Pain Points

Trade Pain Points and Possibilities

Importing dual-use tech goods into Vietnam comes with certain complexities. First, you’ll need a registered entity to serve as the Importer of Record (IOR), ensuring compliance with Vietnamese regulations. There are specific restrictions pertaining to wireless and encrypted goods, and the extensive import documentation required, such as Certificates of Conformity (CoC), can be time-consuming. TecEx’s proficiency in import documentation simplifies the process, regardless of the tech equipment type.

Accurate cost calculations during imports into Vietnam present a significant challenge, as customs frequently conduct re-valuations of goods, leading to potential adjustments in taxes and duties that can significantly impact project costs.
