• Whether Human hair requires an export license, phytosanitary certificate, or pre-shipment quality inspection.
• The destination market’s import requirements — labeling, C/O format, quarantine, and product standards.
• Whether the exporting entity has a Vietnamese tax code and is registered for customs declaration.
• Mode of transport: sea freight, air freight, or road.

Export goods label – Shipping mark

For exported goods, when ensuring smooth transportation and customs procedures, businesses should affix shipping marks on the packages.

Shipping mark content normally includes the following:

• Product names in English
• Name of importing unit
• MADE IN VIETNAM
• Package number/total number of packages
• In addition, information such as contract/invoice number can be added on the shipping mark
• Notes on arrangement and transportation of goods (if any): eg: need to be placed vertically, fragile goods, etc.

Step-by-Step: Vietnam Export Customs Process for Human hair

The following steps apply to the majority of Human hair export shipments by sea or air freight.

1. Step 1 – Sign the sales contract: Agree on Incoterms (FOB, CIF, EXW, etc.), payment terms (T/T, L/C, D/P), and document requirements — particularly C/O format and any certificates required by the buyer’s country.
2. Step 2 – Obtain required permits and C/O before loading: Apply for any export license or inspection certificate required. Request the C/O from VCCI or Ministry of Industry and Trade after finalizing the Invoice and Packing List.
3. Step 3 – Pack and label goods to destination market standards: Confirm labeling and packaging requirements for the destination country (EU, US, Australia, etc. have strict regulations). Prepare carton marks and shipping marks as required by the buyer.
4. Step 4 – File export customs declaration (VNACCS system): Declare product details, HS code, customs value, and origin. The system assigns a clearance lane: Green (immediate release), Yellow (document check), Red (physical inspection).
5. Step 5 – Deliver to port/airport and collect Bill of Lading: Hand cargo over to the carrier per the agreed schedule. Collect the original B/L or AWB to complete the document set for the buyer.
6. Step 6 – Send documents to buyer and collect payment: Dispatch the full document set (Invoice, Packing List, B/L, C/O, and any certificates) to the buyer for their import customs clearance and payment processing per contract terms.

Common Mistakes and Key Risks When Exporting Human hair from Vietnam

These are the issues most frequently responsible for delays, financial losses, and compliance failures — based on real export cases.

Most common mistakes

• Wrong HS code on export declaration: Affects export duty calculation, C/O eligibility, and inspection requirements. Verify before filing.
• Missing phytosanitary inspection before stuffing: Some markets require pre-shipment inspection before goods are packed into containers. Requesting inspection after stuffing means reopening and re-inspecting — costly and time-consuming.
• Non-compliant labeling for the destination market: EU, US, Australia, and Japan have strict product labeling requirements. Goods that fail to comply may be refused entry or destroyed at destination — at the exporter’s cost.
• Declared value does not match Invoice: Creates customs complications, may delay L/C payment, and can trigger compliance reviews.

Best practices

• Confirm the correct C/O format with the buyer before production — not after shipment.
• Check destination market labeling and packaging requirements before packing.
• Keep export records for a minimum of 5 years for post-clearance audit compliance.
• Monitor FTA tariff schedules annually — share rate changes proactively with buyers as a value-add.
