2. Attached hereto is the List of goods not eligible for reduced preferential tariff rates under the Vietnam-Laos Preferential Program (Annex II).
Article 2. Goods eligible for a 0% import tariff rate:
Goods imported from the Lao People's Democratic Republic that are not included in the two Lists mentioned in Article 1 of this Circular shall be eligible for a 0% import tariff rate (zero percent).

1. Goods imported and eligible for the tariff rates specified in Point 1 of Article 1 and Article 2 of this Circular must meet the following conditions:
a) Imported through customs declarations registered with customs authorities from January 1, 2009 (For goods subject to quota tariff rates, the customs declarations must be registered with customs authorities from the date when Vietnamese legal regulations on quota tariff rates for goods of Lao origin imported in 2009 with a 0% import tariff rate take effect).
b) Goods must be directly imported and transported from the Lao People's Democratic Republic to Vietnam; and must have a Certificate of Origin in Form S (C/O form S) issued by the authorized authority of the Lao People's Democratic Republic according to the regulations.

Article 4. Tariff quotas:
Goods subject to tariff quotas (Annex IV): In addition to meeting the conditions set out in Article 3 of this Circular, they must also fall within the total quantity of tariff quotas for imports in 2009 and comply with the conditions stipulated in Vietnamese legal regulations on tariff quotas. In cases where the quantity of imports exceeds the total quantity of tariff quotas for imports in 2009 or does not meet the conditions stipulated in Vietnamese legal regulations on tariff quotas, the excess quantity will be subject to a 50% reduction in the tariff rate as specified in Article 1 for goods listed in Annex I or the MFN preferential tariff rate for other goods subject to tariff quotas. Specifically, for tobacco leaves:
