1. Regulations, HS codes and tax rates for imported machinery and equipment
2. Procedures for completing import procedures for machinery and equipment
Machinery imported into Vietnam is usually divided into 2 types:
100% new machinery
Machines that are considered 100% new are those that are manufactured and then shipped, have a manufacturing year that is not too long, and have not been operated. At the same time, the machine is untapped, unused and has a full label.
However, it is necessary to rely on the results of the inspection agency to determine that the machine is 100% new.
100% new machinery items are not on the list of the prohibited goods. However, for some types of machines, certain documents will be required.
Used machinery
According to Article 6 of Decision 18/2019/QD-TTg, the law stipulates that if you want to import old machinery, you must meet the following criteria:
“1. Its age does not exceed 10 years. Ages of machinery and equipment in certain specific fields are provided for in the Appendix I enclosed herewith.
2. It is manufactured in accordance with:
a) National Technical Regulations (QCVN) on safety, energy saving, and environmental protection;
b) In case of unavailability of National Technical Regulations (QCVN) for the type of machinery or equipment to be imported, it must be manufactured in conformity with technical indicators of Vietnam’s Standards (TCVN) or Standards of G7 countries or Korea with regard to safety, energy saving, and environmental protection”.
If the imported machinery has an identification code, the identifier code shall be applied. Otherwise, if there is no identifier, use the specified HS code application rule. Based on the nature, characteristics and reality of the goods, it is possible to apply the HS code for the most appropriate machinery.
To complete the procedure for importing used machinery, enterprises need to fulfill their obligations with the following taxes:
Step 1: Check and prepare import documents
For machinery and equipment, it is necessary to prepare the following documents:
In addition to documents prescribed by the Customs Law, enterprises must supplement the following documents:
Step 2: Declare and transmit the customs declaration
After preparing and completing the documents, the enterprise will carry out customs declaration. Enterprises need to fill in all information of imported goods when declaring, to avoid errors because it will affect the customs clearance process.
If there is no experience, the importer is required to use external customs brokerage service to make the declaration process safe and avoid unnecessary risks.
When the declaration is complete and transmitted, the number will be automatically assigned by the system if the information is correct and complete. Double check the information to make sure there are no errors.
Step 3: Pay tax and complete import procedures
It is necessary to pay 2 main taxes for imported goods, which are:
Step 4: Transfer the goods to the storage warehouse
After completing the customs procedures, the importer needs to pay the fee and receive the EIR (delivery note) to be loaded onto the truck and transported to the warehouse for storage. Need to be prepared to rent a vehicle to pick up the goods to the warehouse if there is a separate warehouse or rent a warehouse/yard to be able to store the shipment.
The steps may vary when importing actual machinery & equipment products depending on many different factors (specific goods, means of transport,...). In order to have a detailed understanding of all the necessary processes and documents, individuals or businesses should seek out an outsourced import-export service provider to ensure the safety of the export clearance process.
