Abstract

In order to ensure strict enforcement of the wildlife management laws, it is instructed to stop the import of living or dead wildlife, eggs, larvae, organs and derivatives of wildlife species (except for aquatic species serving the production and processing of food and animal feed that have been announced in accordance with the law; parts of wildlife that have been processed as medicinal herbs, used as raw materials for production or finished products) until there is a new direction from the Prime Minister or in special cases permitted by the Prime Minister. All cases of wildlife import in contradiction to this Directive must be strictly dealt as illegal activities in accordance with the law on wildlife; for wildlife, which has been granted export permit by a foreign CITES management agency to Vietnam, the border-gate customs office will request the commodity owner to return it to the place of export. In case the goods owner fails to do so or the goods owner cannot be identified, it shall be handled in accordance with Vietnamese law as illegal wildlife.
