Animal feed is one of the product categories subject to strict regulatory control when imported into Vietnam.
Under Circular No. 27/2026/TT-BNNMT, effective July 1, 2026, many animal feed products have been classified as Group 2 Goods and must comply with applicable quality requirements before they can be distributed in the Vietnamese market.
Common Products Covered
The regulated product categories include:
- Complete compound feed
- Concentrated feed
- Feed supplements
- Feed ingredients
- Vitamins
- Amino acids
- Live microorganisms (Probiotics)
- Inactive yeast
- Enzymes
- Flavoring agents
- Coloring agents
- Minerals
- Feed additives
- Essential plant oils
- Chemicals used in animal feed
Each product category is accompanied by specific HS Codes and the corresponding technical regulations that businesses must comply with.
Importing Does Not Automatically Mean Immediate Customs Clearance
For many of these products, importers are required to:
- Verify the applicable technical regulations.
- Prepare the required conformity certification documents.
- Complete conformity assessment procedures in accordance with regulations.
- Undergo specialized inspection where mandatory.
Failure to prepare the required documentation may result in requests for additional documents or extended customs clearance times.
Why Should Businesses Verify Requirements Before Signing a Purchase Contract?
Many companies only review import procedures after the shipment has already been loaded onto the vessel.
This often leads to:
- Missing documentation
- Delivery delays
- Higher container detention and demurrage costs
- Additional port storage charges
Reviewing import requirements during the planning stage enables businesses to prepare in advance and minimize unnecessary risks and costs.
