Agreements with no rule specific to this code

This code carries a preferential rate under the agreements below but has no line of its own in the product-specific rules annex. The goods must still meet an origin requirement.

ACFTAC/O EGeneral rule applies

The agreement sets a general rule for codes outside the annex:

1. The goods referred to in Clause 3, Article 5 of this Circular, other than the goods provided in Clause 2 of this Article, are considered originating if:

a) The goods have a regional value content (RVC) of not less than 40% of the FOB value calculated in accordance with Article 8 of this Circular and the last production process is carried out in a Member State; or

b) Goods of Chapters 25, 26, 28, 29, 31 and 39; Chapters 42 to 49; Chapters 57 to 59; Chapters 61, 62 and 64; Chapters 66 to 71; Chapters 73 to 83; Chapters 86 and 88; and Chapters 91 to 97 of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System using non-originating materials undergo a change in tariff classification at the 4-digit level (CTH), except for headings 29.01, 29.02, 31.05, 39.01, 39.02, 39.03, 39.07 and 39.08, to which the RVC 40% origin criterion applies.

VN_LAOC/O SGeneral rule applies

The agreement sets a general rule for codes outside the annex:

1. General origin criterion

a) Goods specified in Clause 2 of Article 2 shall be considered as originating in the Member State where the working or processing of those goods has taken place if:

- The goods have a regional value content (hereinafter referred to as the “Viet Nam - Laos value content” or the “regional value content (LVC)”) of not less than forty percent (40%), calculated in accordance with the formula provided in Article 5; or

- 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.

b) Each Member State shall allow the exporter of the goods to decide to use either of the two criteria “LVC of not less than forty percent (40%)” or “change in tariff classification at the four (04)-digit level” referred to at point a of Clause 1 in order to determine the origin of the goods.

Notes

1. Any reference in this Section to a particular genus or species of an animal, except where the context otherwise requires, includes a reference to the young of that genus or species.

2. Except where the context otherwise requires, throughout the Nomenclature any reference to “dried” products also covers products which have been dehydrated, evaporated or freeze-dried.

Notes for Chapter 05 Products of animal origin, not elsewhere specified or included

Notes

1. This Chapter does not cover:

(a) Edible products (other than guts, bladders and stomachs of animals, whole and pieces thereof, and animal blood, liquid or dried);

(b) Hides or skins (including furskins) other than goods of heading 05.05 and parings and similar waste of raw hides or skins of heading 05.11 (Chapter 41 or 43);

4. Throughout the Nomenclature, the expression “horsehair” means hair of the manes or tails of equine or bovine animals. Heading 05.11 covers, inter alia, horsehair and horsehair waste, whether or not put up as a layer with or without supporting material.

Vietnam trade in subheading 0511.99

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
Exports45 mn USD21 mn USD-54%
Imports13 mn USD33 mn USD+153%
  • Exports 2023: partners reported 45 mn USD where Vietnam reported 410,458 USD — 109.66× on this measure.
  • Imports 2023: partners reported 13 mn USD where Vietnam reported 41 mn USD — 0.32× 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 0511.99 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 10 US lines under 0511.99.

  • 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.

Selling to a US buyer? Screen the parties first — buyer, L/C bank and forwarder against the US restricted lists; a listed party can get the shipment held.

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

0511.99 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.
