Vietnam: How to declare CAS code on import declaration system? What substances must be declared on the list of chemicals?
What is the CAS code for chemicals according to Vietnamese regulations?
The CAS registration number is the identification by serial number of unique identifiers for chemical elements, chemical compounds, polymers, biological chains, mixtures and alloys. They are also referred to as CAS numbers or CAS RNs.
The CAS registration number is separated by dashes into three parts, the first part can contain up to 6 digits, the second part contains 2 digits, and the third part contains a unique number as the check digit. Numbers are assigned in ascending order and they do not have any intrinsic meaning. The check digit is calculated according to the following rule:
Reading in the right-to-left direction, their weights increase in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Take the sum of the product of the numbers corresponding to its weights, then take the remainder in division by 10. For example, the CAS number of the country is 7732-18-5, since the check digit is calculated as follows (8 (8). ×1 + 1x2 + 2x3 + 3x4 + 7x5 + 7x6) mod 10 = 105 mod 10 = 5 (mod is a remainder calculation).
