Why is the need to import electronic scales to Vietnam increasing?
Electronic scales are electronic devices used to determine the weight of an object. When we put an object on the electronic scale, the sensor will sense the actual weight of the object and then forward it to the processing chip and put the signal on the scale display screen in just 2 - 5 seconds. Electronic scales consist of two main parts: Force sensor, also known as Loadcell, and Scale display screen.
Importing electronic scales is currently becoming an important need in the fields of production, processing, and trade. Electronic scales with modern technology help with quick and accurate measurements, increasing efficiency and accuracy in the mass measurement process. Importing electronic scales requires attention to quality, measurement and safety regulations as well as customs and import tax processes.
Electronic scales are divided into products with different functions such as:
- Counting scale: A specialized electronic scale for counting the quantity of goods and products;
- Electronic floor scale: An electronic scale used for goods and appliances with large weights such as in the import-export sector;
- Electronic bench scale: An electronic scale used for commercial purposes and applied in production with goods of moderate weight;
- Gold scale: An electronic scale used in the gold and precious metal industry. The scale has extremely small errors, helping to accurately weigh the actual weight of the product;
- Cash register scale: An electronic scale used in supermarkets and stores with the main function of weighing weight and calculating prices;
- Car scale, truck scale: A specialized electronic scale for weighing the load of cars and trucks, calculating the weight of goods on the vehicle, the scale can weigh large weights of 100 tons, 200 tons. ,…;
- Technical scale: A type of scale used in technical industries;
- Electronic analytical balance: A new type of electronic balance used for weighing and measuring, with accuracy to 0.1mg.
As the country's economy is growing, more and more domestic production and business enterprises are also participating in exchange and trade in the international market. Import-export activities in Vietnam are extremely exciting and increase every year. However, there are many domestic import-export enterprises that lack experience because for each different product, import/export in different countries will require different procedures.
In general, the process of making customs clearance papers for all types of goods is currently quite strict, so problems arising during the customs clearance process are not uncommon. This not only delays work progress but also causes many other major economic losses. Therefore, Business Households and Enterprises should find a unit that specializes in taking care of all customs procedures from A - Z so that the process of importing electronic scales can take place quickly and smoothly.

A few things to keep in mind when importing electronic scales
Businesses need to pay taxes when importing goods. Taxes and percentages are clearly specified for each type of goods. Businesses can refer to the import and export tax schedule. Goods are only cleared through customs when businesses have fulfilled their tax obligations. Each type of goods will have a different corresponding HS code, that's why businesses need to determine the correct HS Code of the goods to make the correct documents and procedures. At the same time, avoid being fined for applying the wrong HS Code.
Normal import tax will be very high, so businesses should apply for a certificate of origin (C/O) from the exporter to enjoy special preferential import tax rates. Electronic scales as well as other imported items need to be labeled. All import documents need to be prepared accurately and completely to avoid additional cases that will take time and can cost a lot of money for storage and storage.
