Import Procedure for Adhesive Glue – Adhesive glue is an essential material in many industries, particularly in paper production, woodworking, textiles, and other fields. Despite its importance in the production chain, importing adhesive glue into Vietnam involves complex customs procedures and strict legal regulations. To ensure that adhesive glue products are imported legally, properly, and in compliance with legal requirements, Ipologistics has established a standardized and professional import procedure.

This article will provide a detailed analysis of the import process for adhesive glue handled by Ipologistics, clarifying legal issues, product policies, and related tax regulations.

1. Why It’s Important to Understand the Import Process for Adhesive Glue

Importing adhesive glue is a crucial activity for many manufacturing industries. However, if you don’t fully understand the process and related factors, your business could face problems such as:

  • Delays in customs clearance: If you don’t prepare the necessary documentation, your goods may be delayed at the port, affecting production schedules.
  • Customs declaration errors: Incorrect HS codes or declarations could result in fines, additional costs, or rejection of goods at customs.
  • Not optimizing tax costs and fees: Without understanding the import tax regulations and trade agreements, your business may miss out on potential tax benefits.

Therefore, understanding the process and factors involved in importing adhesive glue is essential to avoid unnecessary risks.

2. Detailed Import Procedure for Adhesive Glue

The import process for adhesive glue can be broken down into multiple steps, each requiring accuracy and strict compliance with legal regulations. Ipologistics will guide you through each step from preparation to customs declaration and ensuring compliance with legal and tax policies.

Step 1: Understanding the Product and Import Needs

Before proceeding with any procedures, it is important to clearly understand the type of adhesive glue your company intends to import. This is a critical step because it helps determine the correct HS code, safety requirements, and applicable taxes for your product.

  • Type of adhesive glue: Adhesive glues can be categorized based on their use (paper, wood, textiles, or rubber, food, etc.). Ipologistics will help you classify the glue based on your production needs.
  • Quantity and value: Determining the exact quantity and value of goods is necessary for calculating import costs and taxes.
  • Country of origin: If importing from countries that have free trade agreements with Vietnam, you can benefit from preferential import taxes.

Step 2: Choosing the Shipping Method and Contract Signing

After determining the import needs, you will need to sign a contract with the international supplier and choose a suitable shipping method. Depending on the quantity, you can select:

  • Sea freight: This is the most common and cost-effective method for large shipments.
  • Air freight: Suitable for smaller, urgent shipments.
  • Land transport: If you are importing from neighboring countries, land transport may be the most efficient option.

Ipologistics will help you choose the best shipping method based on your needs and budget.

Step 3: Determining the HS Code for Adhesive Glue

HS codes are critical in classifying goods and determining import taxes. Ipologistics will assist you in determining the correct HS code for the adhesive glue you are importing. For example:

  • HS code for industrial adhesive glue is typically 3506 (adhesives, other glues).
  • HS code for adhesive glue used in paper or wood industries could be 3501 (adhesives for industrial products).

Using the correct HS code ensures your customs declaration is accurate, helping to avoid delays in clearance.

Step 4: Preparing the Customs Documentation

Once you’ve determined the HS code, you need to prepare the necessary customs documentation for import procedures. The required documents include:

  • Commercial Invoice: Specifies buyer and seller details, product value, quantity, and type.
  • Packing List: Details packaging, weight, and dimensions of each unit of goods.
  • Bill of Lading: Confirms the shipment and transport method.
  • Certificate of Origin: Ensures the glue product has a clear origin, helping you take advantage of preferential taxes under trade agreements.
  • Import License (if applicable): Some types of adhesive glue may require an import license if they are subject to special regulations (e.g., hazardous chemicals).

Step 5: Customs Declaration and Tax Payment

When the goods arrive at the port, Ipologistics will handle the customs declaration and payment of related taxes:

  • Customs declaration: The goods will be declared according to the correct HS code, value, usage, and origin.
  • Import tax: The import tax is calculated based on the HS code, the value of the goods, and the applicable tax policies. Ipologistics will help you calculate the correct tax rates.
  • Value-added tax (VAT): The VAT rate for imported goods is 10%, though you may be eligible for a VAT refund under certain conditions.

Step 6: Quality and Safety Check

If the adhesive glue contains hazardous chemicals or is flammable, a safety and quality check is mandatory. Ipologistics will work with relevant authorities to ensure the imported product meets safety and health requirements.

Step 7: Transportation and Delivery of Goods

After customs clearance, the goods will be transported to your warehouse. Ipologistics ensures that the goods are delivered safely and on time.
