IMPORT COSMETICS SERVICES AT SMARTLINK

In recent years, the procedures for importing cosmetics into Vietnam have significantly improved. Vietnam has signed numerous free trade agreements to reduce import taxes to 0-5%, facilitating the importation of cosmetics. Below is a detailed guide on the latest procedures for import cosmetics services for businesses.

Procedures for Declaring Import Cosmetics

Cosmetics are substances or preparations used to come into contact with external parts of the human body (skin, hair, nails, lips, external reproductive organs) or teeth and oral mucous membranes, with the aim of cleaning, perfuming, changing appearance, protecting, or maintaining the body. To import cosmetics into Vietnam, product registration must be done with the Drug Administration of Vietnam, Ministry of Health.

Imported cosmetics may be subject to value-added tax (VAT) of 10% and import taxes ranging from 10% to 27%. To enjoy special preferential tariffs, enterprises need a certificate of origin (C/O) from the relevant trade agreements.

Import Tax Calculation Formula:

Import tax rate is based on the latest import-export tariff schedule of the Ministry of Finance.

VAT (Value-Added Tax):

VAT amount = (Goods value + Import tax) x 10%
