The checklist

What you need for Vietnam

Phytosanitary & Quality

Phytosanitary Certificate (NPPO-issued) required

Vietnam (MARD Plant Protection Department) requires a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting NPPO for imported RCN, attesting freedom from regulated pests.

⏱ ~5 days ≈ $50–$200 Issuer: Ghana PPRSD
Fumigation certificate (methyl bromide / approved treatment) required

As with India, RCN into Vietnam is fumigated against live infestation; provide the treatment certificate to avoid on-arrival re-fumigation and demurrage.

⏱ ~3 days ≈ $100–$500 Issuer: Approved fumigation operator (Ghana)

Destination Market Access

Certificate of Origin + outturn CoA required

Certificate of origin for Vietnamese customs, plus a per-lot outturn (KOR)/moisture CoA — Vietnamese processors contract on outturn with reweighing, the same as India.

⏱ ~3 days ≈ $50–$250 Issuer: GNCC / GEPA + accredited lab
