Selling into 🇻🇳 Vietnam

Vietnam is the world's largest cashew processor and buys much of its raw nuts from West Africa. Raw cashew goes through plant quarantine at the port, and food for sale needs a safety declaration from the importer. Here is everything Passmark tracks for exporters from Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Nigeria.

PLANT QUARANTINE · IMPORT PERMIT
PER SHIPMENT
Raw cashew is a regulated plant product. Each shipment needs a permit, a phytosanitary certificate and fumigation records.

Vietnamese buyers need a phytosanitary certificate that matches the quarantine permit

Shipments are held at the port when the certificate and the permit disagree. Passmark checks both before the container leaves.
