When is the fee for renewing the use of barcodes due?
Pursuant to the provisions of Clause 2, Article 11, Decision 15/2006/QD-BKHCN:
The MSMV usage maintenance fee must be paid before June 30 every year. If this deadline is not met, the organization receiving the dossier will notify the organization/enterprise using MSMV to make the payment. If after one year the organization/enterprise using MSMV does not pay the usage maintenance fee, the General Department of Standards, Metrology and Quality will revoke the issued code, notify the organization/enterprise in use, and widely inform the relevant agencies.
In essence, the fee for extending the usage of the codes is defined as the MSMV usage maintenance fee, and the deadline for paying this fee is before June 30 every year.
The level of MSMV usage maintenance fee is specified in Clause 3, Article 4, Circular 232/2016/TT-BTC. To be specific: as follows:
| No | Type of Fee | Amount Collected (VND/year) |
| 1 | Use of GS1 enterprise code | |
| 1.1 | Use of 10-digit GS1 enterprise code (corresponding to the case where the enterprise is allowed to use 100 item numbers) | 500,000 |
| 1.2 | Use of 9-digit GS1 enterprise code (corresponding to the case where the enterprise is allowed to use 1,000 item numbers) | 800,000 |
| 1.3 | Use of 8-digit GS1 enterprise code (corresponding to the case where the enterprise is allowed to use 10,000 item numbers) | 1,500,000 |
| 1.4 | Use of 7-digit GS1 enterprise code (corresponding to the case where the enterprise is allowed to use 100,000 item numbers) | 2,000,000 |
| 2 | Use of Global Location Number (GLN) | 200,000 |
| 3 | Use of 8-digit Global Trade Item Code EAN-8 (GTIN-8) | 200,000 |
In the case where after 1 year your enterprise has not paid the maintenance fee, the General Department of Standards, Metrology and Quality will revoke the issued code. If you wish to continue using it, your enterprise must perform the procedures to reapply from the beginning.
Best regards!
