I. WHAT ARE SAMPLES AND ADVERTISING MATERIALS
Samples are items used to introduce a certain type of goods according to their specifications and quality. Samples may have commercial value or not, may be subject to import duties or exempt from them, and may be purchased for payment or given without charge. Prohibited goods cannot be exported or imported as samples.
Advertising materials are items bearing brand names or advertisements for a certain type of goods or a business enterprise. Usually, advertising materials are gifts sent without charge. Prohibited goods cannot be exported or imported as advertising materials.
II. PERMIT FOR EXPORT AND IMPORT
Samples and advertising materials with a value of up to 50 Vietnamese Dong are exempt from export and import permits.
If the value exceeds 50 Vietnamese Dong, the sender or recipient must apply for permission from the Customs Authority.
