DHD Logistics transports pharmaceutical and cosmetic raw materials from China to Vietnam.

Raw materials for cosmetic production are imported into Vietnam from many different markets, including China. Importing these materials requires importers to have knowledge of foreign trade and understanding of customs regulations. In this article, DHD Logistics would like to share information on the procedures for importing and transporting raw materials for cosmetic production.

1. Regulations on the import of raw materials for cosmetic production.

When importing any type of goods, you must first understand the import policy for that item. The legal basis for importing raw materials for cosmetic production is as follows:

• Circular 06/2011/TT-BYT dated January 25, 2011, of the Ministry of Health regulates the management of cosmetics.
• Circular No. 39/2018/TT-BTC of the Ministry of Finance: Amending and supplementing a number of articles in Circular No. 38/2015/TT-BTC dated March 25, 2015 of the Minister of Finance regulating customs procedures; customs inspection and supervision; export tax, import tax and tax management for exported and imported goods.
• Government Decree No. 69/2018/ND-CP: Detailing certain provisions of the Law on Foreign Trade Management.
• Government Decree No. 43/2017/ND-CP: On product labeling.

According to legal regulations, raw materials used in the production of cosmetics are not on the list of prohibited imports. However, the following points should be noted during the import process:

Cosmetic ingredients are diverse in composition and require compliance with specific import policies for each type of chemical and product.
No cosmetic declaration is required when importing raw materials.
Regulations on product labeling must be complied with according to Decree 43/2017/ND-CP.
Identifying the correct HS code is crucial for applying the correct tax and avoiding penalties.
The above are the regulations regarding the import of raw materials for cosmetic production. If you require further information, please contact DHD Logistics via hotline or email for assistance.

2. Calculating import tax on raw materials for cosmetic production.

Import tax is a responsibility that importers must fulfill when importing raw materials for cosmetic production. This is a mandatory fee, and goods are only cleared through customs after the tax obligation has been fulfilled.

Import duties are divided into two types: value-added tax (VAT) and import tax. Import tax depends on the HS code of the selected goods. The method for calculating import tax for cosmetic raw materials is as follows:

Import tax is calculated using the following formula:
Import tax = CIF value x % tax rate
Import VAT is calculated using the following formula:
Value Added Tax = (CIF Value + Import Tax) x VAT Rate %
The above formula shows that the import tax on raw materials for cosmetic production depends on the applicable tax rate. The tax rate also depends on whether the order has a certificate of origin. If a certificate of origin is available (%), a special preferential tax rate may be applied.

3. Documentation for importing raw materials for cosmetic production.

The dossier for carrying out the import procedure for cosmetic raw materials includes the following documents, as stipulated in Circular 38/2015/TT-BTC dated March 25, 2015, and amended and supplemented by Circular 39/2018/TT-BTC dated April 20, 2018:

1. Customs declaration
2. Sales contract
3. Commercial invoice
4. Packing list
5. Bill of lading
6. Certificate of Origin (℅) if available
7. Catalog (if available), and other documents if required by Customs authorities.

Among these documents, the customs declaration, commercial invoice, and bill of lading are considered the most important. Other documents may be added as specifically required by the Customs authority.

Preparing the necessary documentation before importing raw materials for cosmetic production is crucial. In particular, ensuring that original documents such as bills of lading and certificates of origin are obtained from the courier supplier beforehand will help avoid delays in the import process and reduce the risk of container and yard demurrage.
