Gypsum board is a product containing a non-combustible gypsum core (CaSO4.2H2O content is greater than 70%), the surface has a paper layer that is firmly adhered to the core. Gypsum board is a familiar building material used to make ceilings and walls with the characteristics of fast, dry, heat and sound insulation.
Fiber-reinforced plasterboard is a product whose main component is gypsum and fiber reinforcement that is dispersed throughout the product.
In order to properly determine import policies and procedures, it is necessary to first determine the HS code of the item.

Certificate of Origin (if any)
Enterprises need to conduct conformity announcement of Gypsum board and gypsum board with fiber reinforcement – According to QCVN 16:2019/BXD Circular No. 19/2019/TT-BXD dated December 31, 2019
Thus, the registration process for quality inspection of Gypsum board and Fiber-reinforced gypsum board used for tiling in construction is as follows:
STEP 2. PROCEDURES FOR REGISTRATION FOR QUALITY INSPECTION OF PLASTIC PANEL AND FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC PANEL
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, gypsum board and gypsum board with fiber reinforcement, from production to delivery to the buyer/consumer, have to go through many stages (transportation, delivery, preservation, etc.) …), 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 gypsum board and gypsum panel with fiber reinforcement, it will be tested according to 4 basic criteria:
Bending strength
Moisture deformation
Water absorption (only applicable to moisture-resistant substrates; exterior cladding; roof construction)
Volatile sulfur compounds (Orthorhombic cyclooctasulfur – S8), ppm, not more 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.
