This afternoon, the Market surveillance authority entered my business to check our goods. So, in addition to presenting a referral for inspection, can my company be required to present an industry card in Vietnam? 

    • According to Clause 2, Article 16 of Circular 27/2020/TT-BCT regulating enforcement of inspection decision, in which:

      2. At the beginning of the inspection, the chief inspector must initiate the following procedures:

      a) Present the market inspection card; publish and assign the inspection decision to the inspected individual or the representative of the inspected entity;

      b) Notify the inspected individual or the representative of the inspected entity of the composition of the inspectorate and witnesses (if any);

      c) Request the inspected individual or the representative of inspected entity to abide by the inspection decision of the competent person and work with the inspectorate;

      d) In case the inspected individual or the representative of inspected entity is not present at the inspection site, the inspectorate shall still announce the inspection decision and conduct the inspection in the presence of the representative of People's Committee of commune or representative of police office of commune and witnesses.

      Thus, in addition to presenting the inspection decision, the head of market surveillance authority must present additional market inspection cards in Vietnam. Therefore, your company requires to present industry cards (market inspection cards) which are grounded.
