Documentation we ship with every consignment
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- Bill of Lading
- Form AI Certificate of Origin (issued by Indian Export Inspection Council under AITIGA)
- Phytosanitary certificate for agricultural products
- DAV (Drug Administration of Vietnam) import licence for pharma
- Fumigation certificate (ISPM-15) for wooden packaging
Form AI Certificate of Origin is mandatory to claim AITIGA preferential duty. Without it the higher MFN rate applies. Vietnam VAT is 10% standard. Vietnamese importers prefer payment by LC at sight or DP terms; cash advance is uncommon. The country is rapidly emerging as a pharma manufacturing hub and imports large volumes of Indian APIs and finished formulations. Cinnamon and pepper are areas where India competes with Vietnam itself; Indian turmeric, ashwagandha, and curcumin are clear winners.
Frequently asked: India to Vietnam
How do I claim AITIGA duty benefit when importing from India to Vietnam?
Request a Form AI Certificate of Origin from your Indian supplier. We issue it through the Export Inspection Council (EIC) on every AITIGA-eligible shipment. Without Form AI, Vietnam Customs applies the higher MFN duty rate.
Can Darsavio EXIM supply ashwagandha extract to Vietnamese formulators?
Yes. Withania somnifera standardised to 1.5%, 2.5%, 5%, or 10% withanolides (HPLC verified), HS 13021919. COA per batch, heavy-metal panel, microbial profile, residual-solvent declaration. Vietnam DAV registration assistance available for finished-formulation buyers.
What is the ocean transit time from India to Ho Chi Minh City?
16-20 days from Nhava Sheva (JNPT) to Cat Lai Port. Hai Phong in the north is 17-22 days. Air freight from Delhi or Mumbai to HCMC is 1-2 days.
Does Vietnam require ISPM-15 wood packaging treatment?
Yes. All wooden pallets, crates, and dunnage must carry the ISPM-15 stamp confirming heat treatment or methyl-bromide fumigation. We use only ISPM-15-compliant packaging on every shipment.
Which Indian products move best into Vietnam?
Pharmaceutical raw materials and APIs, Ayurvedic actives (ashwagandha, curcumin, brahmi), whole and ground spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander), leather and textile inputs, and machinery. Vietnam re-exports many finished products to Japan, USA, EU.
