3. Import tax of all kinds

Import tax is an obligation that the importer must fulfill when importing goods to Vietnam. Import tax for goods has two types: Value added tax and import tax. To calculate import tax, please refer to the calculation below. How to calculate tax when doing import procedures for various types of goods is as follows:

Import tax determined by HS code, import tax is calculated according to the formula:
Import tax = CIF value x % tax rate

Import VAT is determined by the formula:
Value added tax = (CIF value + Import tax) x VAT rate %.

According to the above formula, it can be seen that import tax depends on the tax rate according to the HS code. To get the lowest and most accurate tax rate, it is necessary to determine the correct HS code. Besides, it also depends on whether the shipment has a certificate of origin or not, to enjoy a special preferential tax rate.

For goods imported from countries such as: Europe, India, Australia, Chile, China, Korea, Japan, ASEAN countries. Importers should ask the seller to provide them with a certificate of origin to enjoy the lowest import tax rates.

Depending on the green, yellow, or red classification, carry out the import procedures for various types of goods.

The declaration must be opened as soon as possible, no later than 15 days from the date of declaration. The declarant must bring the documents to the Customs Department to open the customs declaration. After 15 days, the declaration will be canceled and you will face a penalty fee from the customs.

Note: After having the official declaration, you need to contact the customs office to carry out the import procedures for all kinds of scissors. You should not leave the declaration for a long time before bringing it down to carry out the import procedures.

When the declaration has not been cleared, it is necessary to carry out the procedures to clear the declaration. If it is overdue, you will face a penalty fee and it will take a lot of time.
