What is the demand for importing foreign confectionery to Vietnam?
Candy is a favorite dish of many people, not only children but also adults. There are many confectionery brands on the market, diverse in types, designs as well as prices, suitable for all customer needs. Normally, imported confectionery has a higher price than domestically produced ones, but they are most popular because of their good quality, delicious taste and reputable brand.
Especially when entering the end of the year near the Tet holiday, the demand for confectionery in our country's market is showing signs of increasing sharply and suddenly. Therefore, the import of confectionery and many other foods is becoming more vibrant than ever. Faced with increasing consumer demand, confectionery businesses and importers need to increase the quantity of imported goods to meet the needs of the market and consumers.
In fact, the market for imported confectionery is very large. Along with that, there is a diversity of confectionery types and many differences in import policies for each type. However, for imported confectionery, it is necessary to register for inspection of imported confectionery (except for cases exempted from State inspection on imported food safety according to Article 13 of Decree 15/2018/ND-CP and Point dd Clause 2 Article 41 Decree 85/2019/ND-CP) and if eligible, will be issued a certificate certifying that the food meets import requirements.
In particular, customers need to clearly understand information such as HS code, import policy, taxes as well as necessary papers and documents when carrying out confectionery import procedures at the Customs Office. Imported confectionery shipments are cleared through customs fastest and according to the most correct procedures.
