foreign-invested enterprises).”
In effect, with the import right, a foreign-invested company:
 (i) can be the importer of record; and
 (ii) can sell its imported products to distributors (licensed wholesalers or
retailers) in Vietnam; but
 (iii) with just the import right alone, it cannot sell its imported products to final
consumers.
Companies that do not have their own import license must work through
licensed traders, who typically charge a commission of between one and two
percent of the value of the invoice. Under Vietnamese law, the importer is the
consignee. Therefore, it is important to identify a reliable importer with the ability
to clear merchandise through customs quickly and efficiently. If a licensed third-
party importer is used, the importer will handle customs clearance.

Customs Formalities
 Customs activities including of :
a. Fill in and submit the Customs declaration forms; submit, produce documents
attributed to the Customs dossiers;
b. Conduct goods and/or transport means to the designated sites for physical
inspection;
c. Pay taxes and fulfill other financial obligations as prescribed by law;
 A Customs dossier shall consist of:
a. Declaration form;
b. Commercial invoices;
c. Goods purchase and sale contract;
d. Permit of the competent State body for goods exported, imported or transited or
transport means on exit, entry or in transit, which are subject to such permit under the
provisions of law;
e. Other documents as prescribed by law for each goods item, which the Customs
declarant must submit or produce to the Customs offices.
 More information on www.customs.gov.vn

Vietnam Customs is tasked to inspect and supervise goods and transport means;
to prevent and combat smuggling and illegal cross-border transportation of goods;
to organize the implementation of tax legislation with regard to export and import
goods; to propose policies and measures for Customs-related State management
over the export, import, exit, entry and transit activities as well as tax policies for
export and import goods.

Import Duty & Tax
 Where an international agreement which the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has
signed or acceded to contains provisions different from those of this Law, the
provisions of such international agreement shall apply.
 For cases which have not yet been provided for by this Law, other legal
documents of Vietnam and international agreement which the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam has signed or acceded to, the international conventions and practices on
Customs may be applied provided that such application is not in conflict with the
fundamental principles of Vietnamese law.
 Customs tariff rates are set by Decision No. 280/ttg of 25 April 1994 and are
amended according to international changes; tariff rates range from 0 to 60%.
 Three kind of tariff rates apply to imported goods:
Ordinary tariffs apply to goods originating from countries that have not exchanged
normal Trade Relations (NTR) agreements with Vietnam;
The Preferential Tariffs are set on goods imported from countries having NTR status
with Vietnam; and
The Special Tariffs apply to goods imported from countries having exchanged special
preferential tariffs agreements with Vietnam, e.g. ASEAN member countries.

 WCO_World Customs Organization
Vietnam applies a six-digit tariff nomenclature basically corresponding to the
Harmonized Commodity Description (HS 96) as of 1 January 2000. Some subheadings
are further elaborated at an eight-digit level for tariff and statistical purposes.
 In line with AFTA (Asean Free Trade Agreement), Vietnam is converting its
current 6-digit tariff nomenclature into 8-digit system, i.e. the Asean Harmonized
Tariff Nomenclature (AHTN), which is based on the World Customs Organization's
HS2K.
 Other regional trade agreement
CEPT (Asean)
ACFTA (Asean – China)
