Decree on banning the importation of used cars

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has issued a decree banning the importation of used cars, carriers, special purpose vehicles and ambulances over five years old effective from February 20.

Under the new regulation, vehicle importers are also prohibited from importing vehicles with steering wheels on the right side, except for special purpose vehicles such as cranes, canal diggers, street cleaning trucks, water trucks, waste trucks, airport passenger buses, lift trucks and golf carts.

Used 16-seat cars will continue to be permitted to be brought into the country through international ports, including Haiphong, Cai Lan (in northern Quang Ninh Province), Danang (in the central region), HCM City and Ba Ria-Vung Tau (in the south).
