#20 Certificate of Free Sale (CFS): The process of applying for a Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) for type B medical devices

Hello dear listeners, welcome back to The Lawyers Talk channel of BLawyers Vietnam. My name is Huynh Ngoc Uyen Chi, and nice to see everyone on today's Podcast. Today, I will join our esteemed listeners in exploring the process of applying for a Certificate of Free Sale for type B medical devices.
