Vietnam USA Tariff Update

Latest Tariff Updates Between the USA & Vietnam

Most Recent Update: March 17, 2026

Temporary U.S. Import Surcharge Now Applies (10% for 150 days)
Vietnam → U.S.

What This Means
The U.S. has imposed a temporary 10% ad valorem import duty for 150 days under Section 122 authority. This can add a broad, across-the-board layer on top of normal MFN duties and any product-specific measures that already apply.

Why It Matters
Even if your Vietnam duty rate was predictable before, this temporary layer can change landed cost quickly across many SKUs and can break quotes that only budgeted for MFN duty and freight.

How Importivity Helps
We update your landed-cost model to reflect the duty stack (MFN + surcharge + any product-specific measures), then flag which SKUs need price updates, re-quoting, or reorder timing changes before you place the next PO.

What This Means
Recent reporting indicates tariffs on most Vietnamese goods have been set around 20%, with plans tied to a trade arrangement that would remove duties on certain products.

Why It Matters
If your SKU falls into the “most goods” bucket, the difference between MFN-only and a country-level 20% layer is massive. It changes supplier selection, incoterms, and whether Vietnam still wins on total landed cost.

How Importivity Helps
We run side-by-side country comparisons (Vietnam vs Mexico vs other options) using your exact product specs, packaging state, and shipping profile, then recommend the lowest-risk path for compliance and cost.

What This Means
U.S. policy signals and reporting indicate a 40% tariff exposure for goods deemed illegally transshipped, though criteria and enforcement details may evolve.

Why It Matters
If any part of your supply chain could be perceived as “origin washing” (for example, insufficient transformation in Vietnam), you face outsized duty exposure plus delays, exams, or seizures depending on the fact pattern.

How Importivity Helps
We harden your origin story: factory documentation, transformation rationale, BOM mapping, process flow, and broker-ready support so your compliance posture matches how CBP evaluates origin and circumvention risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our team!

Why should I work with a sourcing agent in Vietnam?

A sourcing agent in Vietnam connects U.S. companies directly to vetted factories, helping you cut costs, avoid tariffs, and reduce risk. With Importivity’s full-time team based in Ho Chi Minh City, we manage factory sourcing, negotiations, inspections, compliance, logistics, and customs—so your supply chain is seamless from start to finish.

Vietnam excels in textiles and apparel, plastics manufacturing, metal fabrication, and electronics assembly. It’s also a rising hub for consumer goods and packaged foods. For U.S. companies, Vietnam offers lower labor costs and tariff advantages compared to China, making it a powerful choice for industries where margins are tight.

As of September 2025, Vietnamese exports to the U.S. face a 20% reciprocal tariff, with a 40% tariff applied to goods suspected of Chinese transshipment. However, Vietnam remains attractive because its costs are still significantly lower than China’s, and many U.S. companies use Importivity to structure deals that stay tariff-compliant.

Yes. Over the past decade, Vietnam has become one of the most reliable factory sourcing agency hubs in Asia. With strong foreign investment, industrial park development, and compliance improvements, Vietnam offers stability and scalability. Importivity strengthens this reliability by conducting multi-stage QA inspections and supplier vetting before you commit.

While Vietnam is strong in labor-intensive and mid-tech industries, challenges include longer lead times compared to Mexico, and imported raw materials that can raise costs. Language barriers and fragmented supply chains also exist. With Importivity as your sourcing partner, you avoid these pitfalls and gain access to trusted, pre-qualified suppliers.

Absolutely. Vietnam is one of the world’s leading exporters of apparel and textiles. Importivity has direct connections with factories specializing in clothing, footwear, and technical fabrics. We help U.S. brands balance cost, compliance, and speed-to-market while navigating Vietnam’s strengths in labor cost savings and large production capacity.

  • Vietnam vs. China: Vietnam offers lower labor costs and tariff advantages, while China still dominates in scale and advanced electronics.

  • Vietnam vs. Mexico: Vietnam provides larger labor pools and lower wages, but Mexico wins in shipping speed and nearshoring convenience.

Importivity helps clients evaluate these trade-offs so you can choose the best sourcing destination for your business.
