Detailed Procedures for Passion Fruit Exportation

Legal Regulations

Passion fruit is not on the list of prohibited export goods, meaning individuals and businesses can freely export it. However, exporters must register for phytosanitary inspection before shipment. For passion fruit seedlings, an additional export permit for plant varieties is required.

 

HS Code

According to the 2022 Import-Export Tariff Schedule, the HS Code for passion fruit is 08109094, classified under Chapter 08 (Fresh Fruit) and Group 0810.

 

Required Customs Documents

As stipulated in Circular No. 39/2018/TT-BTC, the customs dossier for passion fruit export includes:

  • Commercial invoice
  • Sales contract
  • Customs declaration form
  • Bill of lading
  • Packing list
  • Phytosanitary certificate
  • Other relevant documents (if applicable)

 

Phytosanitary Inspection Process

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will conduct sampling inspections, with at least 2% of each export shipment being examined. A minimum of 30 fruits, along with any showing abnormal signs, will be thoroughly inspected. If harmful organisms are detected, the shipment will be rejected, and the export eligibility of the associated plantation and packing facility will be temporarily suspended.

 

Registration for Plantation Codes

A plantation code is a mandatory requirement for passion fruit exportation. Businesses must register for a code with the local Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection by submitting the following documents:

  • Application form for plantation code registration
  • Business registration certificate
  • Land use rights certificate
  • VietGAP certification (if applicable)
