From September, second-hand mobile phones, laptops, tablet computers and
other office machines will not be allowed to be imported into Vietnam.
The Ministry of Information and
Communications has issued Circular 11/2012/TT-BTTTT, listing information technology
products subject to the ban.
Accordingly, used printers, fax
machines, photo-copiers, text-processing machines, calculating equipment and
electronic devices that can send and receive sound and images as well as their
spare parts are also on the list.
The move is intended to stop
industrial waste from entering Vietnam and ensure customers' rights.
However, the ban will not be
imposed on devices imported for maintenance, refurbishing, re-manufacturing and
equipment for production, study and research.
After being maintained,
refurbished or re manufactured, the imported products must be re-exported.
Waste generated during the process must be treated following the country's
legal regulations or exported.
The ministry also said that
imports will be regularly inspected.
