--- title: "Bagasse Tableware Export to Vietnam" date: 2026-08-05 author: "Sagar Agrawal" url: https://pulp-craft.com/export/vietnam/ --- [Home](https://pulp-craft.com/) / [Export](https://pulp-craft.com/export/) / Vietnam VN Exporting to Vietnam # Bagasse Tableware Supplier for Vietnam, Exported from India Pulpcraft exports compostable sugarcane bagasse tableware from India to Vietnamese importers, foodservice groups, hotels and packaging distributors. Vietnam is tightening the rules on single-use plastic on a fixed statutory timetable that runs from 2026 to 2031, and every step of that timetable pushes buyers towards certified compostable fibre. What Vietnamese importers ask for first is not price, it is a food-safety test file good enough to support a Decree 15 self-declaration. That is what we build every shipment around.

ISO and SGS certified Test reports for Decree 15 self-declaration AIFTA Form AI certificate of origin ### Vietnam export snapshot Destination ports**Cat Lai and Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Cai Mep** Typical sea transit**Roughly 12 to 14 days from Chennai, 2 to 3.5 weeks from Nhava Sheva** Trade framework**ASEAN India Trade in Goods Agreement (AIFTA)** Certificate of origin**Form AI** HS code**4823.70** Incoterms**FOB India, CFR or CIF Vietnam** Order options**LCL trial load or full FCL** Private label**Available** Market and regulation ## Vietnam has a dated statutory timetable, and it runs to 2031 Under the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 and Decree 08/2022, Vietnam set out a phased roadmap to restrict the production and import of single-use plastics, non-biodegradable plastic packaging and products containing microplastics. Hanoi has moved ahead of the national timetable for hotels and tourism. Because each milestone carves out biodegradable and eco-labelled products, the roadmap is effectively a scheduled transfer of demand from plastic disposables to compostable fibre. | When | Measure | What it means for buyers | | --- | --- | --- | | **1 January 2026** | National: production and import of non-biodegradable plastic bags under 50 x 50 cm and under 50 microns prohibited | The first hard national import restriction takes effect | | **1 January 2026** | Hanoi: hotels, resorts and tourist destinations may no longer use single-use plastic items such as toothbrushes, razors, cotton buds, shower caps and sachets | Hospitality procurement in the capital changes first | | **1 January 2028** | Markets and convenience stores must stop using single-use plastic items including non-biodegradable bags and foam food containers, unless eco-labelled | Foam food containers, the closest competitor to bagasse trays, lose retail distribution | | **1 January 2031** | Complete ban on production and import of single-use plastic products, non-biodegradable packaging and microplastic products, unless they carry the Vietnam eco-label or are destined for export | The end state: compliant material or nothing | ### What this means if you are sourcing - Bagasse is a compostable plant fibre, so it belongs to the class the roadmap protects rather than the class it phases out. - Watch the Vietnam eco-label. As the 2028 and 2031 milestones approach, the operative question shifts from “is it plastic” to “is it eco-labelled”, and that certification is obtained in Vietnam by the importer or brand owner. - Vietnam is itself an emerging bagasse production base, so you are not buying from India for lack of any local option. You are buying for documented compliance, specification consistency and access to sizes local lines may not run. - The foodservice sector is large and growing fast, which is what makes even a single-digit share of substitution demand worth serving properly. Duty and compliance ## Compliance, duty and documents for Vietnamese import | Item | Detail | | --- | --- | | **Customs classification** | HS 4823.70, moulded or pressed articles of paper pulp | | **Trade agreement** | The ASEAN India Trade in Goods Agreement, in force since 1 January 2010. Origin is established by a regional value content of 40 percent or a change in tariff subheading | | **Certificate of origin** | Form AI, issued in India, supplied by us with the consignment on request | | **Food-contact compliance** | Under Decree 15/2018/ND-CP, packaging and containers in direct contact with food require a product conformity self-declaration by the importer before import | | **Test report requirement** | The self-declaration dossier needs a food-safety test report issued within the previous 12 months by a designated or ISO 17025 compliant laboratory, with a notarised Vietnamese translation of foreign-language documents | | **Taxes at import** | Import duty per the applicable tariff plus VAT. Your customs broker confirms the current rates | The self-declaration is filed by the Vietnamese importer, not by us. Our job is to hand you a current, laboratory-issued food-safety test file and the ISO certification behind it so the dossier goes in complete the first time. Export logistics ## Shipping lanes into Vietnam Everything is manufactured at our plant in Kaimur, Bihar and exported to you. There is no local warehouse and no local agent margin: you buy factory-direct, which keeps pricing keen and quality traceable to a single production line. | Lane | From | To | Indicative transit | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **East coast** | Chennai | Cat Lai or Ho Chi Minh City | Roughly 12 to 14 days | Southern Vietnam, fastest regular lane | | **West coast** | Nhava Sheva or Mundra | Ho Chi Minh City | Roughly 2 to 3.5 weeks, transhipment dependent | Consolidation with other cargo | | **Northern Vietnam** | Chennai, Nhava Sheva or Mundra | Hai Phong | Longer, usually with a transhipment call | Hanoi and the northern industrial belt | | **Central Vietnam** | Indian west or east coast | Da Nang | Route and carrier dependent | Central region hospitality and resort supply | We confirm the load port, vessel and ETA on your proforma invoice. For a first order into Vietnam we usually recommend an LCL trial load so you can run the self-declaration and a shelf test before committing to full containers. ### Ports and transit Transit times shown are indicative and vary by carrier, season and transhipment. The exact load port, vessel and ETA are confirmed on your proforma invoice. ### Documentation Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, certificate of origin and SGS test reports, classified under HS 4823.70 for a clean clearance. ### Order flexibility Start with an LCL trial load or move straight to full container volume.

Certified manufacturing ## Standards, testing and the paperwork behind every shipment Our Indian manufacturing is backed by internationally recognised management systems and independent laboratory testing, so your compliance file starts on solid ground rather than with a supplier declaration. You can read more about the plant and its certifications on our [about page](https://pulp-craft.com/about-us/). ISO 9001 ISO 14001 ISO 45001 ISO 22000 SGS food-safety testing Sedex (SMETA) ### The document set that ships with your Vietnam consignment | Document | What it is for | | --- | --- | | **Commercial invoice and packing list** | Base clearance documents | | **Bill of lading** | Title and transport document | | **Form AI certificate of origin** | Supports AIFTA preferential tariff treatment | | **Laboratory food-safety test reports** | Feeds the Decree 15 self-declaration dossier your side files | | **ISO certificates** | ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 22000 from the manufacturing plant | | **Product and packing specification** | Sizes, unit weights, carton contents and case markings | Who we supply ## Who we supply in Vietnam The same range serves very different operations. If your use case is not listed, it is almost certainly still a fit, and our [industries served](https://pulp-craft.com/industries-served/) page covers the wider picture. ### Packaging importers and distributors Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi distributors building a compliant disposables range ahead of the 2028 and 2031 milestones. ### Hotels, resorts and tourism operators Properties in Hanoi and the coastal resort belt already inside the tourism single-use plastic restrictions. ### F&B and QSR chains Multi-outlet operators standardising one specification across every branch, in plate and bowl sizes that match existing menu formats. ### Delivery platforms and cloud kitchens Leak-resistant bowls and compartment trays for delivery volumes where foam containers are losing their retail route. ### Food processors and exporters Buyers who re-export finished product and need documented food-contact evidence for their own customers overseas. ### Event and industrial catering Factory canteens and event caterers moving high-volume service off plastic and foam. Positioning ## An honest read on sourcing from India Vietnam has domestic and regional bagasse capacity, and Chinese suppliers are strong on the import side. We are not going to claim India is the only place to buy this product, because it is not. What India offers a Vietnamese buyer is a genuinely independent second source with a complete compliance file, on a lane that is neither China nor a domestic supplier you may already be competing with for capacity. For importers who re-export, an India-origin supply line also changes the country-of-origin picture on their own shipments. India is one of the largest sugarcane producers in the world, which is what keeps bagasse fibre abundant and steadily priced. Pulpcraft moulds it under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 22000, with SGS food-safety testing on finished product, and sells factory-direct rather than through a trading layer.

The 2031 measure bans the production and import of single-use plastic products, non-biodegradable packaging and products containing microplastics, with carve-outs for eco-labelled products and goods destined for export. Bagasse is a compostable plant fibre rather than a plastic, so it sits on the compliant side. As the milestones approach, confirm the Vietnam eco-label position with your regulatory adviser, since that certification is obtained locally. What do I need for the Decree 15 self-declaration? The importer files a product conformity self-declaration before import, supported by a food-safety test report issued within the previous 12 months by a designated or ISO 17025 compliant laboratory, with foreign-language documents translated into Vietnamese and notarised. We supply current SGS food-safety test reports and our ISO 22000 certification so your dossier can be assembled without chasing the factory. How long does shipping from India to Vietnam take? Chennai to Ho Chi Minh City is typically around 12 to 14 days. From Nhava Sheva or Mundra it usually runs two to three and a half weeks depending on transhipment. Hai Phong in the north generally takes longer than the southern ports. We confirm the routing and ETA on the proforma invoice. Does bagasse tableware qualify for AIFTA preferential duty? India to Vietnam trade runs under the ASEAN India Trade in Goods Agreement, with origin established by a 40 percent regional value content or a change in tariff subheading. We supply the Form AI certificate of origin; your customs broker confirms the applicable rate for HS 4823.70 and the VAT position. Why buy from India when Vietnam has local bagasse producers? For most buyers it is about being second-sourced with a complete compliance file, getting sizes a local line may not run, and having an origin option that is neither domestic nor Chinese. If you re-export finished product, an India-origin input also affects the origin picture on your own shipments. Can you produce private label for a Vietnamese brand? Yes. We manufacture private-label bagasse tableware with custom embossing, sizes and packaging, including mixed-product container loads. What is the minimum order? We support LCL trial loads as well as full FCL containers. For a first Vietnam order we usually suggest an LCL trial so you can complete the self-declaration and run a shelf test before scaling up.
