Pursuant to the Government’s Decree No. 12/2006/ND-CP of January 23, 2006, detailing the implementation of the Commercial Law regarding international goods purchase and sale and goods purchase and sale agency, processing and transit with foreign countries, The Culture and Information Ministry hereby guides the import and export of goods subject to specialized management by the Culture and Information Ministry specified in Appendix No. 1 (Clauses 2 and 3, Section I and Clause 4, Section II) and Appendix No. 03 (Section V) to Decree No. 12/2006/ND-CP as follows:

2. The import and export of specialized culture and information goods not for commercial purposes (non-commercial goods) shall comply with the Government’s Decree No. 88/2002/ND-CP of November 7, 2002, on management of import and export of cultural products not for commercial purposes.

Therefore, the determination of whether specialized culture and information goods with the same HS code (books, newspapers, films, tapes, disks, fine-art works, relics, antiques, etc.) are permitted for or banned from import or export must be based on the verification of contents or ownership over such goods.
4.2.

4.3. Principles of HS code application:
+ The list of goods subject to the specialized culture and information management shall be given the same HS codes as those specified in the List of Imports and Exports and the Preferential Import Tariff (if such goods have their HS codes).
+ The application of HS codes for determining whether the goods are banned from or permitted for import or export should be based on specific provisions of this Circular.
