2.3. The decision ratifying the investment project (notarized copy).

2.4. The business registration permit (notarized Copy)

Z and I (with the calculating unit being US$) are from the same source.

- The localization rate shall be calculated separately for each kind of products, not collectively for the whole company.

- Enterprises shall have to take responsibility before law for the accuracy and reliability calculation figures and registered localization rate and shall be subject to the inspection and supervision by State bodies and auditing agencies.

4. Regarding the organization implementation:

- The registration for certification of the manufacturing technology capability and level shall be made only once. In cases where new investment is made for production expansion or change of products, the concerned enterprises shall have to make additional reports.

- The registration for certification of the localization rate shall be made annually at the beginning of the year or the end of the preceding year, depending on the enterprise’s production plan, and shall be supplemented and readjusted once in the second half of the year.

- A registration dossier shall be made in 3 sets and sent to the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry shall authorize the Department for Technology and Product Quality Management to concretely examine and consider dossiers and issue written certification notices within 15 days after receiving the complete dossiers.

Any difficulties or problems arising in the course of implementation of this Circular shall be reported by the concealed enterprises to the Ministry of Industry for timely study and appropriate solutions.
