One of the biggest challenges today is the difficulties in the procedures for issuing health certificates (HC). The transfer of the authority to issue HC from the Food Safety Department to specialized agencies under the Provincial People's Committee according to Decree 148/2025 is causing stagnation, affecting the export activities of many businesses.

This situation has caused many shipments to be stuck, with the risk of having to turn back or incurring large costs at the port of arrival. VPSA has had to urgently petition the Ministry of Health to resolve these problems, ensuring smooth export activities. If this issue is not resolved promptly, it could negatively affect Vietnam's reputation and export volume in the short term.
