# DISCLAIMER 

This report was prepared by the Office of Agricultural Affairs of the
USDA/Foreign Agricultural Service in (Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City,
Vietnam) for U.S. exporters of domestic food and agricultural products.
While every possible care was taken in the preparation of this report,
information provided may not be completely accurate either because
policies have changed since its preparation, or because clear and
consistent information about these policies was not available. It is
highly recommended that U.S. exporters verify the full set of import
requirements with their foreign customers, who are normally best
equipped to research such matters with local authorities, before any
goods are shipped. FINAL IMPORT APPROVAL OF ANY PRODUCT IS SUBJECT TO
THE IMPORTING COUNTRY\'S RULES AND REGULATIONS AS INTERPRETED BY BORDER
OFFICIALS AT THE TIME OF PRODUCT ENTRY

# SECTION I: FOOD LAWS

Vietnam is working to update the Food Safety Ordinance ratified in 2003
to the Vietnam's Food Safety Law. Recently, a Food Safety Law drafting
committee was formed that is headed by the health minister. Vietnam
plans to have the final law draft to submit to the National Assembly by
June 2009. Post will follow-up the law updating progress.

Vietnam's Standing Committee of the National Assembly (NA), the
country\'s legislature approved the Ordinance on Food Safety in July 22,
2003, which regulates the hygienic processing of foods and foodstuffs.

The ordinance, with seven chapters and 58 articles, provides that all
food producers and processors, including households, individuals, and
organizations, must ensure hygiene during processing.

It bans all activities processing stale, addled, contaminated, poisonous
and unclean foods, which are harmful to people\'s health. The trading of
food and foodstuffs containing germs or disease is also prohibited.

The ordinance regulates all genetically modified foods, which are quite
new for most Vietnamese consumers, must be clearly labeled as such.

The ordinance became effective from November 01, 2003 (for more detail
pls. see VM
[3014](http://www.fas.usda.gov/gainfiles/200308/145985864.pdf))

# SECTION II: LABELLING REQUIREMENTS

On August 30, 2006, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung signed Decree No.
89/2006/ND-CP on goods labeling. This replaces Prime Minister Decision
No. 178/1999/QDTTg of August 30, 1999 that promulgated the Regulation on
labeling of domestically circulated and exported and imported goods, and
Decision No. 95/2000/QD-TTg of August 15, 2000 that provided adjustments
and supplements to it. The new decree would normally have been effective
in March 2007, six months after publication in the Official Gazette, but
due to a delay in issuing the implementing guidelines, it only went into
effect from September 2007. (see
[VM7037](http://www.fas.usda.gov/gainfiles/200706/146291321.doc))

On April 6, 2007 Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) issued
Circular No.09/2007/TT-BKHCN to provides guidance on the implementation
of the Good Labelling Decree No.86/2006/ND-CP (see
VM[7038](http://www.fas.usda.gov/gainfiles/200706/146291322.doc))

In addition, Vietnam Food Administration (VFA) of Ministry of Health
(MOH) also completed a draft regulation on labelling of packaged food
products (see VM 8020). However, the regulation is not approved.

# SECTION III: PACKAGING AND CONTAINER REGULATIONS

There are no regulations on the size or weight of imported food
containers. Additionally, there are no laws or regulations on container
product recycling.

However, there are restrictions on the use of packaging materials. On
December 19, 2007, Vietnam Ministry of Health (MOH) issued Decision
No.46/2007/QD-BYT on "Maximum Permitted Level of Biological and Chemical
Residue Allowed in Food". Part 4 of the Decision sets requirements on
hygiene and safety requirements on food packaging materials (see VM8055)
that replace the hygiene requirement on food packaging materials stated
in MOH's Decision No.867/1998/QD-BYT dated April 4, 1998 (see VM9019).
Restrictions area imposed on the following groups of packaging
materials:

-   Ceramics and Glass

-   Synthetic Plastic

-   Tin Foil

# SECTION IV: FOOD ADDITIVE REGULATIONS

On August 31, 2001 the Ministry of Health issued Decree
No.3742/2001/QD-BTY on the List of Food Additives allowed to be used in
Food. The Decree provides the list of permitted food additives in
different ways. Firstly, the food additives are grouped into 21 groups
based on their functions. They are:

\- Acidity regulator

-   Thickeners

-   Moisturizing agents

-   Firming agents

-   Polishing agents

-   Coloring agents

-   Sequestrants

-   Foaming agents

-   Powder treatment agents

Secondly, the approved food additives are listed by using the
International Numbering System (INS) (see the below list). Third, the
food additives are listed in alphabetical order. Maximum level (ML) of
the approved food additives allowed to be used in each kind of food are
also presented in the decree. Please contact post for more detail as it
is available in Vietnamese only.

The list of food additives allowed to use in food presented in Decree
No. No.3742/2001/QD-BTY replaces the list of food additives allowed to
use in food stated in the Ministry of Health Decree No. 867/1998/QD-BYT
dated April 4, 1998 (please see VM9019)

The Ministry of Health defines food additives as substances which are
not considered food or the main ingredients of food, and which have
little nutritional value, and are added in food in limited amounts, and
are harmless. Food additives are used in order to maintain the quality,
shape, odor, alkalinity or acidity of food, or, to meet the
technological requirements for the production, processing, packaging,
transportation and preservation of food. Such contaminants as poisonous
micro-fungus, heavy metals, herbal preserving agents, animal medicines,
etc., are not considered food additives.

To use approved food additives in production, processing, treatment,
preservation, packing and transportation of food must be in compliance
with the "Regulations on Food Safety" stated in the Ministry of Health
Decree No.4196/1999/QD-BYT dated December 1999.

Only food additives on the list can be produced, traded and imported to
Vietnam and it also must be certified to meet food safety requirement by
an "authorized agency".

Additives in food must:

-   Not contain more than the permitted maximum level

-   Meet technical, hygiene requirements set for each food additive

-   Not change the physical, chemical and nutritional content and
    commercial value of the food

-   Be labelled in accordance with the current regulation. For special
    food additives, there must also be guidance for use.

Annually the Vietnam Food Administration (VFA) reviews status of food
additives use based on benefit or harm to human health.

# SECTION V: PESTICIDE AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS

On December 19, 2007 Vietnam Ministry of Health issued Decision No.
46/2007/QD-BYT on the "Maximum Level of Residue of Biological and

Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for the following:

-   of veterinary dugs in food

-   of heavy metal in food

-   of pesticides in food

-   of mycotxin in food

-   of micro-organisms in food

-   of pesticides in food

-   safety hygiene requirements on food packaging materials and

**Pesticide Registration**

In Vietnam, pesticides must be registered. Plant Protection Department
(PPD) of the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development is the
government body assigned to manage pesticides registration.

Before a pesticide can be traded or used, it must be registered at the
PPD. The registration consists of different steps. Firstly, the importer
or trader has to get a permission for it's testing in the field. The
document dossier for the field-testing includes:

-   Application form for field testing (form provided by the PPD)

-   Notarized copy of right to use the product or authorized letter for
    using the product or similar document

-   Technical document in Vietnamese or English copied from original
    document and certified by authorized agency.

-   A sample of the product's label.

It takes about 5 working days for the PPD to review the application. Fee
charged for a permit for field testing of a new pesticide ranges from
VND 2 million to VN 2.8 million (\$125-\$170).

After having permission for field testing, the register must work with a
local agency to carry-out the test. It usually takes about 2 years for
this kind of work. The cost for the field- testing depends case by case,
but it is estimated around VND 100 million (\$6,200).

Based on results of the field testing, PPD will/ grant the registering
permission for use of the pesticide in Vietnam. The fee for issuing a
registering permission is about VND 7.3 million (\$453). The
registration is valid for 5 years. The registration can be extended at
the cost of VND 2 million (\$125).

# SECTION VI: OTHER REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

(Product Registration, Testing, Certification, Special Documentation or
Conformity Assessment Requirements)

**Ref.:**

**Government Circular No.79/2008/ND-CP dated July 18, 2008 regulating
the Government system of management, monitoring and testing on food
safety and hygiene.**

This latest government circular on food safety and hygiene describes
specific functions of government agencies directly involved in
controlling, monitoring and testing food safety and hygiene.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) is responsible for the safety and hygiene
of processed foods.

Ministry of Agricultural an Rural Development (MARD) is responsible for
the safety and hygiene of agricultural, forest and fishery/marine
products including imported animals, animal products, plants, plants
products as well as ingredients and additives used production and
processing in the agricultural and fishery sectors.

The Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) is responsible for setting
national standards (Vietnamese standards -TCVN) on food safety and
hygiene. MOST also provides technical standard regulations to other
agencies to enable them to establish specific sector standards on
specific products. MOST is also appointed to be one of the state testing
agencies on food safety and hygiene.

NOTE:

1.  Regulations can be sometimes published and amended without notifying
    the industry or international bodies. Therefore exporters must work
    closely with importers to ensure that all requirements are met
    before shipping.

    height="2.9861111111111113e-2in"}

2.  The Food Regulations are too comprehensive to provide meaningful
    summarization in this report. It is advised that the exporter
    consult the relevant sections of the Food Regulations for
    information about his own specific food product or products. As the
    Food Regulations are regularly reviewed and updated, it is
    recommended that interested parties contact the Vietnam Controlled
    Authorities and Post for further clarification (see contact address
    listed at the back pages of this report).

All food products imported into Vietnam should meet the following
additional requirements:

Technical Center Number 3 (MOST)

In Central region, for Danang, MOH has just appointed Danang Preserved
Health Center to be the 3^rd^ SCA (Decision 19/2007/QDBYT of MOH dated
8/3/2007).

In Southern Region, for Ho Chi Minh City, MOH has just appointed
Vinacontrol as the third SCA for imported foods (Decision 22/2007/QDBYT
of MOH dated 20/3/2007).

According to the Decision 23/2007/BYT of MOH, with a view to ensuring
conformity to import quality standards, imported foods must be
quality-tested by STAs. Testing criteria include product appearance and
label, analysis of major chemicals, physicals and micro-biological,
nutrition value, food additives. Without a Certificate from STAs
certifying that imported foods are met with Vietnam quality and safety
requirements, the foods can not be circulated in Vietnam.

Necessary documents to submit to STA include:

> \- RC
>
> \- Trade contract or L/C
>
> \- Bill of lading
>
> \- Invoice
>
> \- Packing list

-   Certificate of Origin

-   Result of Tests, CA (if any)

There are four application levels of quality testing:

-   Strict testing: applied on high-risk foods and on foods that have
    got historical testing records of quality inconformity.

-   Normal testing:

-   Reduced testing: applied on foods from the same source having RC;
    GMP/HACCP certificate, and historical testing record of two-time
    approvals.

-   Testing Exemption: applied on foods from the same source having
    historical testing records of 5-time approvals

> For reduced and exempted testing, importers/traders must acquire
> acceptance letters from MOH.

In some specific situations, certificates of quality inspection by other
countries or international agencies can be recognised as long as those
organisations (countries and international agencies) are long-standing
partners of Vietnam, within a economic-cooperating region which includes
Vietnam or also signed an international Convention. Post will update the
regulation on a separate report.

**2.2 For imports of animals and animal products; plants and plant
products and fishery products:**

Quaratine import permits (QIP) issued by competen quarantine agencies
under MARD are requested for imports of animals and animal products;
plants and plant products; and fishery products. After obtaining the
QIP, the imported products must be inspected for quarantine and hygiene
standards by competent quarantine agencies. Quarantine Certificates (QC)
are requested for Customs clearance.

For meat products, Department of Animal Health is the State Controlled
Agency (SCA) to issue the QIP and QC.

For plants and plant products including vegetable and fruits, Plant
Protection Department is the SCA to issue the QIP and QC.

For fishery products, the National Fishery Quality and Veterinary
Directorate (NAFICAVED) under MARD is the SCA to issue the QIP and QC.

At the wholesale/retail distributionlevels, there are many City and
Provincial Government agencies involving in monitoring quality and
safety of food products including Sub-department of Animal Health;
Department of Health / Health Centers of City/Provincial levels, market
control forces under Department of Trade of City/Provincial.

## 3. Import Control Under the Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ)

According to the Ministry of Trade and Industry's Decision No.
014/2007/QD-BCT dated December 28, 2007, Vietnam currently has set
tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) for tobacco, eggs, salt and sugar imports. No
TRQ in Vietnam is a significant trade policy issue.

The above mentioned documents are the latest regulations in place
regulating shipments of product samples via express mail and parcel
post. According to these, all the products shipped via express mail or
parcel post are subject to relevant import regulations. Product samples
and free samples must follow the same regulations as commercially
imported items. Those products must not belong to the annual "List of
goods forbidden from import/exportation" of Vietnam, the "List of goods
forbidden from importation" of the receiver's country as well as all
international conventions on sending prohibition that Vietnam has
signed.

Also within Point 2/Part I of the Circular, product sample importers are
forced to carry out the following procedures:

> \- Customs procedures; test and supervision from customs offices;

**5. Specific import documentations and certificate requirements:**

**[5.a Imports of alcoholic beverages:]{.underline}**

Ref. Government Degree No.40/2008/ND-CP dated April 07, 2008 on
alcoholic beverage production and trading.

According to the degree, alcoholic beverage belongs to the group of
goods subject to restricted trading under the state's regulation.
Organizations and individuals engage in alcoholic beverage trading must
have relevant permits.

Only business companies obtaining permits on either alcoholic drink
production or alcoholic drink wholesale are eligible to import alcoholic
drinks into Vietnam.

The Ministry of Trade and Industry is responsible for granting the
permits

Conditions for a company to be granted a whosale permit on alcoholic
drinks by the Ministry of Trade and Industry:

-   The company must have a business registration license on alcoholic
    drinks.

-   The company must have its own distrubtion network, proper storage
    and facility.

Imports of alcoholic drinks are subject to relevant imports regulations
including RC; labeling and food safety and hygiene requirements.

Imported alcoholic drinks must be stick with specific import stamps on

# SECTION VII: OTHER SPECIFIC STANDARDS 

Note:

The Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) has overall responsibility
for the quality and standards of goods including foods. However, the MOH
is fully responsible for the safety and hygiene of foods, in other
words, Vietnamese standards for food safety and hygiene are set by MOH.
This system in some cases has created overlapping and confused
regulations on foods.

Testing norms of import food products are based on the Vietnamese
standard system (TCVN - set by Ministry of Science and Technology) and
hygiene and safety standards set by Ministry of Health. These standards
are possible risks to trade due to its complexity and its non-scientific
status . However, up to now, food products that have beared
non-scientific standards still can enter Vietnam's market easily. The
Vietnamese standard of zero tolerance of salmonella on chicken meat is
an example.

i\) Weights and Measures

On July 08, 2008, the MOST has issued the Decision No. 07/2008/QD-BKHCN
listing packaged goods subject to state control on weights and measures.
The list includes agricultural commodities and agricultural products;
fishery and marine products; sauces and seasonsings; milk and dairy
products; mineral water; beverages and alcoholic beverages; edible oils;
confectionary; sugar and feeds.

The metric system is regarded the main measurement in Vietnamese
practice.

> ii\) Vitamin-Enrichment requirements

Ref: Decision No.6289/2003/QD-BTY by Ministery of Health on "supplement
of micro nutritional elements to food/food products" dated December 9,
2003

According to the regulation, micro nutritional elements supplemented to
food/food products must be inspected by authorized agencies for quality
and safety. It must not change colour, smell, physical condition and
processing characteristics of food. It must also not change self- life
of the food. Label of supplemented food/food products supplemented must
contain a sentence indicating that it contains micro nutritional
elements

Vitamin-enrichment requirements vary from each kind of food products. In
general, vitamin proportion are defined so as to assure the nutrition of
each food products.

The Recommended Nutrient Intakes RNI 2002 has detailed recommended
intake levels of varous kinds of vitamines /day by age groups. Some
highlighted points are as follows:

Vitamine C (mg/day): 25, 45, 55 for children below one year-old, adults
and pregnant women, respectively.

Vitamine B6 (mg/day): 0.1, 1.3-1.7, 1.9 for children below one year-old,
adults and pregnant women, respectively.

**iv) Novel Foods (Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs))**

Vietnam does not ban imports of GM foods. Vietnam is working on several
regulations to manage GMOs and GM products including Regulation on
