The agreement sets a general rule for codes outside the annex:
1. Products referred to in Clause 2, Article 2 are considered originating if:
a) The AIFTA content is not less than thirty-five per cent (35%) of the FOB value; and

Vietnam trade in subheading 1210.20

2024: as reported by partner countries
Vietnam has not filed 2024 yet, so this is rebuilt from what its 19 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.
| Flow | 2023 | 2024 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exports | 17,192 USD | 12,561 USD | -27% |
| Imports | 6 mn USD | 4 mn USD | -30% |
- Exports 2023: partners reported 17,192 USD where Vietnam reported 14,575 USD — 1.18× on this measure.
- Imports 2023: partners reported 6 mn USD where Vietnam reported 6 mn USD — 0.92× 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 1210.20 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 2 US lines under 1210.20.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |
|---|---|---|
| 1210.20.00.20 | Hop cones, ground, powdered or in the form of pellets; lupulin › Hop cone pellets(kg) | 13.2¢/kg |
| 1210.20.00.40 | Hop cones, ground, powdered or in the form of pellets; lupulin › Other(kg) | 13.2¢/kg |
Additional Chapter 99 duties apply to goods of Vietnam
- 9903.02.69 +20% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 20%
- 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.
Already terminated: 9903.01.72 +46%
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. Source: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States — 2026 HTS Revision 13. 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
1210.20 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.
| Line | Description | MFN | VJEPA | AJCEP | CPTPP | RCEP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1210.20 | Hop cones, ground, powdered or in the form of pellets; lupulin | 5% | — | — | — | — |
MFN is the lowest of the schedule's General/Temporary/WTO columns (hover to see all three). The preference columns require the matching certificate of origin; an em dash means that agreement gives no preference for the line. Source: Japan's Tariff Schedule, Japan Customs (as of July 9, 2026). For reference only — classification on import is decided by Japan Customs.
