Is notarization required for an import entrustment contract?

According to Clause 5 Article 1 of Circular 39/2018/TT-BTC regulating the import dossier with an Entrusted Contract: 01 photocopy in case of entrusting the import of goods that are subject to import licenses, specialized inspection certificates, or documents proving that the organization or individual is eligible to import goods in accordance with the law on investment, specialized management and inspection law, foreign trade management law, where the entrusted receiver utilizes the license or certification of the entrusting party.

Therefore, when you import motorcycles as the entrusted receiver, you must have an entrusted contract in the customs dossier.

Based on Article 159 of the Commercial Law 2005: The purchase and sale of goods entrusted contract must be made in writing or in another form with equivalent legal value.

Thus, the import entrusted contract must be made in writing or in another form with equivalent legal value.

Therefore, the import entrusted contract can be notarized according to the agreement of the parties in the contract.

Sincerely!
