Certain products, such as food products, health supplements, cosmetics, and medical devices, may require registration, declarations, notifications, or approvals before they can be imported, distributed, or sold in Vietnam.
Requirements vary by product category.
Common documents may include product specifications, testing reports, manufacturer information, Certificates of Free Sale (CFS), authorisation letters, and other supporting documentation required by the relevant authorities.
Some registrations may be completed within a few weeks, while others can take longer if additional reviews or supporting documents are required.
Some products require formal registration, while others may be subject to declaration or notification procedures before they can be introduced into the Vietnam market.
