2026 Export Right Application Process and Frequently Asked Questions

2026 Export Right Application for Vietnamese Electronic Consumer Goods: From Pain Points to Solutions

In 2026,the Vietnamese electronic consumer goods market is experiencing explosive growth.According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam,the import value of smartphones and smart home products in the first half of the year increased by 22% year-on-year,with Chinese-made electronic components accounting for more than 60% of the total.Many small and medium-sized electronic enterprises in Shanghai want to seize this opportunity,but they often encounter policy bottlenecks in export right application: for example,the newly implemented Regulations on the Import Management of Electronic Consumer Goods in Vietnam in 2026 require export enterprises to complete both export right filing and the 3C certification linkage with Vietnamese customs at the same time.Many enterprises have their application cycle extended from the original 15 days to more than 30 days due to unfamiliarity with the process.

1.Core Service Value of Zhongshen for the Vietnamese Market

General Manager Zeng of Zhongshen has been engaged in foreign trade agency for more than 20 years.He pointed out: "The key to export right application for electronic consumer goods in the Vietnamese market is not ’whether it can be done’,but ’whether it can meet the local policy details’.For example,the newly added requirement of ’uploading electronic origin certificates’ by Vietnamese customs in 2026 has caused many enterprises to fail in filing because they are still using paper versions." The core value of Zhongshen lies in helping enterprises sort out Vietnam-specific policy barriers in advance,connecting export right application with subsequent customs clearance and tax refund processes,and avoiding the situation of "having obtained the export right but failing to pass customs".

2.Module Breakdown of Export Right Application: Policy Responses Specific to Vietnam

Zhongshen divides export right application into three core modules,each with customized responses to Vietnamese policies:

• Module 1: Pre-application Document Preparation (Vietnam-specific Barriers) Vietnamese regulations in 2026 require electronic consumer goods export enterprises to provide: ① A copy of Vietnam-official recognized 3C certification (to be uploaded to the Vietnamese customs system); ② Double certification of the certificate of origin (China Council for the Promotion of International Trade + Vietnamese Embassy in China); ③ The enterprise business license must be translated into Vietnamese and notarized.Zhongshen’s response: We have a dedicated team for Vietnamese policy coordination,which helps enterprises verify the validity of 3C certification in advance and connects to the certification channel of the Vietnamese Embassy.The document review pass rate reaches 98% (only 70% for self-handling).
• Module 2: Customs Filing and Foreign Exchange Registration Vietnam added a "electronic consumer goods export enterprise filing" link in 2026,which requires submitting product models,tariff codes and information of Vietnamese importers at the same time.Some enterprises have their filings returned due to incorrect tariff codes.Zhongshen’s response: We connect to the Vietnamese customs database to match product tariff codes in advance; In the foreign exchange registration link,we bind the designated Vietnamese bank accounts to avoid delays in foreign exchange receipt and payment.
• Module 3: Tax Refund Qualification Coordination Vietnam has a "product export volume compliance" requirement for electronic consumer goods export tax refunds (starting from 2026,the monthly export value of a single product must exceed US$50,000).Many small,medium and micro enterprises cannot enjoy tax refunds due to lack of advance planning.Zhongshen’s response: We help enterprises split orders to meet tax refund standards; We connect to the green channel of the tax authorities,shortening the tax refund arrival time from 30 days to 15 days.

4.Case: Speed-up of Export Right Application for a Shanghai Electronic Enterprise

In March 2026,a smart home enterprise in Shanghai wanted to expand the Vietnamese market.When applying for export right by itself,it had its documents returned twice because it failed to notice the "electronic upload" requirement of Vietnamese 3C certification,and the application cycle had reached 28 days.After finding Zhongshen,General Manager Zeng’s team helped the enterprise complete the electronic upload of 3C certification within 3 days and coordinated the certification with the Vietnamese Embassy,and only took 10 days to complete the export right filing.The first batch of exported goods received tax refunds within 15 days.
