Alcohol, beer and alcoholic beverages carry simultaneous risks in HS classification, special consumption tax, C/O, alcohol trading conditions, food safety, supplementary labeling and electronic stamps. This guide provides an E2E review map for importers before ETA. The guidance focuses on policy conditions, required dossiers, filing timing, and the risks that commonly lead to document supplements or customs delays. Before execution, the company should confirm the goods description, HS classification, model or technical composition, identify the competent authority, and align specialist filings with the customs document set.

QUICK SUMMARY

Policy group

F&B – Food & Beverage; also subject to alcohol/beer trading, food safety, labels, electronic alcohol stamps for applicable alcohol products and SCT.

Core HS groups

Review 2203 / 2204 / 2205 / 2206 / 2208 based on product nature.

Key taxes

Import duty, VAT, special consumption tax by ABV/product group, and FTA preference if C/O is valid.

Illustration for Import Procedure for Alcohol / Alcoholic Beverages into Vietnam — Illustration of the product group and document review before customs clearance.

Operational reference for import-export enterprises. This guide applies to imported alcohol, beer, wine, spirits, sake, cider, RTD alcoholic drinks and alcoholic beverages imported for circulation in Vietnam. Always check the actual catalogue, original label, COA, ABV, HS code, origin, import purpose and license.

TERMS & WHY THE PROCEDURE MATTERS

ABV (Alcohol by Volume) is decisive for excise tax and labeling. SCT means special consumption tax. Self-declaration is the food safety product declaration mechanism under Decree 15/2018/ND-CP. C/O (Certificate of Origin) supports FTA preferential duty. Electronic alcohol stamp is the stamp regime for imported or domestically produced alcohol for consumption in Vietnam. The procedure affects pre-clearance, customs clearance and pre-market circulation.

PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION & IDENTIFICATION

Do not classify alcoholic beverages by trade name alone. Review product nature, fermentation/distillation, ABV, volume, packaging, ingredients/additives, original label, COA, sample/trading status and import purpose.

DETAILED PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION TABLE

Product group/scenario	Technical signs to check	Example/model/use	Evidence documents	Possible policy	Documents to compare	Application note
Imported beer	Malt beer, finished beer, ABV usually low, can/bottle/keg; shelf life, self-declaration/import food safety, supplementary labeling and SCT must be reviewed; alcohol stamps should not be presumed for beer.	Beer cans/bottles/kegs; commercial goods; marketing samples	Original label, specification, COA, contract, invoice, packing list	Product self-declaration/Food safety; excise tax; supplementary label; food safety import inspection; trading/circulation requirements depending on the actual distribution model	Invoice, PL, B/L/AWB, C/O, test report, self-declaration, business/circulation documents if distributed	Do not describe only as “beverage”; beer/ABV/package must be clear.
Wine, sparkling wine, champagne	Fermented grape base, bottle volume, ABV, country/region of production, with or without gas.	Wine 750ml, sparkling wine, champagne, wine cooler	COA, free sale/health certificate if any, original label, catalogue, C/O	Self-declaration; excise tax by ABV; supplementary label; imported alcohol stamp; food safety import inspection	C/O, COA, testing, distribution license if directly imported for trading	ABV determines excise tax: below 20% vol or from 20% vol upward.
Whisky, vodka, gin, rum, brandy, tequila	Distilled spirits, often 37.5% ABV or above; label, stamp, volume, composition, origin and batch/lot must be reviewed.	Whisky 700ml, Vodka 1L, Gin, Brandy, Rum	Catalogue/spec, COA, original label, distribution license, C/O, invoice	Alcohol distribution license under Decree 105; high excise tax; alcohol stamp; supplementary label	Alcohol distribution license; stamp purchase dossier; self-declaration/testing; customs dossier	If the importer has no alcohol distribution license, the import/entrustment model must be reviewed.
Sake, soju, cider, mead and other fermented beverages	Fermented nature, rice/fruit/honey base, ABV, gas/non-gas, flavoring/additives.	Sake, soju, cider, perry, mead	Specification, recipe/ingredient list, COA, original label, C/O	Self-declaration or registration depending on nature; excise tax by ABV; label/stamp if classified as alcohol	Food safety test report, C/O, declaration dossier, supplementary label	Do not classify by trade name only; identify fermented vs distilled.
RTD alcoholic drinks/canned cocktails	Ready-to-drink alcoholic beverage may contain sugar, flavors, CO2 and spirit base; ABV/additives must be checked.	RTD cocktail, hard seltzer, alcopop	Ingredient list, nutrition facts if any, COA, label artwork	Food safety; label; additives; excise tax; food safety import inspection	Ingredient list, test criteria, self-declaration, C/O, supplementary label	If additives are outside the permitted list or health claims appear, additional policy review is needed.
Samples/exhibition/testing goods	Small quantity and not for commercial sale; import purpose must be clear; still alcoholic if containing ethanol.	Tasting sample, exhibition, lab test	Purpose explanation, proforma invoice, packing list, sample label	May still trigger food safety, stamp, label, excise tax or alcohol management depending on use	Proforma, explanation letter, test report if required	Do not assume samples are exempt from all policies.
Goods for EPE/FDI/factory/hotel	Internal use, resale, restaurant/hotel serving or ingredient use may lead to different policies.	Hotel/restaurant supply, duty-paid stock, bonded warehouse	Contract, proper business licenses, distribution/consumption plan	Alcohol business conditions; food safety; customs; bonded warehouse if any	Distribution/wholesale/retail license; warehouse documents; import dossier	Clearly separate resale, internal use and bonded warehouse scenarios.

Operational warning: generic descriptions such as “beverage”, “alcohol drink” or “wine product” may cause HS, SCT, C/O, supplementary label and alcohol trading errors.

HS CODE – TAX – C/O

The HS and tax data below are for pre-declaration review. Final HS and tax must be checked against current tariff schedules, technical documents, ABV, ingredients, origin and actual goods.

PROPOSED HS CODE – TAX – C/O TABLE

Reference HS	Description/product group	Classification basis	Conditions	Ordinary import duty	MFN duty	VAT	C/O/FTA to review	Documents to compare

Beer	65%	70%	75%	80%	85%	90%	Calculate with import duty and VAT.

FTA/C/O TABLE BY IMPORT ROUTE

Route/origin	FTA	C/O form or origin proof	Preferential rate if determinable	Conditions	Documents to compare	Application note
ASEAN	ATIGA	C/O Form D	May be reduced to 0% for some HS lines if rules of origin and the tariff schedule for the import year are satisfied.	ASEAN-origin goods, valid origin criterion and direct consignment.	C/O Form D, invoice, PL, B/L, direct transport evidence, matching description/HS.	Check the real manufacturing country, manufacturer and third-party invoice if any.
China	ACFTA or RCEP	C/O Form E or RCEP proof of origin	Depends on final 8-digit HS and import year; do not assume it is always lower than MFN.	Origin criterion under ACFTA/RCEP and direct consignment must be met.	C/O Form E/RCEP, invoice, B/L, packing list, contract.	Common risk: C/O description does not match alcohol type, ABV or bottle volume.
Korea	AKFTA/VKFTA/RCEP	C/O Form AK, VK or RCEP proof	Depends on agreement and tariff schedule; compare VKFTA and RCEP after final HS is fixed.	Goods must be produced in Korea or meet applicable origin rules.	C/O, manufacturer evidence, invoice, transport document.	Do not select an FTA only by country name; compare rate and documentary conditions.
Japan	VJEPA/AJCEP/CPTPP/RCEP	C/O Form VJ, AJ, CPTPP proof or RCEP proof	Depends on sake/whisky/liqueur group and the schedule under each agreement.	Origin rules and document requirements of the selected agreement must be met.	Origin proof, COA, original label, invoice.	Japanese alcohol may fall under HS 2206 or 2208; wrong HS leads to wrong C/O and tax.
EU	EVFTA	EUR.1 or origin declaration under EVFTA conditions	Preferential schedule may apply; exact rate must be reviewed by 8-digit HS and import year.	EU origin and EVFTA rules of origin must be satisfied.	EUR.1/origin declaration, invoice, B/L, COA, transport file.	EU wine/spirits are often high-value; review C/O draft before shipment to avoid losing preference.
United Kingdom	UKVFTA	UK EUR.1 or UKVFTA origin document	Separate preferential schedule; review by HS and import year.	UK-origin goods and UKVFTA rules must be met.	C/O/origin declaration, invoice, B/L, original label.	Whisky from the UK/Scotland often has high ABV and SCT; C/O mistakes materially increase landed cost.
Australia/New Zealand/Canada/Mexico/Chile/Peru…	CPTPP or AANZFTA where applicable	CPTPP origin document or C/O AANZ	Depends on member country and schedule; compare CPTPP against AANZFTA.	Valid self-certification/C/O and origin rules must be met.	Origin proof, invoice, PL, B/L.	Not all CPTPP countries have the same rate every year; review the import-year tariff schedule.
India/Hong Kong	AIFTA/AHKFTA where applicable	C/O Form AI or AHK	Depends on final HS; some alcohol groups may not have a meaningful preference.	Valid origin and direct consignment.	C/O, invoice, B/L, transit documents if any.	Apply only when the special preferential rate is actually lower than MFN and documents are robust.

C/O CHECKLIST

Check the correct C/O form or origin document under the selected agreement.
Review origin criterion: WO/RVC/CTH/CTSH or product-specific rule.
Check third-party invoicing, direct consignment, country of origin, issue date and validity period.
Compare product description, HS, quantity, bottle volume, ABV, weight and container/booking number across C/O – Invoice – Packing List – B/L.
For high-value alcohol shipments, review the draft C/O before shipment to avoid losing preferential duty.

DOSSIER & SUBMISSION METHOD

The dossier should be controlled in three layers: commercial documents, technical/specialized dossier and documents submitted to competent authorities. Product name, quantity, volume, ABV, SKU, origin, label, COA, C/O and customs declaration must match.

FAQ

Does an importer need an alcohol import license?

Under alcohol trading rules, an enterprise holding an alcohol distribution license may import alcohol. For non-commercial import, entrustment or bonded warehouse models, the import purpose, importer and dossier must be reviewed.

Do wine and whisky share the same HS and tax?

No. Wine is usually reviewed under 2204, while whisky/vodka/gin/rum are often under 2208. Duty, SCT and FTA rates may differ by 8-digit HS, ABV, origin and year.

Why is ABV important?

ABV determines SCT treatment: alcohol from 20% vol upward and below 20% vol follow different schedules under the 2025 SCT Law. COA/label must show ABV clearly.

Does having C/O guarantee preferential duty?

No. C/O must be the right form, origin criterion, direct transport and matching description/HS/quantity. The HS must also be in the preferential tariff schedule for the import year.

Does imported beer require self-declaration?

Beer and prepacked alcoholic beverages should be reviewed for self-declaration and imported food safety inspection under Decree 15/2018, except special-purpose cases.

Does imported alcohol need electronic stamps?

Imported alcohol for domestic consumption must be reviewed for electronic alcohol stamp rules. Stamp purchase dossier, SKU quantities and stamping time must be controlled.

Are tasting samples treated like commercial goods?

Do not assume exemption. Samples may still trigger tax, food safety, label/stamp or purpose explanation depending on quantity and use.

Can clearance proceed without COA or test report?

It depends on customs channel and specialized requirements. COA, ABV, food safety test criteria and labels are important data; missing data can delay declaration or explanation.

What must be kept after clearance?

Customs declaration, tax documents, C/O, invoice/PL/B/L, COA, self-declaration, test report, supplementary label, stamp dossier, trading license and distribution documents.

Is advertising alcohol allowed freely?

No. Alcohol advertising is strictly regulated. Online/offline promotion, claims, KOL and landing pages should be reviewed separately.
