Pulse Oximeter Import Procedures – HS Codes, Duties, and Customs Clearance Process
A pulse oximeter, also known as a blood oxygen saturation monitor or SpO2 monitor, is a device used to measure peripheral oxygen saturation in the blood and usually also displays pulse rate. These devices are commonly used at home, in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. In Vietnam, pulse oximeters are regulated as medical devices, so importers should carefully review medical device classification, circulation documentation, HS classification, tax obligations, and labeling requirements before shipment.
