Latest procedures for importing fertilizers

Vietnam is an agricultural country, and the demand for imported fertilizers is very high. Businesses want to import fertilizers to supply the market but are unclear about the import policies for this product. What are the HS code and import tax on fertilizers? Are any permits or specialized inspections required?

Therefore, today TTHQSaiGon will share with you the fertilizer import process based on experience from actual shipments we have handled.

Besides the import procedures for animal feed, the import procedures for fertilizers are among the most difficult customs procedures for certain goods.

Regarding fertilizer import policy:

Please refer to the following decrees:

- Decree 84/2019/ND-CP

- Decree No. 202/2013/ND-CP

After reading the above policies, you can see that fertilizers intended for import into Vietnam need a registration number, and once they have that number, they must undergo quality checks upon import. It's quite complicated, isn't it?

I've summarized the fertilizer import process in the steps below for your easy understanding.

1. Step 1: Identify the type of fertilizer that the company plans to import.
2. B2: Check if the fertilizer trucks that the company intends to import are already on the approved list.
3. B3: If not, you must apply for a permit to import sample fertilizers for testing.
4. B4: Once the test results are available, prepare the application for a marketing authorization for the fertilizer that the company imports.
5. B5: Once the circulation permit is obtained, proceed with importing into Vietnam.
6. B6: Goods arrive, undergo customs procedures and quality inspection for fertilizers.
7. B7: Once results are obtained, add the HQ information and clear the shipment.

The process may seem simple, but it's actually quite difficult if you're learning as you go.
