Quarantine is exempted for imported tanned skin products under the HS Codes: 4104; 4105; 4106; 4107;
4112.00.00; 4113; and 4115, despite their initial listing in Decision 4758. As a result of a request from
the Vietnam hide and skin industry, on December 3, 2015, the Department of Animal Health (DAH)
issued Official Letter 2403/KD-TY requesting Vietnam Customs to instruct Customs Offices at entry
ports to not ask importers to register for import quarantine for products under the above mentioned HS
codes. As indicated in Letter 2403, DAH requested DAH’s Regional Offices to only conduct quarantine
procedure for exported tanned skin products if there is requirement from importing countries.
Responding to DAH’s Letter 2403, on December 9, 2015, Vietnam Customs sent Letter 1569/GSQL-
GQ1 to instruct provincial and city Customs Offices to not require quarantine procedures to be applied
for imported tanned leather products outlined in DAH’s Letter 2403.
Vietnam Custom’s Letter 1569/GSQL-GQ1 and DAH’s Letter 2403/TY-KD in Vietnamese are
available at Dong Nai Custom’s website: http://dncustoms.gov.vn/van-ban/thuc-hien-cong-van-so-2403-

Consolidated Legal Document 12/VBHN-BNNPTNT implementing the Veterinary Ordinance
Page 4

The quarantine process for terrestrial animals and animal products for export and import to Vietnam is
currently regulated in the Consolidated Legal Document 12/VBHN-BNNPTNT which was developed by
merging different legislative documents regulating the implementation of the Veterinary Ordinance.
The Document 12/VBHN-BNNPTNT in Vietnamese is available on MARD’s website:
http://law.omard.gov.vn/Default.aspx?TabId=40.
Article 30 of the Document 12/VNHN-BNNPTNT regulates the registration for quarantine of terrestrial
animals / animal products. Accordingly, the owners of shipments of terrestrial animals/animals products
on the List of animals/animals products subject to quarantine for export, import, temporary import for
re-export, temporary export for re-import, gate transferring, transited in Vietnamese territory must
submit an application for quarantine to the competent Animal Health Agency. Within five (5) working
days from the date of receiving a valid application, the Competent Animal Health Agency will notify
and provide the owner of animal shipment with guidance on the requirements for animal quarantine and
assign a relevant animal health agency to coordinate the quarantine (note: the notification issued by
Competent Animal Health Agency to the shipment owner is similar to an import permit). After getting
the Notification, the owners of animal shipment has the responsibility to make a declaration to the
Competent Animal Agency before the arrival of the shipment as follows: a) for imported shipment: at
least eight (8) days before the shipment arrival to the entry port and two (2) days before the shipment
arrival by postal mail; b) for a shipment temporarily imported for re-export; temporarily exported for re-
import; or transited in Vietnam territory, the declaration should be made at least four (4) days before the
shipment arrival.
The quarantine inspection of imported terrestrial animals and animal products is regulated in Article 35
of Document 12/VBHN-BNNPTNT. In the case of animals or animal products imported via sea or air,
the quarantine shall be conducted at Float 0 or parking areas of the airport. If the dossier for quarantine
is valid and the animals / animal products do not show signs of carrying disease pathogen, the quarantine
officer shall verify and allow the shipment owner to do customs clearance or transport animals to
quarantine areas. If the quarantine dossier is not valid, the animal health inspection agency shall notify
the competent agency of exporting country for them to inspect, revise, or complete the dossier for
quarantine. In case, the imported animals / animal products are infected with animal diseases they must
be compulsorily slaughtered, destroyed, or re-exported directly to the exporting country. Depending on
the animal species and animal diseases, the quarantine period should not exceed 45 days for live animals
and the time to isolate animal products for quarantine should not be more than 10 days. After the
isolation period for quarantine, imported animals / animal products meeting veterinary hygiene
requirements shall be issued a Certification of Quarantine and can complete customs clearance.
The application for import quarantine is guided in detail by DAH’s Guidance 615/TY-KD dated April
20, 2009. Accordingly, the application dossier for imports of terrestrial animal includes: 1) a
Registration Form as regulated), 2) Business license (or notarized copy), 3) other related documentation
as regulated. The application dossier applying for imports of animal products for human consumption
(such as meat, egg, milk, products derived from meat, eggs and milk includes: 1) a Registration Form as
regulated, 2) Business license (or notarized copy), 3) a HACCP Certificate for food processors with
Page 5

clear signature of the company’s leader and the signing date (note: for milk products imported from the
United States, DAH accepts the Sanitary Certificate issued by USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service
(AMS), instead of a HACCP Certificate), and 4) other related documents. The dossier registering the
import of other animal products includes: 1) a Registration Form as regulated, 2) Business license (or
notarized copy), and 3) other related documents. DAH’s Guidance 615/TY-KD in Vietnamese is
available at DAH’s website:
http://www.cucthuy.gov.vn/Lists/DAH_News/Attachments/246/So%20615%20Sua%20CV%20547%20
kiemdich%20qua%20email.20.4.09.pdf.
The most updated Vietnamese regulation on quarantine of animals and animal products is the Vietnam
Veterinary Law (VM5068) that will enter into force July 1, 2016. The requirements for quarantine of
imported terrestrial animals and animal products are specified in Article 44 of the Law. The application
registering for quarantine of animals/animal products, the quarantine (inspection) procedure, and the
contents of the quarantine of terrestrial animals and animal products are detailed in Article 45, 46, and
47, respectively.
To implement the new Veterinary Law, MARD is drafting a Circular on the quarantine of terrestrial
animals / animal products and inspection of veterinary hygiene that was notified to the WTO SPS
Committee as SPS/VNM/68 on April 24, 2015. The final Circular has not been published.
