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.

20232024Change
Exports732 mn USD748 mn USD+2%
Imports61 mn USD59 mn USD-4%
  • Exports 2023: partners reported 732 mn USD where Vietnam reported 549 mn USD — 1.33× on this measure.
  • Imports 2023: partners reported 61 mn USD where Vietnam reported 7 mn USD — 8.23× 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 6505.00 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 37 US lines under 6505.00.

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.
