Article 5 of Circular 04/2010/TT-BCT stipulates: "C/O applicants may be considered for C/O issuance at places where they have registered trader dossiers only after they have completed trader dossier registration procedures." A trader dossier comprises:

• Registration of the specimen signature of the person authorized to sign the C/O application and the specimen seal of the trader (Annex 9, not printed herein);

• Business registration certificate of the trader (a certified true copy);

• Tax identification number registration certificate (a certified true copy);

• A list of production establishments (if any) of the trader (Annex 8, not printed herein).

Before C/O application, any change in the trader dossier shall be notified to the C/O issuer with which this dossier has been registered. A trader dossier shall be updated once every two (2) years.

In case of a force majeure circumstance or for a plausible reason, if wishing to get a C/O issued by another C/O issuer in a locality other than that where it has registered its trader dossier, a C/O applicant shall provide plausible reasons in writing for the non-application for a C/O in the locality where it has registered its trader dossier, and register its trader dossier with the new C/O issuer.

More details can be found in Circular 04/2010/TT-BCT, which comes into force from March 5, 2010.
