Plant Quarantine

I. What is plant quarantine?

Plant quarantine is the state management activity of objects subject to plant quarantine that must be analyzed for pest risks before being imported into Vietnam to prevent pests and harmful microorganisms from entering and spreading within our country's territory.

  • If imported plants are on the List of objects subject to quarantine upon import, plant quarantine registration must be carried out.
  • If the plant is on the List of objects subject to plant quarantine and must be analyzed for pest risks before import, then apply for an import plant quarantine license and then register for quarantine. (According to Circular 30/2014/TT-BNNPTN)
