On February 2, 2024, Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) issued Circular 01/2024/TT-BNNPTNT, announcing the List of Harmonized System (HS) codes for Goods under MARD's state management and the List of Imported and Exported Goods subject to Specialized Inspections in the agricultural sector. This report provides an unofficial translation of Circular 01/2024, focusing on Section 1, 5, 9, and 14 of Appendix I, along with Section 5 of Appendix III. These sections detail the updated HS codes for animals, animal products, plants, and plant products subject to quarantine inspection, as well as HS codes for feed ingredients subject to quality examination. Notable amendments include MARD allowing post-clearance quality examination for feed ingredients, including grains, oil seeds, oil seed meals, DDGS, animal protein, and other feed ingredients, as well as completed feeds. Circular 01/2024 will be effective from March 20, 2024, replacing MARD's Circular 11/2021.
