Vietnam Import Duties Overview: Vietnam operates a comprehensive import tariff system based on the Harmonized System (HS), distinguishing between Ordinary, Most Favored Nation (MFN), and Preferential rates derived from Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). Duties are generally calculated on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value of the goods. In addition to standard tariffs, importers must account for internal taxes such as Value Added Tax (VAT) and Special Consumption Tax (SCT) for specific commodities.
| Duty/Tax Type Name | Standard Rate or Rate Range |
|---|---|
| Import Duty (Ad Valorem) | 0% - 135% (Dependent on HS Code) |
| Special Consumption Tax (Excise) | 10% - 150% (Luxury/Sin goods) |
| Value Added Tax (VAT) | 5%, 8%, or 10% |
| Antidumping / Safeguard | Case-specific (up to high percentages) |
| Specific / Compound Duties | Applied primarily to used vehicles |
| Section 301 / MPF / HMF | N/A (US-Specific Import Fees) |
Key Duty Types:
- Ad Valorem Duty: The standard import duty calculated as a percentage of the CIF value. Rates are significantly lower if a valid Certificate of Origin is provided under an FTA (e.g., ATIGA, EVFTA).
- Special Consumption Tax (Excise): An indirect tax levied on luxury items (automobiles, airplanes) and health-impacting goods (alcohol, tobacco). This is calculated on the import price plus the import duty.
- Antidumping Duties: Temporary additional tariffs imposed on specific goods from certain countries to prevent foreign products from being sold below fair market value in Vietnam.
- Specific and Compound Duties: While most duties are ad valorem, specific (flat fee) or compound (flat fee plus percentage) duties are applied to niche categories like used passenger vehicles.
- US-Specific Fees (Section 301, MPF, HMF): These are strictly United States import fees and do not apply to goods entering Vietnam.
