How to import Korean cosmetics to Vietnam
DAV notification route and Vietnamese label review.
Notification & local responsibility
DAV publishes a receipt-number procedure for imported cosmetic product notifications. Have the local business responsible for placing the product on the market confirm the current dossier, authorisation and filing route before shipment. [1] [2]
Labels & language
Review mandatory Vietnamese information and any supplementary label against DAV’s consolidated cosmetic rules. Have the local responsible business approve the translation and required details before printing. [2]
Ingredient checks
Use DAV’s current cosmetic rules and regulatory updates to confirm the applicable ASEAN ingredient restrictions. Ask the local reviewer to check the exact formula and claims. [2] [3]
Duties & taxes
Use the official customs resource below as a starting point. Ask your customs broker to confirm the product classification, origin documents, customs value and applicable duties, taxes and fees for this shipment before you accept the quote. [4]
No duty rate is assumed in this guide. Include your receiving city and the importer of record in the quote request so destination costs can be discussed.
Categories needing extra care
- Food & supplements
Send these as a separate product list for classification, ingredient, label and permit review. This cosmetics guide does not determine their import requirements.
- Aerosols & perfume by air
Flag these products before choosing air shipping. Request a safety data sheet and a carrier acceptance review, including packaging and documentation, before confirming transport.
