PROCEDURES FOR IMPORTING MANUFACTURING STONES
STEP 1: UP THE CUSTOMS DECLARATION AT THE IMPORT PORT.
Profile include:
Contract
Commercial invoice
Packing slips
Bill of lading
Certificate of Origin (if any)
Certificate of Conformity:
Artificial paving stone on the basis of organic binders belongs to group of products and goods of building materials group 2 (products and goods in conditions of transportation, storage, preservation, reasonable and correct use). purposes still have the potential to cause harm to people, animals, plants, property, the environment).
According to QCVN 16:2019/BXD, construction material products and goods of group 2, when circulating on the market, must have a certificate of conformity, announcement of conformity and/or a notice of receipt of the declaration dossier. conformity with regulations of the Department of Construction of the province or centrally run city where the organization or individual registers their business.
Artificial paving stone based on organic binder is in the group of “brick, paving stone” according to the provisions of QCVN 16:2015/BXD, artificial paving stone products based on organic binder must start be required to certify and announce the conformity before being circulated on the market
Thus, the registration process for quality inspection of artificial paving stone based on organic binders used for paving in construction is as follows:
STEP 2. REGISTRATION PROC
The certification of conformity for imported building material products and goods in general can be checked by two methods:
| Method 1: | Method 7: |
| This method applies to imported products manufactured by overseas production facilities that have built a quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001.
Each time of import, Enterprises only need to provide additional “sample test results” to the Department of Construction and Customs. |
This method applies to imported products that do not have sufficient records of certification according to ISO 9001.
Each time of import, Enterprises submit all sample test results and certificate of conformity for each imported shipment to Construction and Customs. |
| The validity of the certificate of conformity according to mode 1 shall not exceed 01 year | The validity of the Certificate of Conformity under method 7 is only valid for batches of products and goods. |
According to Official Letter No. 3138/BXD- VLXD “The agency performing the state inspection of the quality of imported goods for construction materials is the Department of Construction”
The specific procedures for quality inspection of building materials are as follows:
State inspection registration form according to the form of the Department of Construction
Contract
Commercial invoice
Goods packing slip
Bill of lading
Import declaration
the enterprise submits a certificate of registration of state quality inspection certified by the Department of Construction to the customs office to bring the goods to the warehouse for storage.
TRADE INSPECTION
In commercial activities, artificial paving stones based on organic binders, from the time they are produced to the time they are delivered to the buyer/consumer, have to go through many stages (transportation, delivery, preservation …), it is inevitable that risks, errors, losses … will lead to disputes between the parties involved in the purchase/sale contract.
Some common disputes are:
Errors in number/volume, quality, packaging, origin, type of goods, condition; (inspection under commercial contract)
Division of responsibility, compensation levels of related parties when goods are lost; (insurance loss assessment)
Time, place of delivery, transfer of ownership, risks to the goods…
In order to directly prevent and have a legal basis to resolve disputes that occur quickly when goods are damaged, missing, lost, damaged, etc., the contracting parties often include clauses in commercial contracts. appoint an independent, neutral, competent/reputable inspection organization to conduct inspection and issue results on conformity in terms of goods quality, quantity and volume compared to the signed contract.
STEP 3: COMPLETE SAMPLE COLLECTION
After that, notify the Conformity Certification organization to conduct testing
For artificial paving stones on the basis of organic binders, they will be tested and tested according to the following basic criteria:
Water absorption, %, not more than
Bending strength, MPa, not less than
Surface abrasion resistance- ha, not less than
STEP 4: SUPPLY THE STATE INSPECTION RESULTS NOTIFICATION SHEET
After having the test results and the certificate of conformity according to QCVN 16:2019, the enterprise brings the certificate of conformity to the Department of Construction to get the Notice of State Inspection Results. Depending on the process of each Department of Construction, the time to issue the Notice of State Inspection Results will be different, but the Enterprise needs to monitor the dossier to no later than 15 days.
Enterprises submit a complete set of import dossiers and “Notice of State Inspection Results on Imported Goods Quality” to the Customs Office for customs clearance of the shipment.
