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 | 247 mn USD | 292 mn USD | +18% |
| Imports | 112 mn USD | 152 mn USD | +36% |
- Exports 2023: partners reported 247 mn USD where Vietnam reported 302 mn USD — 0.82× on this measure.
- Imports 2023: partners reported 112 mn USD where Vietnam reported 101 mn USD — 1.11× 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 1905.90 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 9 US lines under 1905.90.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |

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.

Corresponding Japanese tariff lines
1905.90 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.

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.
