  • ####Vietnam Trade Policy

● The Ministry of Industry and Trade is the ministry responsible for trade in Vietnam.

● Vietnam is phasing out import quota restrictions.

● Regarding exports, Vietnam mainly adopts measures such as export bans, export tariffs and quantitative restrictions to manage them.

● Vietnam's import and export inspection and quarantine work is carried out by different departments depending on the type of goods, with the Ministry of Health in charge of food and drug inspection and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in charge of animal, plant and other agricultural products inspection.

  • ####Notes on Exporting to Vietnam

Customs clearance documents: bill of lading, invoice, packing list and certificate of origin (FORM E or CO).

Customs declarants must provide sufficiently accurate information about the goods to allow for timely clearance of the goods. Poor, incomplete commodity descriptions and under-declared goods may be rejected by local customs, and discrepancies between forecast and actual weights may cause delays in customs clearance, so it is important to ensure that all information on the waybill is accurate.

Vietnam has a shorter sailing time and longer customs clearance time. Make sure you talk to your freight forwarder about applying for a stack-free period and a container-free period at the port of destination. It is best to do electric release, and when releasing the bill of lading, you should pay attention to whether the full payment has been received.

  • ####Taxation policy for imported goods in Vietnam

Any individual or business entity engaged in the importation of goods in Vietnam is required to calculate and pay import duties and taxes on the value of the goods (i.e. CIF). Imported goods are also subject to VAT and special consumption tax.

Vietnam's current tariff system consists of four rates: the General Rate, the Most Favoured Nation Rate, the ASEAN Free Trade Area Rate and the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area Preferential Rate.

Goods originating from China are subject to the preferential China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (FTA) tariff rates. Under the China-ASEAN FTA goods trade agreement, Vietnam will achieve zero tariffs on 90% of Chinese goods by 2018 and reduce tariffs on the remaining goods by 5-50% by 2020. Declaration of preferential tariffs for the China-ASEAN FTA should meet the rules of origin and direct transport rules.

Imported goods with a value (CIF) not exceeding VND1 million are exempt from tariffs. However, VAT and special consumption tax may still be levied.

VAT = standard VAT rate of 10% x (CIF price + applicable customs duty) Special consumption tax is levied on certain goods at a rate between 10% and 65%.

  • ####Vietnam Customs

Vietnam Customs has implemented preferential policies on import and export tax exemptions for processing trade, specifically.

  The import of raw materials and auxiliary materials under incoming materials and sample processing is exempted from import tax and the products produced are exempted from export tax; the import of raw materials and auxiliary materials under incoming materials processing is exempted from import tax, but the processing is required to be completed and re-exported within 90 days, and if it cannot be re-exported on schedule, the Customs will impose an export delay tax of 0.2% on the value of the imported materials and pay the import duty of the unexported sector, which will be refunded when the products are all exported.

Part 3.Air Freight Shipping from China to Vietnam

You may have a shipment of goods that needs to be exported urgently. In terms of the mode of transport, sea freight, it is the longest of all modes of transport, so it is not taken into account. Trucking, although it is faster than sea freight, still takes longer.

The best select for this is air freight.

Rest assured that not only is it fast, it is also safe and guarantees transportation from China to Vietnam.

  • ####Main Airport in Vietnam

Tan Son Nhat International Airport

The Vietnam Airports Corporation manages the airport.

As of 2015, a total of 430,627 tonnes of cargo passed through the airport. The airport is centrally located in Ho Chi Minh City and its location makes it difficult to expand further.

It is for this reason that a new airport to serve the international market is under construction. The first phase of construction will be completed in 2025. The new airport has another name, which is Longqing International Airport.

NoiBai International Airport

It is situated in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.

In terms of capacity, it is the biggest airport in Vietnam, but even so it is only the second busiest.

The airport is situated on 650 hectares of land.

It serves the surrounding cities of Hanoi, VĩnhYên, BắcNinh and TháiNguyê, and is also the main hub for Vietnam Airlines, Vieltjet and Jetstar Pacific, the national flag carrier of Vietnam.

The airport is connected to the eastern suburbs of Hanoi via National Highway 3 and to the centre of Hanoi via the NhậtTân Bridge. As of 2017, it handled a total of 566,000 tonnes of cargo.

Da Nang International Airport

. Da Nang International Airport is located in Da Nang, the largest city in central Vietnam.

It is an important crossroads to central Vietnam. A new terminal building is also under construction to add more capacity.

Cam Ranh International Airport

Cam Ranh International Airport is located in Cam Ranh Bay, in the town of Cam Ranh.

It was built in KhánhHòa province in southeastern Vietnam. Owned and operated by the Vietnamese government, it is currently undergoing renovation and will be able to handle 10,000 tonnes of cargo until 2020. The airport's location on the other hand also helps to serve the city of Nha Long.
