How Could I Obtain Faster Market Access?
According to the new regulation, the threshold of accessing Vietnam market becomes higher. Every foreign manufacturer would like to have their product access Vietnam market immediately. The good news is that IMDA offers TWO routes of faster market access to shorten the registration timeline.
The product has been registered in one of the following countries: Japan, Canada, Australia, United States, EU member countries, Switzerland, England, China, and Korea.
The medical device has been granted import licenses, registration numbers, or certificates of registration in commercial form in Vietnam, unless the certificate is revoked.
