WHAT IS CONCRETE BRICK?
Concrete brick is a fairly common material, made up of cement, sand, small crushed stone and some other construction additives. Unlike traditional products, concrete bricks are created by the process of hydraulic pressing, or static pressing, which causes the raw material particles to be compacted and bonded together in the steel mold into shaped products. template.
In order to properly determine import policies and procedures, it is necessary to first determine the HS code of the item.

PROCEDURES FOR IMPORTING CONCRETE BRICKS
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)
STEP 2. REGISTER TO CHECK THE QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION Brick
Current regulations/legal basis
Enterprises need to announce the conformity of concrete bricks – According to QCVN 16:2019/BXD Circular No. 19/2019/TT-BXD dated December 31, 2019
The registration process for quality inspection of concrete bricks used for paving in construction is as follows:

STEP 3: NOTICE TO CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN TESTING SAMPLES
Concrete bricks will be tested and tested according to 3 basic criteria:
Compressive strength
Water permeability
Water absorption
TRADE INSPECTION
