New FDI enterprises
New FDI enterprises setting up a factory in Vietnam
You have just set up a factory in Vietnam, most of your materials come from China, and buyers in the US, the EU, Japan and Korea are asking about origin. This page puts the articles in the order of the work you will meet in the first year: how to import materials, how origin is calculated, where to apply for a C/O, and what to prepare for a post clearance audit.
The articles below are listed in the recommended reading order.
- The import document set: six places it goes out of line and what each one costs
- Certificate of origin: why holding the certificate still may not get you the preference
- Customs value and consultation: what to prepare before you are asked
- Rules of origin and export C/O
I have been trained as a lawyer under the lawyer training programme for international integration at the Judicial Academy, but I do not yet hold a lawyer's practising certificate, so the content here is professional information shared with citations to the governing legal documents, not legal advice on any specific case.
