Vietnam Tariffs 2026

Vietnamese goods pay MFN duty plus the forced-labor Section 301 tariff at 12.5% — Vietnam is in the 12.5% tier of the 60 economies covered since 24 July 2026. Section 232 goods (steel, aluminum, copper, autos) pay that instead of the 12.5%. Vietnam pays no China-style Section 301 list duties. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties apply to specific products such as shrimp.

Yes, three times. A 46% IEEPA 'reciprocal' rate announced in April 2025 was cut to a 10% baseline. The Supreme Court struck the IEEPA tariffs down on 20 February 2026 and a flat 10% Section 122 surcharge replaced them until it expired on 24 July 2026. Since then Vietnam pays the 12.5% forced-labor Section 301 tariff — 2.5 points more than India, Indonesia or Malaysia.

1. Identify your 10-digit HTS code. 2. Look up the MFN (column 1, general) rate in the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule. 3. Check if your product is under an active ADD/CVD order (use the US ITC ADCVD portal). 4. Multiply declared customs value × duty rate. 5. Add Merchandise Processing Fee (0.3464%, min $34.58 / max $670.86) and Harbor Maintenance Fee (0.125% on ocean freight). Use the calculator above for an instant result.

No. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) would have created preferential rates, but the US withdrew in 2017. Vietnam has FTAs with the EU (EVFTA), ASEAN members, Japan, and South Korea — but US imports from Vietnam pay standard MFN rates unless covered by the IT Agreement (electronics) or other product-specific agreements.

There is none. The US $800 de minimis exemption is suspended for goods from every country (since 29 August 2025), so every shipment from Vietnam owes duty. A $50 order of cotton T-shirts pays 29% ($14.50). Shipments up to $2,500 can clear on an informal entry with a flat $2.77 processing fee.
