In today’s tech-driven world, many Vietnamese enterprises rely heavily on IT products like firewalls, routers, and essential network equipment. However, navigating Vietnam’s intricate import compliance can be a significant challenge. Without expert guidance, importers of IT shipments often face high risks of delays or even rejection.
Importing IT equipment into Vietnam—especially items involving civil cryptography or cybersecurity—requires obtaining an Import License which is called a Civil Cryptography Product Import license, adding another layer of difficulty.
At Knight Logistics, we understand that dealing with these complex rules can be overwhelming. That’s why our Importer of Record (IOR) service is designed to guide you through every step, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free experience.
For a quick and accurate service, you will need to provide the following documents before shipping your IT products, including:
In addition to gathering the correct documents, proper labeling is also critical. Missing or inaccurate labels can lead to customs delays, especially during 'Red Channel' inspections, where every detail is scrutinized.
After collecting all required documents, Knight Logistics will submit your application for a Civil Cryptographic Product (CCP) License. This process typically takes around six weeks:
Here’s a key tip: Not all IT equipment requires a CCP license. If your product is not related to civil cryptography or cybersecurity, Knight Logistics can request a CCP exemption letter from NACIS on your behalf. This enables you to bypass the CCP application process, significantly speeding up customs clearance.
The import process for IT hardware shipments is often complex and time-consuming. Additionally, figuring out if your products require a CCP license can create even more confusion.
