Iron and steel are materials used a lot in life, especially in construction. Steel is imported from many different countries around the world such as China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia. Steel is imported in many forms such as: rolls, bars, tubes, and plates.However, when carrying out procedures to import steel, it is divided into two types:
- New steel import procedures
- Procedures for importing used steel
Next, Anlita would like to share about procedures for importing steel of all types, HS codes of steel plates, square steel, round steel, rolled steel, I, H, V, L steel, import tax, VAT and policies Import all kinds of steel.
1. Steel import policy
1.1. Legal basis Steel is a commodity imported a lot into Vietnam, mainly for construction purposes. Procedures for importing steel of all types are specified in the following legal documents:
- Circular 58/2015/TTLT-BCT-BKHCN dated December 31, 2015

2. Label imported goods
Labeling imported goods is not a new regulation. However, since Decree 128/2020/ND-CP was issued, the labeling of imported goods has been more closely monitored. Labeling goods is intended to help administrative agencies manage goods, determine the origin and unit responsible for the goods. Therefore, labeling goods is one of the indispensable steps when carrying out procedures to import steel from different countries.
2.1. Label content
In addition to labeling, label content is also very important. Label content of goods is regulated in Decree No. 43/2017/ND-CP. For shelf products, the content of a full label includes the following information:
- Information of the exporter (address, company name);
- Information of the importer (address, company name);
- Product name and product information;
- Origin of goods.
Those are the basic label contents that need to be affixed to the goods. Information presented must be in English or other languages must be translated. When carrying out steel import procedures, if you encounter a red channel, customs inspection will pay close attention to the label content above.
2.2. Label position on goods
Sticking labels on goods is necessary, but sticking them in the right position is more important. When importing, product labels need to be affixed to the surfaces of the package such as: On cartons, on wooden packages, on product packaging. Or anywhere as long as it’s convenient to check and easy to see. Labeling in the right location will help save inspection time when carrying out procedures to import steel of all kinds.
For retail goods on the market, more information needs to be shown. Such as the manufacturer, quantity of goods, technical specifications, date of manufacture, safety warnings.
2.3. Risks encountered when not labeling
Labeling goods is illegal according to the law. If the goods were not labeled when imported or the content of the label is incorrect. Importers must face the following risks:
- Being fined according to regulations, the penalty level is specified in Article 22 of Decree 128/2020/ND-CP;
- Not entitled to special preferential import tax because the certificate of origin will be rejected;
- Goods are easily lost or damaged because there are no warning labels for loading, unloading and transportation.
With the above risks, we recommend that you put labels on the goods when carrying out iron and steel import procedures. If you do not fully understand the regulations on product labels. Please contact hotline or hotmail for advice.
3. Determine the HS code of imported iron and steel
Looking up HS codes is the most important task before carrying out iron and steel import procedures. To be able to accurately determine the HS code, it is necessary to understand the properties, components, functions, and materials used to produce the product.
3.1. HS code of steel types
HS code (Harmonized System) is a series of codes used for all goods worldwide. Between different countries in the world, only the ending numbers differ. Therefore, the first 6 numbers of the HS code worldwide for an item are the same. The HS code of iron and steel is divided into two chapters in the import and export tariff as follows:
Chapter 72: Iron and Steel;
Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel.
To accurately determine the HS code, it is necessary to learn about the product’s characteristics and its description in the import-export tariff. For iron and steel products, you need to pay attention when looking up the HS code to determine the size, type of stainless steel or regular steel, cold rolled or hot rolled, alloy or non-alloy. There are many factors that can cause you to misidentify the HS codes of steel and steel products.
3.2. Risks when applying the wrong HS code
Determining the correct HS code is very important when carrying out import procedures for steel and steel products. Misidentifying the HS code will bring certain risks to you such as:
- Delaying customs procedures: Declaring the wrong HS code can lead to delays in customs procedures, because it takes time to check and verify accurate information about the type of goods.
- Delayed delivery: If the goods are found to have an incorrect HS code declared, the customs authority may request correction or clarification of the information. This can lead to delays in delivery and affect the production and business cycle of the business.
- Penalties for declaring incorrect HS codes according to Decree 128/2020/ND-CP;
- In case of import tax, you will face a penalty of at least 2,000,000 VND and a maximum penalty of 3 times the tax amount.
To accurately determine the HS code for each specific type of iron and steel. Please contact hotline or hotmail for advice.
4. Import tax on steel of all kinds
Import tax is an obligation that the importer must refund completed when importing goods to Vietnam. There are two main types of import tax on steel products: import tax and import VAT. In addition, some HS codes also have anti-dumping taxes and self-defense taxes.
How to calculate tax when carrying out procedures to import steel of all types as follows:
- Self-defense tax on steel products Self-defense tax = CIF value x % of self-defense tax rate
- Anti-dumping tax Anti-dumping tax = CIF value x % anti-dumping tax rate
- Import tax Import tax = CIF value x % import tax rate
- Import VAT is determined according to the formula:
- Value added tax = (CIF value + Import tax + Safeguard tax + Anti-dumping tax) x % VAT rate.
According to the above formula, it can be seen that the import tax on steel of all types depends on the tax rate according to the HS code. To get the lowest and most accurate tax rate, you must determine the correct HS codes of steel types. Besides, it also depends on whether the shipment has a certificate of origin or not, to enjoy special preferential tax rates.
Anti-dumping tax and safeguard tax depend on each specific type of steel. Regulated according to different steel hs codes. Safeguard tax is adjusted according to Circular 918/QD-BCT, anti-dumping tax is adjusted according to Circular 3162/QD-BCT.
5. Documents for steel import procedures
The dossier set for importing steel of all types includes the following documents:
- Customs declaration
- Commercial contract (Sale contract) Packing list (Packing list)
- Commercial invoice
- Bill of lading
- Certificate of origin (if any)
- Check the quality of imported goods
- Catalog (if any), and other documents if required by customs.
Above are all documents used to carry out customs clearance procedures for shaped steel, wire steel, and other type steel. The most important are customs declarations, commercial invoices, bills of lading, and certificates of origin. Other documents will be added if requested by the Customs authorities.
If you do not understand the above documents, please contact our hotline or hotmail for advice.
6. Imported steel quality inspection process
Most imported steel materials must be inspected for quality.

- Good practice certificates of all facilities participating in the production of imported drugs in case the drugs are produced by many different enterprises (original or notarized photocopy).
- License to carry out radiation work of the importing facility in case of importing radioactive drugs (certified copy or copy of the facility’s stamp).
Step 2: Register the pharmaceutical circulation number
As soon as the import documents are completed and submitted in accordance with legal regulations, the unit should begin the process of registering the circulation number for pharmaceuticals in Vietnam. On the other hand, registration procedures and documents are listed in Clause 2, Article 56 of Pharmacy Law 6. The detailed summary is as follows:
Administrative records:
- Application for registration of circulation certificate and raw materials for drug processing.
- Authenticated copy of a valid representative office establishment license for a drug business establishment or a valid Certificate of eligibility for pharmaceutical business.
- Original or certified copy of valid Pharmaceutical Product Certificate for imported drugs.
- Sample labels, raw materials, drug information and other documents related to business, circulation and raw materials.
- Technical documents proving that drugs and medicinal ingredients must meet all requirements in Clause 4, Article 54 of the 2016 Pharmacy Law.
- New drugs, reference biological products, vaccines, etc. have indications for diseases on the list issued by the Minister of Health, so businesses must possess an additional set of clinical records proving safety and effectiveness.
- Similar biological products must have additional records demonstrating quality compared to a reference biological product.
- In addition, drugs requiring bioequivalence testing must have an additional report on bioequivalence study data of the drug.
Step 3: Make dossiers for importing pharmaceuticals

Procedure for importing generator
Procedures for importing generators, HS codes of generator sets running on diesel engines, generators running on gasoline engines, natural gas generators, water generators, single-phase generators, 3-phase generators phase, DC generator, AC generator, import policy, VAT, import tax on generators. These are the main contents that Anlita wants to share with you in these articles.A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Usually uses the principle of electromagnetic induction. Generators are imported from many different countries around the world such as Europe, Japan, America, Korea, China, Thailand. However, when carrying out import procedures for different types of generators, they are relatively similar.
Next, Anlita will share procedures for importing generators, HS codes for diesel generators, gasoline generators, water generators, AC generators, DC generators, generators 1 phase, 3 phase, import policy, import tax and VAT on generators of all types.
1. Generator import policy
Procedures for importing generators of all types are specified in the following legal documents:
Circular 38/2015/TT-BTC dated March 25, 2015; Amended and supplemented 39/2018/TT-BTC dated April 20, 2018.Decree 69/2018/ND-CP dated May 15, 2018;

- Decree 128/2020/ND-CP dated October 19, 2020.
According to the above legal documents, generators do not belong to the list of goods banned from import. Procedures for importing generators will be carried out like other normal goods. When importing generators, it is necessary to note the following points:
- Used generators are less than 10 years old;
- When importing generators, goods must be labeled according to 43/2017/ND-CP;
- Determine the correct HS code to determine the correct tax and avoid penalties.
Above are all legal regulations related to procedures for importing generators. If you do not fully understand the above processes, please contact the hotline or hotmail for advice.
2. Label imported generators
Labeling imported goods is not a new regulation. However, since Decree 128/2020/ND-CP was issued, the labeling of imported goods has been more closely monitored. Labeling goods is intended to help administrative agencies manage goods, determine the origin and unit responsible for the goods. Therefore, labeling goods is one of the indispensable steps when carrying out procedures to import generators from different countries. Label contentIn addition to labeling, label content is also very important. Label content of goods is regulated in Decree No. 43/2017/ND-CP. For generator products, the content of a full label includes the following information:
- Information of the exporter (address, company name);
- Information of the importer (address, company name);
- Product name and product information;
- Origin of goods.
Those are the basic label contents that need to be affixed to the goods. Information presented must be in English or other languages must be translated. When carrying out import procedures for generators, if you encounter a red channel, customs inspection will pay close attention to the label content above. Label position on goods, Sticking labels on goods is necessary, but sticking them in the right location is more important. When importing, product labels need to be affixed to the surfaces of the package such as: On cartons, on wooden packages, on product packaging. Or anywhere as long as it’s convenient to check and easy to see. Labeling in the correct location will help save inspection time when carrying out import procedures for generators of all types.
For retail goods on the market, more information needs to be shown. Such as the manufacturer, quantity of goods, technical specifications, date of manufacture, safety warnings. Risks encountered when not labelingLabeling goods is illegal according to the law.
If the goods were not labeled when imported or the content of the label is incorrect. Importers must face the following risks:
- Being fined according to regulations, the penalty level is specified in Article 22 of Decree 128/2020/ND-CP;
- Not entitled to special preferential import tax because the certificate of origin will be rejected;
- Goods are easily lost or damaged because there are no warning labels for loading, unloading and transportation.
With the above risks, we recommend that you put labels on the goods when carrying out procedures to import generators. If you do not fully understand the regulations on product labels. Please contact hotline or hotmail for advice.
3. HS codes of generators of all types
To determine the HS code, it must be based on material, structure, size, and function. For generators, it is only necessary to determine the operating principles and uses can identify the generator HS code.

According to the HS code table above, the import tax on generators and VAT on generators is 10%. In addition to the above preferential tax rates, there are many other special preferential tax rates.
If you have not determined the HS code of the generator you are importing. Please contact our hotline or hotmail for advice.
4. Import tax on generators
Import tax is an obligation that importers must fulfill when importing goods to Vietnam. There are two types of import tax for generators: Value added tax and import tax. To calculate import tax, please refer to the calculations below.
Tax calculation when carrying out import procedures for generators of all types is as follows:
- Import tax is determined according to HS code. Import tax is calculated according to the formula:
Import tax = CIF value x % tax rate
- Import VAT is determined according to the formula:
Value added tax = (CIF value + Import tax) x % VAT rate.
According to the above formula, it can be seen that the import tax on generators of all types depends on the tax rate according to the HS code. To get the lowest and most accurate tax rate, you must determine the correct HS code for generators of all types. Besides, it also depends on whether the shipment has a certificate of origin or not, to enjoy special preferential tax rates.
For goods imported from countries such as Europe, India, Australia, Chile, China, Korea, Japan, Asean countries. Importers should ask sellers to provide them with a certificate of origin to enjoy the lowest import tax rate for generators of all types.

3. Fertilizer import tax
Import tax is an obligation that importers must fulfill towards the state. There are two types of import tax: VAT and import tax. To determine these tax rates, you can refer to the following tax calculation:Import tax is determined according to HS code.
- Import tax is calculated according to the formula:
Import tax = CIF value x % import tax rate
- Import VAT is determined according to the formula:
Value added tax = (CIF value + Import tax) x VAT rate.
CIF value is determined by the ex-factory value of the goods plus all costs to bring the goods to the first border gate of the importing country. For fertilizer products, the VAT is 0, so at this time there is only import tax. Regulated in 26/2015/TT-BTC dated February 27, 2015. Special preferential tax rates apply to goods imported from countries and territories with which Vietnam has signed trade agreements such as: China, Japan, Korea, Asian countries, India, Australia, Europe, Chile. To apply for special preferential import tax rates, a certificate of origin is required. Therefore, when importing goods from the above countries, buyers should ask the seller to provide a certificate of origin.

2. Label imported goods
Labeling imported goods is not a new regulation. However, since Decree 128/2020/ND-CP was issued, the labeling of imported goods has been more closely monitored. Labeling goods is intended to help administrative agencies manage goods, determine the origin and unit responsible for the goods. Therefore, labeling goods is one of the indispensable steps when carrying out cosmetic import procedures.
2.1. Label content
In addition to labeling, label content is also very important. Label content of goods is regulated in Decree No. 43/2017/ND-CP.
For cosmetic products, the content of a full label includes the following information:
- Information of the exporter (address, company name);
- Information of the importer (address, company name);
- Quantitative;
- Ingredients or ingredient quantities;
- Production batch number;
- Date of manufacture or expiry date/expiry date;
- For products with a stability of less than 30 months, the expiration date is required;
- Instructions for use unless the presentation clearly shows how to use the product;
- Information and warnings.
- Origin of goods.
Those are the basic label contents that need to be affixed to the goods. Information presented must be in English or other languages must be translated. When carrying out cosmetic import procedures, if you encounter a red channel, customs inspection will pay close attention to the label content above.
2.2. Label position on goods
Sticking labels on goods is necessary, but sticking them in the right position is more important. When importing, product labels need to be affixed to the surfaces of the package such as: On cartons, on wooden packages, on product packaging. Or anywhere as long as it’s convenient to check and easy to see. Labeling in the correct location will help save time on inspection when carrying out procedures to import cosmetics of all kinds.
For retail goods on the market, more information needs to be shown. Such as the manufacturer, quantity of goods, technical specifications, date of manufacture, safety warnings.
2.3. Risks encountered when not labeling
Labeling goods is illegal according to the law. If the goods were not labeled when imported or the content of the label is incorrect. Importers must face the following risks:
Being fined according to regulations, the penalty level is specified in Article 22 of Decree 128/2020/ND-CP;
Not entitled to special preferential import tax because the certificate of origin will be rejected;
Goods are easily lost or damaged because there are no warning labels for loading, unloading and transportation. With the above risks, we recommend that you put labels on the goods when carrying out cosmetic import procedures. If you do not fully understand the regulations on product labels.
