Continuing to strengthen its regulations of imports, Vietnam in December issued a new law mandating that manufacturers determine and label the place where goods imported to the country, including medical devices, originate, including where they are assembled, packed, and labeled.
Specifically, the decree mandates labels show the name and address of the legal manufacturer of a medical device, along with the name of the product. In addition, producers, exporters, and importers of goods are required to ensure that their product companies comply with the laws of Vietnam. The decree goes into effect on February 15.
