Fish, Cashew nuts, wheat, maize etc
They have not imported these products before but have a good network to distribute around vietnam.
Are they able to import?
If not, what is required? And how long will it take until we they can start importing?
Are there any prohibited agricultural products you can’t import?
Answer: SBLAW would like to advise you as follows:
Your partner in Vietnam can import above said agricultural products.
However, with respect of several specific agricultural such as living animal, plant variety, fresh meat etc, they shall need obtain import license from Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Area Development.
