Are you planning to import spare parts to Vietnam? Navigating the process can seem daunting, but with the proper preparation, it can be smooth and efficient. This guide simplifies the steps and essential information you need to get started or use the IOR service in Vietnam to import your products.
Before You Ship:
1. Gather Essential Documents:
Datasheet/Technical Sheet: This document helps determine the HS Code for your spare parts, impacting import duties and regulations.
Purchase Order/Sales Contract: This agreement details your purchase agreement with the supplier.
Commercial Invoice/Packing List: These documents provide shipment details like product descriptions, quantities, and values.
Import Permits (if applicable): Certain spare parts, like those related to civil cryptography or cybersecurity, may require specific import permits.
2. Ensure Proper Labeling:
Stricter labeling regulations (Decree 128/2020/ND-CP) require accurate labeling for smooth customs clearance.
Labeling helps authorities manage products, identify origins, and assign responsibility.
Essential Label Content (Decree No. 43/2017/ND-CP):
Manufacturer (address, company name)
Product name and details
Origin of goods
Importer and Exporter Information (Address, Company Name)
Language: Labels must be in English or translated into Vietnamese.
Red Channel Inspection: Customs will scrutinize label content for accuracy during stricter inspections.
Note: Importing used spare parts is prohibited in Vietnam. For information on importing refurbished products, please refer to our separate guide.
