Vietnam’s ministry of industry and trade recently issued a circular, temporarily suspending import for re-export of medical masks, gloves and protective suits for COVID-19 prevention and control from March 15 to December 31. The decision is aimed at controlling and preventing smuggling, commercial fraud and illegal trans-shipment of such products.

Shipments of such products that have undergone customs procedures for temporary import from January 1 this year to March 14 shall be subject to re-export in accordance with existing regulations.

Since May 2020, Vietnam has been able to produce at least 200 million medical masks and gloves every month.
