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
Exports21 mn USD18 mn USD-14%
Imports2 mn USD1 mn USD-20%
  • Exports 2023: partners reported 21 mn USD where Vietnam reported 44 mn USD — 0.48× on this measure.
  • Imports 2023: partners reported 2 mn USD where Vietnam reported 4 mn USD — 0.37× 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 6802.21 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 2 US lines under 6802.21.

US HTS codeDescriptionGeneral duty
6802.21.10.00Other monumental or building stone and articles thereof, simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface › Marble, travertine and alabaster › Travertine(t)4.2%
6802.21.50.00Other monumental or building stone and articles thereof, simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface › Marble, travertine and alabaster › Other(t)1.9%

Additional Chapter 99 duties apply to goods of Vietnam

  • 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.

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.
