I. Definitions
1. Border trade
- Border trade, in general, refers to the flow of goods and services across the
international borders between jurisdictions. In this sense, it is a part of normal legal
trade that flows through standard export/import frameworks of nations. However
border trade specifically refers to the increase in trade in areas where crossing
borders is relatively easy and where products are significantly cheaper in one place
than another, often because of significant variations in taxation levels on goods.
- For example: a company in the US selling goods to a company in Canada; a
Chinese merchant buying dragon fruits from Vietnamese farmers;...
2. Official trade
- Official trade means there are trading contract between firms of two
nations. In most cases, official trade are agreements between nations, or between a
nation and an International economic association/ organization, following
international regulations.
- For example: The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for TransPacific Partnership (CPTPP), also known as TPP11 or TPP-11, a trade agreement
between Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand,
Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam
II. Comparing Border and Official trade
1. Similar points of the two methods of exporting
- Goods being exported through both border trade and official trade have to
be checked thoroughly by appropriate authorities before being gotten out of the
country

- Goods exported both ways have to bare tariffs, although the level of tariffs
are not the same

3. Conclusion
- To many trading companies, border trade is usually the very first choice,
since they have to bare lower level of tariff and costs, simple procedure. Border
exporting required no bills, payment documents nor foreign trading contracts.
However, border export is not stable and each deal worths pretty small value.
- Moreover, to export goods to many different countries all over the word
and broaden our market, this method of border trading cannot guarantee a firm’s
safety. As a result, most big and international deals are carried out by official trading

method.

II. Characteristics and requirements of China's market with imported watermelons
1. The production and consumption of watermelons in China
According to information from the Department of Industry and Trade, in
China, watermelon is one of people's favorite fruits.
Watermelons in China are planted in 2 main regions: Yang Zi - Hua Dong
River Delta (including Shanghai, Jiang Su, Zhe Jiang, Shan Dong, An Hui,
JiangXi, Fu Jian) and south central provinces (Henan, Hu Bei, Guang Xi, Guang
Dong, Hainan). The total watermelon production area of these 2 regions
combined accounts for up to10% of the country's total vegetable planting area,
as reported by the China Ministry of Agriculture, and is increasing in recent
years, reaching 1.84 million hectares in 2015. During the 2015-2020 phase, each
year China will expand its watermelon planting area by 1% (approx. 2.2 million
hectares), with the plan is to reduce small production and expand mass
production area to boost productivity as well as production volume.
In terms of production volume, along with the increasing of planting area,

watermelon production has also been rising considerably, with a growth from 72
million tons in 2013 to 77.5 million tons in 2016, making China rank top on the
world’s list.
As the planting area is distributed across the country, the crops in China
last for about four months from April to August or September, starting from
Hainan and then followed by Guang Xi, Zhe Jiang, Jiang Su,... Therefore, China
tends to increase watermelon import from November to April of the year
afterwards.
With regards to demand and preference, watermelons receive the largest
demand before, during and after Lunar New Year holidays. Chinese consumers
7


prefer medium-size watermelons with the average weight of about 3-4 kilograms
per melon.
2. Watermelon import situation of China
In general, it can be clearly observed that there has been a downward
pattern of watermelon import into China's market. According to the statistics of
China Customs, in 2016, China imported 201.400 tons with a turnover of 32.2
million USD; increased in quantity but decreased in turnover. On average, the
price of customs declaration when importing in 2016 was 160.5 USD/ton,
decreased by about 26 USD/ton (15%) compared to 2015. In 2017, China
imported 188.320 tons with a turnover of 31.86 million USD, declined by 7,78%
in quantity and 2,81% in turnover.
Watermelon imported from Vietnam accounts for 94% about 97% of
China's import value from the world. However, there is a large number of import
Myanmar, Laos and Thailand through border trade, which is not included in the
official statistics.
III. Vietnam's watermelon export to China
1. The supply chain and situation of Vietnam's watermelon export to China

In 2016, watermelon export reached 238.363 tons with a turnover of 106.32
million USD, which was an increase of 651.1% in quantity and 543.1% in
turnover of 2015, as reported by Vietnam Customs. During the time span
between 2014-2018, according to Trademap.org, China imported an average
quantity of 196.777 tons of watermelon per year from Vietnam with an average
turnover of about 36 million USD/year.

8


Vietnam watermelon prices are generally quite competitive compared to
other countries: ~ 190 USD/ton in 2014,2015,2018 and 161-169 USD/ton in
2016,2017.

2. Competition
Vietnam has a favorable geographical position to exchange and export
agricultural products to China. . Regarding import border, currently watermelons of
Vietnam are mainly exported through Tan Thanh - Po Chai border gate into China
and are often carried out import procedures in the form of trading products of
border residents. gender and are exempt from import duties. Other major import
border gates are Lao Cai - Ha Khau and Mong Cai - Dong Hung.
Regarding competitors, according to Trademap.org, Vietnam currently
occupies the monopoly on exporting watermelon to China with 99.1%. The two
biggest rivals, Myanmar and Malaysia, only account for less than 1% of the market.
However, Vietnam's watermelon export into China is still facing with many
competitive challenges. As stated above, China is reducing small domestic
production of watermelon into large-scale production in order to boost productivity
and production volume. During the 2015-2020 phase, each year China will expand
its watermelon planting area by 1% (approx. 2.2 million hectares). Since 2016,
Chinese farmers have tended to plant off-season watermelon in large area
simultaneously, targeting domestic market before and after Lunar New Year
holidays. As a consequence, the watermelon supplies have risen considerably in
recent years. Also, the price of this kind of fruits in China decreased sharply in
January and late February 2017. Moreover, certain amount of watermelon imported
from Laos and Myanmar is also competing with Vietnam's product as they have the
similar havesting time to the southern of Vietnam but offer a relatively lower price.
Exporting watermelons to China is of special interest to the Ministry of
Industry and Trade of Vietnam. The Ministry of Industry and Trade regularly
provides timely supports and recommendations to farmers about how to cultivate

and export watermelons to China to meet their required standards.

II. Non-tariff measures (NTMs)
− Official policy measures on export and import, other than ordinary customs
tariffs, than can potentially have an effect on international trade in goods,
changing quantities traded, or prices or both.
− Mandatory requirements, rules or regulations legally set by the government
of the exporting, importing or transit country (in contrast to private standards
which are not legally set)
− Can affect both export and import

2. Some China’s SPS imposed on Vietnam’s exporting watermelon
Watermelon is one of the few items of fruit in the group of traditional
exchange/trade items of border residents between the two countries, so China allow
to import it without signing the protocol on imported plant quarantine. However, the
imported watermelon in China must meet the following test and quarantine
requirements:
- Shipments of agricultural products, fruit being imported into China required
Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine by exporting country management
agency follow the form given and under the agreement with the Chinese side.
- For imports of animal, plants and their products that are in the catalogue,
quarantine approval from AQSIQ shall be applied before import can take place.
- No plant residues such as pest, soil, branch branches, leaves that China
bans entry
- The amount of harmful substances detected should not exceed the relevant
safety and health standards of China
- Watermelon from Vietnam no longer allowed to be sent in straw-lined
cartons as of May 2019

16


3. Some China’s TBT imposed on Vietnam’s exporting watermelon
- Imported fruit must be wrapped, on which clearly state the product name,
address, quantity, weight, garden profile number (denoted), workshop registration
number, packaging facility, the official quarantine release in Chinese, and check
whether the product satisfies all the appropriate Quarantine request.

- Imported fruits are not used plants such as leaves, fruits, straw,... As liner
material. Stems are not allowed to exceed 15 cm.
- Do not mix or contain other fruits that are not recorded in probate/plant
Quarantine Certificate
- Export watermelon is packed in carton, weight normally 10-15kg/carton,
glued adhesive tape outside the barrel before packing.
III. Rules of Origins (ROO)
1. What is ROO?
* Definition:
- The ”Economic nationality” of goods in international trade (customs origin)
* Purpose:
- Define one and only one origin to each and every product, which makes it
easier for the importing countries to manage the product’s quality.

17


- Make FTA possible: for those countries have signed or included in an
Association has signed an FTA with the importing country, ROO proves their
national identity to help businesses receive the lowest tariff rate (stated in the FTA)
 
2. Origin criteria of fresh watermelon (HS code: 0807.11)
- Change in Tariff Classification (CTC), change at first 2 digits of HS code
(CC) - The originating status is conferred to a good that is classified in a different
HS chapter than the non-originating inputs.
- CC’s occurrence was about 7%, among all 500,000 FTA x HS6
combinations (as of Oct 12, 2018)
Example: XXxx.xx.xxx
HS code of Melon seed is 1207.70. When melon seed is planted and
watermelon is harvested, its HS code is 0807.11. Therefore, the product is re-listed,

from Chapter 12 to Chapter 08.
1.3. Some latest ROO requirements for fresh watermelon product by China
imposing on Vietnam
- From May 5/2018, China has strengthened the management, traceability of
imported fruit in general and watermelon in particular through regulations requiring
importers of China proceed Register sample traceability labels in Chinese customs
authorities and stamped on the product labels, packaging imported fruit.
Information on the label includes information about the garden, packing facilities ...
Importing management agencies must notice the Chinese official about the list
gardens, packaged enterprise. These are not new rules, but they were not strictly
implemented previously. But now, facing the needs of the consumer, they have been
noted and implemented more seriously.

D. Export procedure and required documents
I. How to export watermelon to China
1. Negotiation and export contract signing
- Watermelon export contract is used for the sale of watermelon of
Vietnamese sellers to Chinese buyers in order to deliver watermelon to China and
transfer the ownership to buyers.
- The sellers can export directly or consign to other unit (specializing in
exporting) to carry out exports.
- To sign a watermelon export contract, the contract subjects on Vietnamese
side (sellers) are traders, including legal entities (legally established economic

organizations) or individuals who engage in trading activities independently,
regularly and have certificate of business registration. Contract subject on the
Chinese side (the purchasers) are Chinese organizations and individuals have legal
capacity and civil act capacity.
* Main contents of watermelon export contract include:
- Introduction: contract number, location, information of seller and buyer,
definitions, terminologies, the basis of contract signing, agreements between the
parties.
- Terms and provisions of the contract:
+ Commodity: name of product (watermelon), quality, quantity,
packaging
+ Financial condition: price, payment (currency, term, method)

20


+ Transport conditions: time, place of delivery, number of delivery,
method of delivery, transport facilities
+ Insurance, guarantee: who is insurance buyers, insurance conditions
+ Legal articles: complaints, arbitration, case of force majeure

- The end:
+ Contract number and the number of contracts kept by each side
+ Contract language
+ Term of contract
+ Provisions on amendments

2. Preparation of payment conditions
- After signing contracts, export enterprises proceed the early stages of
payment process. For each method of payment, these tasks will be different from

each other.
3. Preparation of goods for export
- The quantity, quality, package and preservation need to completely meet the
specified conditions of conduct:
+ Prepare labor, tools and means of delivering transport after harvest,
warehouses. Gather products to processing, pack and set stations of
purchase.
+ Remind to households and farmers the importance of the harvest: not
to bruise or damage, select watermelon with good standards to sell to
China.

- Due to the characteristic of fresh fruits (not allowed to be kept in long time),
watermelon should be gathered and packed during the day in order to put in cold
storage or cold containers. So must choose packing team who have good health,
know how to pack professionally.
21


- For manufacturing/planting watermelon units: if do not want or cannot export
directly, they can consign to other export units.
- For specialized export units: need to exploit export sources by forms such as
purchasing according to plans and orders, investing directly to plant watermelon,
ordering, changing goods,... After signing contract, the unit will receive goods for
exporting. Packaging, export symbols,… are fit with the provisions of contract
signed by customers.
4. Checking
- Before delivery, exporters need to check the goods on quantity, weight,
quality (test) and potential for disease spread (quarantine). This investigation was
conducted both in the units and at the border (to verify again test results in units).
- The testing in the units is conducted by product quality inspection department

but the head of the unit is still the person who is mainly responsible for the
products’ quality.
- In case of the State’s regulations or purchasers’ requirements, we need to
invite independent supervisory unit.
- Process of goods inspection:
+ Step 1: Submit inspection request form, contracts
+ Step 2: Inspection officer checks the products, analyses sample at the
laboratory
+ Step 3: Inspection officer announces the result and issues temporary
certificate for customs formalities (if required)
+ Step 4: Check warehouse hygiene
+ Step 5: Supervise shipping process
+ Step 6: Inspection officer issues official certificate
22


5. Customs procedure

6. Delivery
- The watermelon export of Vietnam to China is mainly by road, deliveried

by containers. The hiring means of transport can be conducted by sellers (export
units) or purchasers (import units).
- The sellers will have to hire means of delivering transport if contracts
