- All non-originating materials used in the production of those goods have undergone a change in tariff classification (hereinafter referred to as “CTC”) at the four (4)-digit level (meaning a change of heading) of the Harmonized System.

2025: as reported by partner countries

Vietnam has not filed 2025 yet, so this is rebuilt from what its 16 largest trading partners reported about trade with Vietnam (85% of Vietnam's trade). Not the same measure as the figures above — compare it only with the 2023 row beside it.

Flow20232025Change
Exports2 mn USD37,593 USD-98%
Imports719 mn USD849 mn USD+18%
  • Exports 2023: partners reported 2 mn USD where Vietnam reported 2 mn USD — 0.81× on this measure.
  • Imports 2023: partners reported 719 mn USD where Vietnam reported 660 mn USD — 1.09× on this measure.

The gap is not a rounding difference: goods re-exported through Hong Kong or Singapore, a different heading chosen by the importing customs, and origin-based versus destination-based attribution all pull the two measures apart. Use the year-on-year change, not the level.

Corresponding US tariff lines

Six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention, so 0202.30 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 16 US lines under 0202.30.

  • 9903.05.84 +12.5%The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 12.5%

These are added to the General duty above, not in place of it. Whether a given article falls inside their scope — and the exclusion lists — is set out in the U.S. notes to Chapter 99, which are prose and not machine-readable, so this site does not assign them per code. Check the official schedule before quoting a landed cost.

The General column is the rate for Vietnam: the Special column lists US preference programmes (GSP, USMCA, KORUS…) and Vietnam is in none of them.

For reference only — classification on import is decided by US Customs, and anti-dumping, countervailing and Section 232/301 measures are not covered here.

Corresponding Japanese tariff lines

0202.30 is the same subheading in both schedules (six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention). Vietnamese goods can enter Japan under four parallel preference routes — the columns below — and the exporter picks whichever C/O gives the better rate.
