The objective of the NTR is to regulate the quarantine requirements of imported plants. The draft NTR sets a zero tolerance on all quarantine pests regulated under Circular 35/2014/TT-BNNPTNT issued in 2014. Vietnam has notified these measures to the WTO as VNM112, allowing trading partners and stakeholders to comment before May 17, 2020.
