Challenge
Navigating the evolving regulatory frameworks and technical requirements for importing personal hygiene and medical-use products into Vietnam.
To expand its distribution network in Vietnam, LiveDo Corporation needed to secure local product registrations for its specialized hygiene and medical consumables. The registration process in Vietnam demands precise alignment with local Ministry of Health (MOH) standards, including detailed raw material declarations, Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) verification, and strict labeling compliance, which can be challenging to manage from overseas without dedicated local expertise.

The team analyzed product classifications, prepared and translated the necessary technical dossiers to meet local regulatory guidelines, and coordinated communication with Vietnamese administrative bodies.
