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.
| 2023 | 2024 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exports | 22 mn USD | 19 mn USD | -13% |
| Imports | 3 mn USD | 3 mn USD | +14% |
- Exports 2023: partners reported 22 mn USD where Vietnam reported 13 mn USD — 1.75× on this measure.
- Imports 2023: partners reported 3 mn USD where Vietnam reported 3 mn USD — 1.05× 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 2308.00 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 5 US lines under 2308.00.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |
|---|---|---|
| 2308.00.10.00 | Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, vegetable residues and byproducts, whether or not in the form of pellets, of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included › Acorns and horse-chestnuts(kg) | 1.4% |
| 2308.00.93.00 | Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, vegetable residues and byproducts, whether or not in the form of pellets, of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included › Screenings, scalpings, chaff or scourings, ground, or not ground, of flaxseed (linseed)(kg) | Free |
| 2308.00.95.00 | Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, vegetable residues and byproducts, whether or not in the form of pellets, of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included › Dehydrated marigolds(kg) | 1.9% |
| 2308.00.98.20 | Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, vegetable residues and byproducts, whether or not in the form of pellets, of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included › Other › Citrus pulp pellets(t) | 1.4% |

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.
